Octopus Inchie

Hi All. I am back from a wonderful weekend. We went to a surprise party for one of my cousins who was 70 yesterday. She hadn't a clue about any of it but was so pleased that we were all there to celebrate with her. I loved seeing family members I don't see very often.  The ages ranged from 6 weeks old to 90 but everyone had a great time.

I haven't crafted much at all this week with Linda being here then going off to the party, life does get in the way of crafting sometimes :)

At Every Inchie Monday this week the subject is Octopus.

Usual felt and bling for mine with an octopus printed out on canvas.

Thank you for calling in.

Lovely sunny day here but still cold.

    Love your little sweet inchi, isn't it a shame we can't craft and party at the same time.

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.
