Etsy Retreat

Can't believe it's been a week and a half since I set of to York and the Uk etsy retreat. Overcoming my fear/dislike of travelling was the first hurdle so I was much relieved to find my way to Kings X and met up with reform aka Tricia, charlottenarunsky aka Charlotte and Dichotomy aka Bronwyn . Collected Gillian on the way somehow. Collected at York station by the wonderful Debbie
who was responsible for us all being there.There ensued a wonderful weekend of crafting ,chat,laughing etc. The facilities at the school were superb.Lucky girls that go there! I really hope it happens next year as now I know what is there I have ideas of what I would like to do. Tried a few new things although my screen printing on Sunday morning was hampered by me feeing decidedly unwell.

Happy Valentines Day

Yes it's that day again
Hubby didn't really appreciated the pill organiser that I bought him but I think it showed that I care.I did also buy him a Cd of the radios shows of Count Arthur Strong who is not to my taste at all so that shows I love him.

I have also got round to finishing my dolls.There is a Geisha ,Pierrott and Pierette.Great tutor down at Southend ,Julie Topsfield.Have also finished the sketchbook course under the equally great tutoring of Tricia North aka reform No finished product from that yet but lots of ideas and new directions to work on.


Have been thinking a lot of an old school friend who lost her husband last week.Very sad.



On the creative front I have made a few more badges.
