Tag Tuesday.

By

The theme of this tag for Tag Tuesday is 'Music' and straight away I knew what I could do for this. I live at the foot of the Malvern Hills, Malvern is Elgar country - you know 'Land Of Hope & Glory', 'The Enigma Variations'. Well there is a cottage - we can see it from ours - where Edward Elgar lived on and off and where he wrote a lot of his music. The music I have used on my tag comes from 'The Dream Of Gerontius' which he wrote at Birchwood Lodge and there is a picture of him on his bike which he used to ride around the lanes by us. (It is even fabled that the great man's father even came to our house to tune the old piano now sitting in our dinning room). Now how is that for a history lesson on a Wednesday  morning - hope I haven't bored you all too much! See you soon - Jacqueline xx.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
