Journal Page and Altered Box

Hello All. Hope your week is going well. I am enjoying a quiet week as the Care Home is still closed to visitors. I have been knitting lots more Twiddle Muffs as word is spreading that I am making them and people are asking if they can order one. I am not charging for them but may have to start asking for a small donation as the things I add to them have all run out now so I will need to buy some more.

Art Journal Journey have 'If You Go Down in the Woods' and it is going well indeed

This is a revamped version of a digital page I created way back in 2005. At the time I had a passion for painting my own fairies-afraid this one looks as though she is wearing baggy knickers under her tights :) It is so funny to find old folders with things I made a long time ago but I will enjoy changing them a bit I'm sure.


 I am joining in at Dragon's Lair Challenge Blog where they have a grid for you to choose a line


I chose Pink, Box and Bow as my line


I covered a box for Easter as it had the little eggs inside. I am giving it to my husband but not sure he will be keen on the sentiment. I added this because I wanted to enter the Make My Monday Challenge as one of my blog buddies is a DT member there and the theme this time is Lucky. I made the plaid paper and the sentiment card in Paint Shop Pro.

Hope your day goes well

Love Chrissie xx

    I love your re-worked page Chrissie. had to smile at the baggy knickers, but it just looks like a pretty frill on her skirt to me. Love the box as well.
    You have found a gap with the twiddle muffs, I am not surprised that they are popular. Enjoy the break from all the visiting MIL is in good hands.

    The faerie page is really interesting (can't say I noticed the baggy knickers!) and I'm sure your hubby will be a lot more interested by the chocolate eggs than the outside to notice the sentiment!

    Now come on Chrissie! There's nothing wrong with baggy knickers - much better than tight ones! I love your woodland fairy! Love the gift you have made for hubby! Thank you for your support! Hugs, Chrisx

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
