Charms

Hello Everyone and Happy St George's Day. We English don't seem to do anything to celebrate this day at all and I must confess if I hadn't seen it as my Google header today I wouldn't have even known it was our Saint's Day. No shamrocks, no daffodils and leeks for us-never mind we maybe will think of something by next year:(

I joined in a charms swap at Artful Times this was organised by Von at Artful Times who did all the work by receiving, sorting and sending the charms for us. Thank you Von.



These are the ones that I received and I love all of them and the little labels that Von added are beautiful so I will keep those on the charms as well.

The idea of putting them onto a card by Cindy was exactly what I needed as I have been making charms/key rings and brooches for a friend with cancer to sell for the MacmIllan Appeal. I didn't know how to present them and the card idea worked just right I think


This lot are all ready packed up to post so I will start on some more and maybe make some animal ones for a change. With all the sport on television at the moment I need something to do whilst I watch it-I just love watching sport! I did go for a walk yesterday that was over 10 miles so I don't just sit on my btm all day every day lol.

Thanks for dropping by

Love Chrissie xx

    You have been a very busy bee. They are so cute. You've made me tired just reading that you walked over 10 miles - well done.

Tag and Journal page design

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
