Where Have We Been…..Part Two…

Posted on May 18, 2013

….just when you thought that it was safe to blog….. Afternoon all! Well as usual, a day went by and I didn’t get everything finished…..er including Part Two of ‘War and Craft.’  Anyway, here I am with the concluding part of this marathon tale of daring craft and falling trees……Totally bodice ripping stuff, I can tell ye!……Well pinny ripping anyway! So!….where did I leave off then??…..Ah yes…that Blo-dy tree.  Well it is three weeks down the line now, and I still suffer nightmares. Reet then, onward and upward we go.  Firstly, I can’t tell you how exited The Boss is at what will be coming your way in the…

Where Have We Been???…..

Posted on May 16, 2013

…..And what have we been up to???? Evening All! Well,  its been so long since these itching little digits of mine have graced the bloggery, that I almost forgot how to start.  Yes Folks!….its actually me….I have returned after what seems like weeks…………In fact it is weeks….almost five to be exact, so once again I find myself catching up with all of the news from Douglass Towers.  There’s rather a lot to report, so you’d better get the kettle on and a pile of bickies, ‘cos this is gonna take some time.  I have workshops, new goodies, a fallen tree, cars and plenty of news…………….and yes!… I did say a fallen…

Ravensworth Ahoy!!

Posted on April 12, 2013

Afternoon all! Well there’s yet another week gone in a flash, as we head into a weekend of research, development and the first of the two Ravensworth Workshops for this Spring.  Then, as if that wasn’t enough, The Boss will be hot footing…….OK hot tyreing down to C&C next week for another day of arty shows, this time on Thursday the 18th.  This will feature the ‘Angel’ set of stamps, and all of the crafty goodies that go along with them. Now you can pop over to The Gallery for a host of ideas and techniques, but just for today, I will show a peek from the gallery, until Our Hero gets some new ones finished…. …How…

Hey Thang Ewe!!

Posted on April 8, 2013

Evening fans! Yes, just as I thought, me birthday creation has hit home, with me being unable to leave the safety of Douglass Towers without being mobbed by hosts of screaming crafters.  Now I know how Tom Jones feels, ‘cos I even had a young lady throw her samples my way ( No pun intended ) yesterday at Port Sunlight.  Even The Boss fills up when she looks at the card, which is great praise indeed. Anyway, as usual, the Port Sunlight workshop was fantastic.  This place is so pretty to walk around, and only a couple of miles from loads of industrial units……But you would never know. There we all were, in the old school…

Happy Birthday to Yooooooo!

Posted on April 6, 2013

Afternoon all! ….and welcome to Sheenie’s birthday.  Now I have been reliably informed by my cousin, that Sheena is NOT 59 today, and apparently I can take ten years off that……Well how was I supposed to know???  Anyway, good job that I waited until this morning to finish my very own, hand made, card for our hero….. ….and here it is…. As you can see, I have watched and learned a lot from The Boss, and have used a host of new products in the creation of this miracle of card making….. …beginning with her new age printed out in feathers from the ‘Falling Feathers’ stamp set.  Then I have skillfully coloured…

Fish And Chips On Their Way….

Posted on April 5, 2013

Evening all! I have just gone through my last few posts and have detected a definite lean towards a foody theme…Easter eggs….then more eggs, and now Fish and Chips.  Well it is friday after all, and I do enjoy a good battering of cod.  In other news, I have been hard at work finalising all of the prep and stock for sundays Port Sunlight workshop, while The Boss has been completing some new stamps.  No wonder this week has vanished into thin air….We have never stopped.  However, I did take an hour or two off last night to watch the mighty Toon in action in Portugal.  Er, actually ‘in action’ might not quite be the phrase I am…

All The Eggies Have Gone!!!! Sigh!

Posted on April 4, 2013

Morning all. THURSDAY??  Where the h-ll has this week gone to??  I even missed the WOYWW.  These Bank Holidays really need to be stopped, ‘cos they mess with me heed too much……..I’m going to get a letter of to the PM about it today….That’ll put a stop to them……….Only joking…He He He!  ( Nervy little laugh there ) Anyway, where have I been over the past few days……..Just about everywhere, man!  The Sheena-mobile search is still on-going, but we have one or two narrowed down now, so its nearly time for test drives and colours.  While The Boss has been hard at the drawing table, I have almost edited down the vids,…

Easter Eggs At The Ready….

Posted on March 29, 2013

Afternoon everyone!…. ….and Happy Easter to one and all.  Well I have just seen off The Boss on her way down to C&C for tomorrows shows.  The car resembles a mobile Art Gallery, what with all of the framed arty bits and pictures, as well as some interesting box decoration.  The Arkansas Chuggabug is back, but we didn’t want to risk it on such a long journey, so Sheena stuck a pin into a list of cars, and hit a Vauxhall Astra, so that is what she is driving down in today.  One thing for sure, hiring a car is a good way to see if it works for you before you get one, so we will be trying one or two more in the next week or two,…

A Summery Themed Sneaky Peek

Posted on March 28, 2013

Afternoon all! I have taken a little bit of time to have another go at this blog thing.  Russ gave me a shout at 1, with a very well made ham and tomato sarnie and some velvet muffin cake.  He said that he had made the cake as well, but the massive Costco price sticker kind of gave the game away just a little.  So before I head back into my craft room, I thought that I would be the one to pick today’s sneaky peek.  I have had such a great few weeks with these new products, and now that I am rid of most of my medication, I can actually remember most of what I have been doing every day.  As well as these new arty products, I have been…

Evening all!… ….and what an evening, nay day it has been.  Talk about gettin stuck in!  We were both into Mission Control at 7.45 this morning, powering away at this weekend’s shows.  Now before I start, can I make an amendment to the show times for saturday…..

And so, on we go to this weeks WOYWW desk visit. Now…
