Ponderings.....

What to do on a wet day, more sorting of boxes finding an old diary and being inspired to journal, drawings hand drawn inspiration taken from the 1994 diary I found when sorting. Following some camera technique guidance yesterday suggesting that you should not

1. use the flash for these kind of photos

2. if you put your subject on a white background the camera apature opens more thus making the picture brighter

I am uploading a revised photo. Thank you Kate for your sound advice.

Catch Up

Ladies who lunch do a project each month. I have not been very good with blogging over the last few months so here are 2 projects January and November, if I get the pics in the right order! January was the bird house using metal, November was the the Ikea mirror with metal panels. We made a Christmas door wreath in December as seen here on Ann's blog.

More stuff

Just testing. This is nothing to do with crafting but just trying out the Blogger app. Simples! This was my Grans tea set.

366 calendar challenge

Yesterday I spent a very enjoyable day at AFTH with Kate Crane. The class was preparing more pages for this years challenge. I managed 2 pages, so March and April are now ready to go. It was great to see all the different styles of journal used. Pictures are taken on my iphone but cannot work out yet how to send pictures directly to blogger. Would have been ok with a text only post. Any tips please?


Oops missed February.
