The Three Muses challenge theme this week is simply “Time” – something we could all do with more of I think. For me, there are never enough hours in the day, but I was feeling time passing more as seasons when I created this page. I definitely had the autumn vibe with my colour palette…

I’ve been looking forward to getting painterly again and had fun making backgrounds, etc. whilst tidying up. I’ve let things slide a bit because I realised that worrying about DH has definitely affected my mojo and lowered my energy levels too. Bummer!
Still, today was better and I’ve created this journalled page for The Three Muses [...]

I have so much to share… Okay, so it’s been a phenomenally busy week – you can tell because I haven’t blogged since Wednesday! I felt a great deal of pressure earlier this week because I’ve taken the huge step of opening my own “Studio” on ArtFire.com… yep, I have art for sale! If there’s [...]

Gothic Arches this week – “Roses”. I’ve combined a lovely soft Romance Tag from Ten Two Studios with a grungy background and a gothic rose stamp from Home Impressions with a little piece of a broken earring from my collection of junk jewellery. The fabric rose is on a wire stem which I threaded through [...]

Briefly, here’s my card for this week’s theme at Theme Thursday – Friends 4×4 – featuring a Mother/Daughter image from DCS. I chose to make this because until she passed, my Mum was my best friend and I still miss her terribly.
I’ve had the most wonderful day today. Nick arranged for 4 severely disabled guys [...]

It seems absolutely ridiculous to be making autumnal projects already, as we haven’t even had a summer! But, hey ho! Fi, at Inchy by Inch, has challenged us to make inchies this week using autumn colours and I have made this wooden leaf, decorated with inchies and gold leafy rub-ons. The background colours are Whispers [...]
