Papercrafting on a Saturday

Here's the results of Saturday's Beginners Craft Workshop and what lovely results we got.

Anne used three different papers, a double sided Emma Bridgewater design, a handmade paper and part of a Kandinsky design

Diana used this double sided postage stamp design which matches a cushion she has in her front room

Susan, a keen knitter knew she wanted a piece that would reflect her love of knitting, so she made the little centre piece beforehand.

Rose used lovely combinations of music sheets, tartan and spots for hers and cleverly cut out a paper flower for the crotchet centre to sit on.

Charlotte chose a bird theme.  This is a lovely doublesided design I picked up at YEW TREE BARN, near Grange Over Sands, where we have a caravan.

We had a really nice day and my good friend Susan came and made the tea for us.  I wonder what the ladies on the last of my workshops on this project will come up with next Saturday.

Studio Wall

I've been trying to work out why my photgraphs have been looking so hazy.

So I took some shots with my Iphone of my studio wall. 

 It seems to be if I load them straight onto blogger 

from the phone there is a film over them

But if I load them from the phone to the computer its not there

Mr Holland hasn't a clue and thinks I'm amazing with technology.

Bless him !  But this is from a man who can't work the 

microwave and has a brick of a mobile phone

What's on my workdesk today ........

This is a card I've made for a school friend who is 60 this week.

 I've used one of my own photographs and machine stitched onto it.

How did we get to this age so quickly.

No big party for me where you can't hear each other speak because of the booming music.  No, mine will be far more exciting and go on for months with lots of events like picnics, afternoon teas, trips out, visiting friends, family holidays.  

I've got a book full of plans hee hee.

But for now I'm off to the post box.

Don't forget to have a look around the crafters desks over at Julia's blog

WOYWW

Doodly Birds swooping in ......

Mrs Dale's Friendship Book is now being invaded by those pesky Doodly Birds.

 I loved her thoughts on the colour of grass.

"What a very happy thought God had when He decided to make grass green!

I often think that when I look out at the lawn in April and May. Suppose we had had red grass ? It would'nt have been nearly as restful, white would have been quite hopeless and yellow too dazzling.  Brown or black would have been both horribly dull, and though blue grass might have just got by, green is, undoubtedly the only colour for grass"

So what would her thoughts have been on all the fashionable coloured grasses we have in our gardens now, I wonder.
