Hi everyone,
I hope you are having a lovely weekend.
I got a lovely surprise today,
Reg took me out for our lunch,
There was only one thing wrong,
We had to go to B&Q for tiles for the downstairs toilet,
I had no idea we were going for a meal.....
Picture this....
Old slacks, Old shoes, Red socks & my old comfy coat...
I was such a sight.... Nothing new there then... Ha Ha.

Today I set up my selling page,
I have been going to do this for ages.
This is my first item (Sold)
I hope you like it.

This is the tangled mess I bought from Dunelm.

I've got some really good news.......

Hi everyone,
Sorry I've been missing for a while...
I've been suffering with depression,
I've lost my Mojo for Card-Making ,
But I have found other craft helpful in taking my mind of things.
I recently visited a fabulous shop on our Marina,
Le Chicsy.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-chicsy/632210106840159?fref=nf
It's run by a lovely lady named Lisa Tobin....
To cut a long story short,
She said I could take some of my Craft Creations in to sell.
It would be lovely if you hopped over & liked her page.


You might remember my Shadow Box (Sewing)


Two of my altered Photo Frames.


A selection of Altered Books & Tags.


Thank you so much for visiting my blog,
I will return all the visits.

Lots of love,
Sylvia X
