Billie’s Craft Room – FREE online workshops

My friend Billie is hosting a series of online workshops, completely free of charge this summer, called Adventures in Acrylics! Be there or be square! Billie has been making video tutorials for Youtube for a long time now and she’s cool, calm and collected! She delivers her tutorials in a no-nonsense, fun way and has [...]

Embracing the new…

Due to the fact that I have started to concentrate more on digital and photo art more than traditional mediums, I won’t be posting to this blog as much anymore. I have started another wordpress blog called “Embracing Life Digitally“ to showcase all my things photographic, digital and haiku – a far cry from where [...]

One of my faves…

Posting one of our favourite photos is pretty popular this time of the year, but I’m going to post one of my favourite subject: Millie-mou! She’s small and quite obliging in her own sleepy, lazy little way and she is quite simply adorable (if you can’t smell her breath… yuck!) for a Yorkie cross. I [...]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all… I am happy that 2011 is firmly behind me/us. As a family, it was a real year of change, ups and downs, some very unpleasant times that I thought would never end and a real learning curve. It taught me that I will go to almost any lengths for [...]

Leftover leftovers…!

I made spicy potato cakes for brunch today and now I have leftovers from my leftovers… All I did was cook a sliced leek and add that to the leftover potatoes, along with seasoning, a knob of butter and some cold stuffing. I heated up the pan, coated the base with a little oil and [...]

Sleeping with the enemy!

Does anyone else have pets who pretend to get along but beat other up when you’re out?! That’s the only explanation for Millie and Shadow… Shadow’s a complete swine and really ready with the “paws” – he’ll box anything his size, bigger or smaller. Millie’s an attack-dog in her head, but can be really cowardly [...]

Gratitude…

I am feeling content today – there’s the wonderful aroma of good food cooking, family gathered, DD’s napping and DH is playing on the Wii. Life is good and I am so grateful for the abundance we have. Merry Christmas to you all and a very Happy New Year… ♥  

And the winner is…

I had 9 entries into the MMS giveaway draw – here are the names written down and put into a bowl. And the name that came out is: Julie Watson! Congratulations, Julie. Please let me have your email address so I can contact My Memories and let them know you have won! I bet you’ll [...]

Regrets? I have a few…

Just messing about with words and numbers really! For Take a Word this week – “Sepia”… I’ve always thought this woman is pretty eerie! Thanks to Bonnie Zieman for the textures and to Photoshop Warrior for the tutorial which showed me how to create a ‘classic photo effect’! The images are all from Elizabeth Golden [...]

You are so boo-tiful!

I am enjoying a very loving relationship with my DD’s new kitten – Boo – at the moment, as he doesn’t live here and I can see him grow via the photos she takes with her Blackberry! I then demand those and set to work playing around with them… It may have started life as [...]
