I'M MOVING!!!

Yep, that's right. Yet again i am moving. We are finally getting out of this mouldy old flat on the 13th floor and moving to a downstairs 2 bed clean fresh & bright flat. With a decent sized garden that is all mine. I cannot wait.

It's amazing how much you take for granted. I will have a washing line for the 1st time in 2 years. It's not the same hanging it out on the balcony. For one thing it could be a little breezy on the ground but blowing a gale 13th floors up & if my washing blows off, i never see it again. It could be anywhere. I can see the ferry from Hull to Rotterdam from where i am, so if the wind is right it could get carried off to the Netherlands.




So everything is going to get packed. I don't think i ever got unpacked from the last move. The only art stuff i am keeping out is my Art journal / Junque journal kits. So i always have a pen and paper to hand. If that's all i have, then maybe i will journal more.

I joined a PIF on Facebook. It was a Spiritual Pay it Forward for Valentines Day, and you had to offer your PIF, anyone that wanted to receive it left a comment and you sent it to whomever you were drawn to. There were lots on offer from paintings, spiritual distant healing, Reiki & Angel card readings as well as crystals jewellery etc. I offered a handmade Angel bookmark. I was drawn to one lady that had the same surname as my Mum's maiden name. And then when i saw her profile, she actually lives in the same town in Yorkshire as where i was born & grew up. So it had to be her. I wonder if we're related in any way. I hope she likes it.






It's almost five years since my beautiful Son, Eric died (Mar. 8th) & yesterday my best friend brought me this gift. I cried so much when i saw it, she thought she'd upset me. But they were loving tears. She is so special with such a loving heart. This gift means the world to me.

So wish me luck on the packing. Hopefully i will be back before we move with some journal pages to look at. xx

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 Books & Junque 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!
