Where to start..

By
I have had such a busy time recently - I've been taking part in a local festival (a bit like Glastonbury but without the horrible music and mud!!!!!). I had a stall selling my cards and paper crafted gifts and boy did I melt underneath my tent - phew! But I also took part in something else rather special. The theme of the festival was Masquerade and the local art group decided to take a picture of some masks, blow it up, divide it into 24 separate square and each member paint a square. They also asked local artists (me!) to contribute too. Here is how I started
and here is how it finished

The whole painting when it was unveiled looked like this

If you look along the top row, second from the left - that's mine! It was great fun to do.
Now I'm sorry - no cards to show you today. The reason is this little monster

This cute little fur ball is Louis - my daughter (who is leaving for uni in but a few short weeks) decided to bring him home last week. Now we live in a tiny, pokey cottage - full of nooks and crannies just right for the little rascal to get stuck in and I have spent the day kitten proofing the house. And of course she works so who gets to cat sit all day? Yep you've guessed it - me. No spare time for a while me thinks!!!!!
I hope you have enjoyed this brief break from crafting, normal service (I hope) will soon be resumed as Bev is popping round tomorrow so I shall at least be attempting to craft!! See you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    The mask panel looks fabulous Jacqueline and I could just see your section - a bit like looking for a jigsaw puzzle piece!
    Kitty looks really cute but I'm sure a big handful. Hope you've kitten proofed the curtains too!
    Have a great week and try not to let him wear you out.
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    What a brilliant thing to be part of Jacqueline - you must feel very proud! I thought of you on Saturday - first because it started out rather murky and I know you had an early start and then th temperature just rocketed! Hope you had a successful day. And just look at that cute little creature! Hard to imagine how something that small could turn your life upside down!

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...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
