Just home........

By

Evening everyone. I'm just home from an amazingly crafty weekend at SirStampalot, Peterborough and thought I'd write a quick post before I sit down and glue myself to the telly for an hour of Downton Abbey, the first of the new series. 
Thank you to everyone who came along to the demo day yesterday, it was great to see you al and hope you went away inspired to cut into all the papers you bought, after stroking and smelling them of course.

Today was workshop day.  We started off in true Costa Coffee style, thanks Donna for picking up the orders.  Did Janice and Andy share one? 

And then we stuck, painted and snipped our projects into shape around some shopping breaks lol!  Here's a few pics of the little cabinets coming to life.  

Huge thanks Janice and Andy for their warm welcome and hospitality over the weekend.  Look forward to being with you again on 2nd November and 20th December for more G45 craftiness :) 

Its creeping towards 9pm here so I'll have to get gone, grab a coffee and snuggle on the settee, so thanks for calling by enjoy Downton if you're watching it, and look forward to attaching up again later in the week :-)  Oh, the coat was still in the shop in Salcombe on Wednesday and is now home in my wardrobe ready to trip out in.  I was definitely meant to buy it lol!!!  ttfn......

    Good evening Clare, Great photographs and as always everyone looks as if they have had a great day. I too had intended to watch DA from the comfort of our sofa in the lounge but sadly my OH's favourite Italian football team Inter were playing and since that started earlier he called "dibs". Drat! No probs I ended up watching it in one of the spare rooms so all's well! Glad to read your shopping spree was successful. Take care

    Thanks for the pics. I'm jealous! We haven't gotten the new Downton Abbey yet, and I can hardly wait 'til we do! We sit in suspended animation for the whole show. :-)

    Morning Clare, Hope you enjoyed Downton, I certainly did, although I was starting to 'nod' towards 10.30, we are usually going to bed at 10pm haha. It was certainly a jam packed episode, don't you think.
    Lovely, lovely piccies today of your workshops at Sir Stampalot, everyone proudly showing their creations.
    So glad to hear that your coat was still waiting for you in the shop !! you were definitely meant to have it.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    I've got one of those kits to make the box - just never got around to decorating it. Now I see that I really must paint it black first, which makes covering it easier, as I wouldn't have to get the paper to fold around the edges. Thank you for posting the pics, it looks as if they all had a great time.

July Giveaway and crafty Weekend in Milford Haven

By
Morning everyone, Happy Monday to you.  I"m home after a fabulous weekend with Cheryl, Jan and Chris, at their fabulous shop, In House Interiors in Milford Haven.  It was a full house on Friday for our Artisan Style workshop where we constructed, painted and altered pencil cases and albums.  Saturday was demo day and another full house.  Cheryl, Jan & Chris, thank you so much for hosting the event for all your hard work and your hospitality, you really did spoiled me :-)  It's been quite a while since I've travelled over the border to Wales so I was quit excited as I passed the Welcome to Wales sign and then Raglan Castle. For those of you unfamiliar with our isle, Wales is full of magnificent Castles, sandy beaches, picturesque scenery and a gorgeous coastline.  I had to have a quick pit stop to see Raglan Castle. Saw my first Dragon too :-)   After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
