Good Morning gang!
Yes its Monday again, I was thinking of giving myself the day off today but then looked at exactly how much work I have for the next few days, so day off is not on the cards for this week, Lucky I adore my job isnt it!
Anyway, I cant move on to this week without telling you all about the weekend I just had. Will tell you about yesterday first & do a separate post about Friday/Saturday because I have loads to tell you about! So,yesterday Amber & I drove down to the NEC from the North East, Its always nice to have time to do the NEC as a customer because Amber can come and do little workshops and stuff, yesterday she had a go at Origami, Folk Art painting and Pyrography,
here is what she made
How clever is she!!!
Now, I wasnt gonna show you the one thing I made, but I changed my mind-NO LAUGHING!
Its not amazing is it!
So do I keep this as my first and only attempt at this type of painting, or do I put my stubborn head on and try to master it??
Moving on swiftly, we also met up with my lovely blog buddy Jane L and her grandaughters Ocean & Willow (cool names or what) Its always nice to see you all at shows and even better to be able to grab a coffee & chat, so thank you Jane & the girls.
We caught up with the gang at the Claritystamp stand too of course, where I got my hands on the new Theuva Card, it feels lush-cant wait to have a play.
Speaking of play, I bought a few bits from the MDF man to have a play with, I have some workshop ideas for those!
Zentangle book also came home with us, I showed Stevie when he came home from nan's last night and he was immediately inspired to have a go while we all ate the Maltesers & Toblerone he bought me.
So all in all it was a great girls day out!
Back later to tell you about Friday/Saturday.
Wow I think your first attempt at painting is gorgeous!!!! I think it came out beautifully!!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no laughing from me. I think it is amazing how well you did with that painting. Definitely stick with it and master it to your own satisfaction.
