Inchie and Happy Mail

Happy New Week to you all and thank you for your welcome visit to my blog. I need a bit of cheering up today as my mother-in-law was taken in to hospital again yesterday. We didn't find her this time, a care manager did as she had the number to the key safe so we didn't know much about it until later. It will mean lots of work for us today. Not a clue what state the flat is in or even if MIL has got anything with her in the hospital. We will make sure the flat is safe, collect some stuff then off to Scarborough to the hospital.

Every Inchie Monday have loco as the theme this week.


I have two as I lost one of them I made so made another one and the first one turned up lol. Both are on felt ready to stitch into my years inchies.

 Haven't made anything else so I thought I would show you something really special. I wasn't going to open it until Christmas but I needed cheering up so opened it early.


This beautiful box arrived from Valerie. She is such an inspiration as I always decorate boxes I am sending now and never would have thought of it before I received one from her last year.

Just look at all the wonderful things that were inside. I am so happy with everything and can't wait to use them. The calendar is for Vic and me  and it is fantastic with wonderful photographs

Have a lovely day everyone

Chrissie xx

    Lovely inchie, and glad the parcel cheered you up. Hope you enjoy using your bits and bobs. By the way, the little bottle of 'Siegel Lack' is a clear varnish for using on paper. Have a lovely day, hugs, Valerie

    Beautiful inchies Chrissie! What a lovely gift from Valerie, a wonderful box of goodies. When my hubby needs cheering up, I have a little dance I do with my fur-babies, and it works every time...you can't see me, but I'm doing it for you right now. My thoughts and wishes to your MIL, for a healthy holiday. hugs :)

    Oh Chrissie - I'm so sorry to read about the developments with your MIL - as I'm going backwards I hadn't seen this when I left the earlier comment. Will be thinking of you over Christmas, and I'm so glad you had some happy mail to cheer you up.

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
