continued.....

my cheeky monkies looking up through the hole in my ceiling
so many broken very old slates, slice your fingers to shreddies.
nearly there
nearly there, have you ever had deja vu
Jasmine also took some great pictures of the sunset on sunday, she was the official photographer as I didn't want her to do too much as you can probably imagine. Having said that we couldn't have done it without her and she and I are going for a mummy and daughter day out soon as a thank you.
yes it was dark by the time we finished at 8pm!
Will pop another picture on soon of the large green tarpaulin that is adorning our house.
hugs to you all

what a mess!!!

Here I am again, sorry I haven't been around much this last few days, we have been demolishing our old roof, in anticipation of the new one. What a job!

Here are some piccies, cos I know you all love piccies.

The roof that is completed was the extension we put on the house first.
Daughter and hubby
This is the piles of wood etc from when we took the inside of the roof out the weekend before last, the bulging blue tarp attached to our wood shed is holding back dozens of bags of old plaster board and insulation.
Small hole in my living room ceiling hmmm?!
Hole got bigger when hubby put his foot in it Hmmmm?!!
Will Resting!
a beautiful piece of fronding on a sarking board (not sure if I spelt that right) but had to find something aesthetic out of the whole experience.
OK will have to continue in the next post as blogger will not let me put on any more photographs
:-(

Back in a mo

Squiggles Challenge - Birthday Bash

Its time for another challenge at Squiggles. This one is a real easy and lots of fun one!  Its a Birthday Bash.  A £15 Voucher is up for grabs and the new release of the jessabelles is out now.
These are brilliant! Watch this space for some projects that I am working on at the moment with these fun female images;}
Here is my inspiration for the start of the challenge, more to follow hehe, went a bit mad with the birthday bash challenge as march really does turn me into a mad march hare!! I have loads of birthdays to make for, yippee!!

Here is a card that I have made for my daughter and yes you have probably guessed it is for one of my August daughters.  This is one of Evalina Wikbergs Squiggles images, she's perfect for my eldest.

Coloured with promarkers and whispers pens.  Handmade flowers and some freebie papers. Also a button, die cuts, paper flowers, the calendar from tlc creations and used my friend Jennys punch for the frame.


Here we have Toot Toot!  One of the earlier squiggles images, and such fun to play with, so good for those boys cards. I mean the  'party on dude' phrase was made for this little guy.
He is available for the duration of the challenge as a freebie, so why not pop over to the squiggles store right now and grab him for free. Then you could make a project with him to share with us for the Birthday Bash Challenge.  Of course while you are there don't forget to check out our newest release the 'Jessabelles'.

Hmmm might have gone a little overboard on the photos.  Coloured with my promarkers and then glittered with stickles. This is snow fae from Sweet pea stamps.

Yet again, I am afraid that I have used my flower punch, funny how you go through phases with certain tools. I added gems, pearl drops and pearls.

Seeing Through

Gorgeous Sweet pea stamp, coloured with my promarkers and whispers pens and mounted onto a spellbinder die that has been embossed and then I have threaded white fibres through the wee triangle holes around its edge.

I have used my xcut punch for the flowers which I cut from scraps and I have accentuated them using pearls, gems, flower gems and glitter.
