Well hey, I feel all up to date on this one now... wonder how long that will last? Finally resolved my argument with Virgin photos - they refunded me and I printed them out myself! So here are August and September's Save the day pages. Wonder what I should go and catch up on next? I never really got started on My Freedom so maybe that's top of the list!
August was so busy workwise, that this is me just sitting down to scrap for the first time in ages... and catching up on another July page! This was our team challenge on UKS for the Bitty Blossoms, where we are running a Book of Months (or seasons) with Willow setting challenges. July was about the Celtic tree month of Holly, so I took these photos at Alnwick Castle when we were on our hols in July - looking through the castle doors to a big holly bush! It was strange as I always associate holly with December and Christmas, but of course it's all year round, and the young green leaves were so vibrant.
I was away on holiday on 25th July - all the family down to Keswick for lots of games and books and fun.. think Gran might be getting fed up getting snapped though! So guess I should be thinking about getting August's piccies printed out and organised.
It comes by so quickly - I haven't actually quite done July's page yet. Yesterday was an at home day, a get organised and do some work and I've got a headache day. It started out very wet, got a bit sunny and then back downhill again. I took a few piccies with my camera phone, not always so good though...
It was nice to sit in the wee bit of sun in my tidy craft chair corner though!
This started out life as the pea green boat for the owl and the pussycat, but I kind of got carried away, and they preferred sitting out on the windowsill rather than being in a boat, so it became a fancy bowl thing. I used some wet felting to get rid of the fuzzy sticking out bits at the back, then reshaped and needled again - all just experimenting really, but fun.
I tried to do another one and it came out very differently - this became a birthday gift for my sister.
And this just wanted to be a penguin....
Chronicles of Me, originally uploaded by Flapsi Hapsi.Having a bit of fun this morning over the breakfast cup of tea and a leisurely skim over my blog favourites and I found this fun little idea on Emily Falconbridge's blog, and she got it from Denise. You answer a series of questions about yourself, type the answer into flickr search, choose a photo from the first page of results then do a photo mosaic. I love this! Have a go.
The questions are:
