A grunge paste dilemma

The photo isn't brilliant as it's on the hudl but as you can see I've been having a grunge paste crisis.  So had the idea to email Leandra at paperartsy for advice, I'm a slow crafter and being opened for a long time means it has basically gone off but she suggested I used the satin glaze and also give it a good old stir to see if it can be rescued. Its not perfect but definitely better.

The top of the picture shows how dry and yucky it was, next bit shows what a good stir and dollop of satin glaze can achieve. A good tip to know.

Girl's day out

Yesterday Jenny and I went to the first show of the year. Went on a Thursday for a change but just as busy and the roads too.  I didn't buy too much as trying to get other projects done, however it didn't stop me, I ended up buying 2 patterns and fabrics!

It was a lovely day and very happy with my purchase's. Although not looking forward to having to measure myself to cut out the pattern! 

The next project for Tom

So we now have the base on which to build our shepherd hut. But before we can make a start there's a few jobs that need to be done. The fence is back up and the surface is being prepared for the pots of trees to go back. Then we can look to take down the gazebo lay a base and somehow move this over then we can start!

A surprise

My neighbour returned a Cricut cartridge this week along with a wonderful gift. So thoughtful and unexpected.
