Hi lovely blogging friends - I hope you are enjoying your weekend, whatever you are doing.
*******
I recently had the pleasure of spending a whole day with the oh-so-talented Jean Hardy of Crafty Individuals fame, at her craft class which was held in a beautiful cottage in Whitby on the East Yorkshire coast. Crafting doesn't get much better than this - believe me.
It was a wonderful day, with awesome views across Whitby bay - the sun was shining, the home-made lunch was fantastic (not to mention the wine and the never-ending supply of chocolates!). Malcolm and Kay were there too, of course, and I met some lovely crafters on the day.
************************
My "shabby-chic" clock project is pictured below - something quite new for me, but as my regular visitors will know - I do not have a particular "style" - I just love crafting!!
So here it is (must admit - I didn't finish it at the class - spent too much time talking and eating!), but it is now complete, and all of the images are Crafty Individuals - either stamps or papers - some of them decoupaged, which doesn't show up very well on the photo. A few embellishments are from my own stash.
********************
I would like to enter my project into the following challenges:
