A quick catch up .....

Hi there ....... Happy Thursday!

It's almost the weekend!
I hope you're enjoying your week, it's been a bit of a busy one here.
One day out and about in the south of the island with a friend which was lovely.  The little man has been here for a couple of days ...... always fun.  I've been moving furniture around, not the craft room this time, although I did think about it!! AND ...... the motorhome is all clean and ready to go again, not that we're going anywhere this weekend, the weather doesn't look too good.  We have Storm Ellen heading our way I believe.  Its getting a little breezy, but we do still have blue skies at the moment so it's not all bad.

I'm also catching up with crafty stuff, Design Team bits and bobs, and online workshops, so I've been in the craft room quite a bit this week ....... yeah!

Here's the finished mandala ....... loved doing this, so I have started another one!

Another of Tracy Scott's fabulous workshops on Facebook ..... this one was Adornment

How handsome is he!!!  I wasn't sure about the face when I started off, he looked a bit feminine, but once all the shading was done and the colour from his head-dress was there, I'm happy with the result.

I do love these Facebook workshops .... doing them live is fun but, if for whatever reason you can't make it live then the videos are always in the group, so you can just go back in and do them when it's more convenient. 
There's been one this week with Tracy (it's Day 4 today!) and all I've done so far is watch a little bit of each days video ..... I've a lot of catching up to do with that one!

OK, so it had to happen eventually ..... time to start thinking about, dare I say it ..........Christmas!!
If you're like me and still looking for festive inspiration well, next week on Hochanda Lucy is back with Sweet Poppy Stencils and there are a couple of beautiful, new festive designs.

Here's a quick look at some of my samples done for the shows ..........

There'll be a nice mix of Christmas and everyday designs ..... something for everyone.
I am loving the new bauble by the way ....... so many ways to use it!

I'll be back with a closer look at all these over the course of next week.

Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your day.

Cheerio until next time .......
