Bits of life.

Well guys, here i am after goodness knows how long. Life has been up and down. Last year was my 1st as a scooterist. Well, i was actually sat on the back of my Husbands Scooter. But now i own my own. I need to get my 1st licence, do my CBT, (compulsary bike test) and i am on the road. I can't wait, although i'm nervous too. I wanted to be ready for the 1st Rally of the season in Scarborough at the end of March but that won't be happening. Skegness is a no go either cos my Step Daughter is due to deliver her 3rd baby, Euan, on 7th May & we are having the other kids while she's doing all the hard work. So when i will actually ride to my 1st rally i'm not sure but just nipping round town is all i will be managing at 1st. At least i will get some practice.


Sadly i lost my luvly Mum to a brain hemmorhage in Sept. I miss her so much. And although i loved her & do still, i realise now just how much. I didn't show her enough.We weren't that close really, not the Mother,  Daughter relationship where she was like my best friend, as i would have loved but she was always there for us. I wish i had told her more what she meant to me. And wish i had done more. RIP Mum.

 




I did'nt have any internet connection for a few weeks, so thought i'd get on with some crafting. But did i? No i did not. Apart from a handmade book that i made as a gift for my friend Mandy Lou. I have just put the finishing touches to it tonight. I was inspired by Jennibellie's videos on Youtube, Amy Tangerine's day books, Smash BooksJunque Journals so this is my interpretation of all of them rolled into one.
I have had a lot of fun making it so i hope you enjoy looking at some of the pages.


 I am thinking of making some & selling (hopefully) on Etsy. Along with a few small canvasses & whatever else i create.

I always wonder about these videos on Youtube. Everyone seems to know exactly which peice of embellishment or peice of paper, however small came from. But i just don't. So if you like any of the papers and want to know where they come from. Then don't ask me. Enjoy!
