Upcycling a glass box for Love!

Time for a bit of collage fun, after spotting this sweet glass box in a charity shop. It was filled with potpourri and purple silk, but all I saw was potential despite the strong smell!

I cut some squares of thick card to fit each section - all different - then covered each piece with a page of a bible before getting busy with stickers, beads, threads and my neatest writing ...

The lid is secured with small pieces of creative memories tape and matching embroidery thread too!

Happy Christmas!

The fuzzies and I send you our LOVE!

This is a little gift we made together for our dear friend ....

Peter and Jane?

No, this is my work - a snippet of one of the drawings for my children's book!

Two of a good friends children made wonderful models for this picture about having fun! http://www.herewearetogether.com/2012/07/19/drawings/

Doing some Drawing ...

Two children, water - fun!

These will be Pastel drawings, for my book ...

Because you are mine!

The children's book im working on is carried about with me in portable form, only very recently it was accidently given an oil bath (dont ask!) and has become hard to read! Although i will keep it as it has memories and some charming additions from Daisy, it is time for a new copy to carry about with me ...

Today I made ....

Cornbread ...Yummy!

Added the tail to a monkey ...

And let my friend play with my pins!

WIP Illustrating again ...

Adding depth ....

I am so excited with this project, I have wanted to work on the children's book for years! xxx

WIP pastels, and pottery!

Yesterday i did not post because i was far too busy having a fun birthday, but today i took a wonderful picture of a friend of mine and her daughter, and my box of pastels out ... This needs a lot more work of course! I have not used my pastels for a long time.

And as the sun went down and the chickens went to roost, I make myself a hot chocolate in one of my birthday presents, see beaker folk to get your own lovely mug!

Spirit filled!

Today after a busy morning out, I settled the children down to watch Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron which is a huge favourite of theirs at the Moment! Here is Spirit running from the fire, drawn by daisy afterwoods. The fire did not scan well, being a lovely day-glo orange pen!



While they were watching, I enjoyed the sound track and got to work story-boarding a children's book I am writing ... watch this space to see how far I get with that one!



and then, during the teaching hour on UCB, I gave these Guinea pigs their feet and ears, so they could listen too!

What did you do this weekend?

I went in the sea!

Briefly...

cuddle time ...

some times, you have to stop what you are doing ...



and cuddle a buff Orpington!

no, its not a school room ....

it's my partly re-vamped dining room ...

and my 3 of my four girls love it ...
