Mmmmm…lost track of the time!

Hi all, sorry I didn’t get back here as promised. There’s something about being here at Mama’s house that makes me feel like I’m seriously on holidays and I just potter around and loose track of the days. Not a very good excuse I’m afraid, but it will have to do!

So, here’s the promised project made by Mama with the *Down Under* set “Bloom Away”. It has 3 lovely native flower images that are just gorgeous and it’s in my plans to have a play with it myself real soon. Anyway, here it is:

She stamped them onto watercolour paper and coloured them with an aqua painter and ink from the lids of the ink pads. She then mounted it onto some Certainly Celery DSP and then popped it into this nice plain black frame….doesn’t it look lovely??? It’s in the kitchen sitting on the very old and beautiful dresser that belonged to her grandmother and which will one day be MINE!!!! LOL.

Anyway, I’ve really been enjoying being home and away from Sydney. A trip downtown yesterday to do some shopping really reinforced the difference between here and Sydney. The bus driver remembers me from when I lived here before and had a nice chat with me. All the shop assistants are friendly and on the bus on the way home there was a group of ladies all chatting away with one another and there was one that I knew who caught me up on some ex-boyfriend gossip of enormous proportion. Things like that just don’t happen in the big city!!!!

OK, I better go do some more nothing….I tidied Mama’s craft area yesterday, so now I know where everything is and have a bit more room to spread out I might even make something!
