Wasn’t it snow and ice and Christmas about 2 months ago???
Apparently not!
This year is flying by, which is a bit worrying as they say that the older you get the quicker time passes…. I don’t believe that for a second!
So, as the weather is beautiful I think we should do something slightly different for June, just in case this sunshine continues and we don’t want to be inside.
I’ll let you know what soon, but if you would like to swap something next month then leave a comment here!
It’ll be fun, I promise!
Hope you’re all getting on well with your “How does your garden grow” Minis,
Enjoy the sunshine,

Hey girlies, have you seen the fab art Journal that Louise made? If not hop over and have a look, she even has a step-by-step on Youtube.
Anyhoo, I’ve been keeping an art journal for a good while now so I thought i’d show you the cover. ( I strongly recommend keeping an art journal to deal with the ups and downs of everyday life!) You can write the most random things in it, its just a big (A4) pretty book full of thoughts, sometimes worries and all the time hopes and dreams!
The “TRUST” on the cover is to remind me to have faith in the universe! Trust that fate isn’t going to kick my ass, trust that every cloud has a silver lining etc.,….
Enough rambling, I’m off to a beach BBQ in Inch now….. its a hard life!!

Hey there,
Its Friday and after a truly stressfull week, there is finally time to relax.
My keyboard is now covered in gesso!
I’m having a sudden attack of “Finish-it-itus” so, all those half finished altered books that are scattered over my desk are getting the attention they deserve at last!
I have a birthday mini album to finish and send to Canada (its so close to being finished, but I can’t decide what its missing – at this rate it’ll be a Christmas present!)
The album i’m making for this months swap started off with a theme and colourscheme… but there were just so many nice things, and now the scheme is “organised cluttered” I’d better not say anymore, Ann might be reading this!……….
So, I will get back to it now, I think the gesso is dry.
Is anyone coming to the midnight crop next month? I need to organise it, so if you are leave a comment here or on the Crafty Alley blog I’ll know how many kits to make.
Thats all for now,

Hi all, its Sunday already!! how did that happen?
I’ve done very little crafting………… boo.
I’ve climbed lots of mountains….. hoorah!
The bare minimum of housework has been done, so i suppose thats ok. It needs to rain so I can clean my house, if its sunny I can’t stay indoors!
My brother is visiting from England so i’ve been out and about with him, its lovely to have him here – I haven’t seen him for 3 years.
So those are all my excuses for not posting anything for ages!
I will post the pictures of Anns mini as soon as its finished, how are you all getting on with yours?
Ok, i’m off to eat lemon tart now,
have a good week! x
May 1st is celebrated for alot of reasons, but heres one that we can all join in with – International Scrapbooking day! I’m working on a few ‘altered’ projects, but I think that counts as scrapping…
The partners for the swap this month are as follows:
Clare – Robin
Cathy – Jenny
Ebony – Ann marie
Tracey – Christine
Ann – Felicia
The challenge is to use paint instead of paper on one page, and the theme is “How does your garden grow?”
I hope you all have a very happy May Day,
Love,
F xx
Hi ladies, how are you all getting along with your April swaps?
For May, because some people are busy and some are back i’m going to ask you to leave me a comment here if you want to play this month.
So, you have untill 8pm on the 30th (thats Friday) to sign up and then i’ll assign partners on the 1st May.
I’m dying to join in again, i haven’t made anything at all this month, so hopefully someone will want to swap with me!!
So, take care and i hope to see your name here.

Well, Bantry was beautiful, we stayed in the Maritime Hotel and ate in O’Connors seafood restaurant – Wow, it was sooooo lovely, I was so full!!
Its really nice to go away, my parents came with us and the kids stayed at home to mind the dogs! thats the upside of Ebony having passed her driving test, she can do the school run – the down side is, Wheres my car?????????
Of course we were also accompanied by the stripey shawl, I actually finished it in time!!! I was so amazed, it started by casting on 5 stitches, and i cast off 403!! its really warm and I just love, love, love it!
So here are the piccys….
xxxxx
Its Wednesday, i’m going away tomorrow, its still on the needles!! However, i have very little left to do so this evening i will become a casting off, stitching in ends, pressing, kind of lunatic who will hopefully be the proud (so proud!!) owner of a stripey shawl!
Byeee x
Hi, i’m afraid i’ve nothing new to show for this week…. i’ve done nothing but knit in an attempt to prove i can finish something !
I’m away to the mountains today, but won’t bore you with photos ( unless they are really good!) are you noticing a pattern here? the sun is shining, i’m out somewhere – if its raining i’m crafting!!
Enjoy your day,

Hello again, I recently heard from a friend of a game she had played years ago and it got me thinking….
When you have finished reading a book, you write your name, the date and the place you left it in the front. I suppose you could add your blog or email instead of your name.
Anyway you put it in a bag and leave it somewhere, anywhere, and the person who finds it reads it, signs it and leaves it somewhere… and so on it goes!
I think i will start one and just see where it goes- Do you think this is a good idea or am i just leaving my details to crazy people????!
