Hello everyone. Welcome to my little part of Blog Land and thank your for your visit.  Happy T Day if you have arrived from Elizabeth's where she invites everyone to post a drink related post every Tuesday. I usually post mine Monday evening as Tuesday is always my 'busy' new challenge day on my blog. The new challenge tomorrow will be at Tag Tuesday so hope to see you there We went on the train to Goole as we wanted to see the Waterways Museum. Before we set off to find the museum we found this really lovely cafe in a very large but strange building. Usual toasted tea cakes and coffee and they were really nice. Not sure I would ever go to Goole again but I do have photographs to show you of our adventure there--they just need sorting out. The Every Inchie Monday theme this week is zebra I picked up the wrong colouring pen and the poor animal has a blue mane. At More Mixed Media you can make anything at all with the option this time of adding some purple to your project....

Hello everyone who calls in and thank you for your visit. We have got a little bit of rain at last and the plants and the grass already look a lot happier. Still very cold though so not quite summer yet. More Mixed Media have anything goes with pink if you like  I bought some folders and hadn't a clue what to do with them, then I did a bit of sorting through things and thought it would be good to save different papers in different folders. I made a cover for the front by painting acrylic and then adding glitter and some gold Aztec metallics that I let drip in all directions. The face was one from a long time ago that I created in PSP and printed out. I added the pink labels as my extra. Had to cut the folder down a bit to fit on the shelf that I have decided will be a good place for all of them. I will enter this at Altered Eclectics as well where anything goes except for cards etc. At Art Journal Journey the theme this time was chosen by Gill and we have to get our thinking cap...

Hi All and Happy Easter if you celebrate this festival. Nice to have you take time to call in-thank you I am feeling a lot better now but staying inside as the wind is very cold.  At Moo Mania and More the theme for this challenge is Egypt Here are an Egyptian couple erecting a new pillar in the lounge-well maybe or maybe not. I have done a mixed project and it is for two challenges.   At More Mixed Media the challenge is Anything Goes with added yellow as an option and at Mixed Media World Anything Goes with watercolour somewhere on the project Not sure if this a canvas, a picture or just a project.  It started out as a water colour painting of a tree as I followed a tutorial online. As it looked nothing like a tree so I turned it into a flower and cut it out to use. The card was torn from an old box and painted white then I added drops of alcohol ink onto the wet paint. Next some embossing using a stencil . This was all stuck onto a background made of torn pieces ...

Happy start of the week everyone who calls in and thank you for your visit. It was great to see I have now reached 150 followers but to have any at all is always a good feeling. I am so lucky to have visitors every time I post something. At Every Inchie Monday this week we have crow as the subject. I should know plenty about those birds as we have loads near to where we live. Now we have starlings nesting under our roof tiles at the front of the house and the back as well. I guess they are trying to hide from the crows, seagulls and magpies that try to steal their eggs. More Mixed Media have Anything Goes with an option to use yellow. Definitely mixed as I designed the black and white background in Paint Shop Pro with some brushes that I had made then I printed it out. I used white pen as a highlighter and some colour with Promarkers. Next I cut out flowers from a seed catologue and also drew flowers here and there to fill in the spaces on the pages. Thanks for the idea of the flower...
