My Moleskine pics so far

 So, after a shopping trip to the Range, Hobbycraft and few purchases on Ebay I am up and inking......

This is the first art journal I have made so who better than Kirsty Wiseman to lead us all through it.

The pages are quite personal and will include hidden tags with more meaningful journalling on them,

I haven't made those yet as I am still having fun making my pages

and this is my journey through journal land so far

There are still some things that I will add and amend

but so far I am REALLY enjoying myself 

and this creative journey!!

I love it and hope you do too! For more info pop over to Kirsty's blog, I think she still has some kits for sale over there.

Sunday!

So, the adventure car is home, the twins are home and I have had a lovely day at home ! The sun was shining, well it was this morning anyway, and I have been a productive little bunny!!

After a nice lie-in I set to in the garden and pruned my hedges and reclaimed about 4 foot back on my little patio!! It took about three hours but I managed to fill three bin bags with rubbish and after a good old sweep and re-arrange I sat down and enjoyed the sun - just in time for it to go in!!!

I did some washing, sorted out some online stuff and have completed three pages of my Me in my Moleskine jounal - pics to follow later.

I did not manage to attack any of the HUGE pile of ironing, but I did put some other washing away and generally had a tidy up round my flat! Of course now, in the midst of my creative inkyness the lounge looks like a bomb has gone off in my Zone - oops!

Oh bugger - is it really Monday again already?

Feelin' blue

I don't know what's wrong with me at the moment, am feeling decidedly down and don't know why or what to do???  Work is ok, no probs there, the adventure car is back on the road - just have to go and collect it at the weekend, but I am missing the twins and it's lonely here without them!!!

Nothing much to report, am signed up on Queen Kirsty Wiseman's Me in my Moleskin class and although I missed most of the class last night and don't have any yummy spray inks to play with I am looking forward to getting stuck in with it - I do think it will have lots of very personal comments in it and they may make me cry!! I am looking forward to getting messy  with paints and techniques though!!?

Odd LO today - never understood why there is a tourist info box at Crown Court - I mean who goes there on a day trip?? Makes me giggle every time I see it!!

Life's laundry!

Yesterday Grannywen and I went out to lunch. It was a bit of a magical mystery tour as she didn't have a clue as to what or where we were going! To be fair, I only had a half a clue as I needed to drive us there without a map so that she didn't suss it out!

We arrived at the Mill at Gordleton and it was fabulous and magical to say the least, but more of that in another post!

I returned home last night on the train, along with all the great unwashed but am now enjoying some sunshine before heading off into work this afternoon. No washing to hang out today as I didn't get up early enough but this LO shows a regular feature on my patio!

Not sure what my neighbours think when they see this as they don't  actually know who lives with me???

Hopefully Grannywen will have managed to convey Barney back to the vet this morning for his second injection, she can't really tell the twins apart. Hopefully it's not Fred who went??  The vet suggested marking him up with nail polish which I grudgingly agreed to,  and he was duly splodged with pink, but by the next day it had all come off so watch this space as to who went???? Amazingly, after his first visit on Friday his funny sniffle seemed to disappear so fingers crossed all is well.

Squirrels on Saturday and other tails

Hello peeps! How did it get to be Saturday again so soon?

I think this week passed in a blur of work (just for a change) and now here I am at Grannywen's in what is turning into a very expensive weekend!!

Yesterday was Grannywen's birthday so the the twins and I set off very early in the morning so we had time for an M3 Starbucks coffee and a trip to the flower shop. They weren't very impressed being bundled into the car at 0630 I can tell you! 

We arrived in good time and then due to recent snuffles from Barney's nose I decided a trip to the vet would be in order. An injection and some scratches later, the twins weekend has just turned into a two week visit with granny for some follow up visits to the vet!!

Then the adventure mobile had to go for her MOT, and this has lead to more ££££'s as she failed on a couple of things and so her weekend has now also turned into a longer stay with granny whilst Papajohn works his mechanic magic!!!

In the meantime I sat in the conservatory and indulged in my favourite FREE pastime - photographing the wildlife! There's plenty to see in the back garden but the little squiggles are by far my favourite.

 There were two, a boy and a girl and they were both very agile and determined to eat the birds nuts!  Unlike me - agile is not a word I would use to describe myself, but as you can see from todays LO - I am trying!!!

Then after a lovely meal out to celebrate Grannywens birthday it was time for bed!

Rain rain go away

Guess what? 

It was sunny all day today, right up the time it came for me to cycle home and then it chucked it down!!

Typical!!

Typical Wimbledon weather wouldn't you say?

So, the weekend was ok, a few bits to do but nothing that led to overtime or late nights thank goodness. This week is busy with appointments for me but at least I finish on Thursday so only a short week - hurrah! Then I am off to Grannywens for the weekend and am hoping for some sunshine and at least one dry day to check out my tent and the pole situation?

Another LO I forgot to share from last Septembers riding trip to Wales, the weather was somewhat similar that weekend too, sun and rain, oh well it didn't spoil my fun!!

Just popping by to say hullo

Hello all, how are you this weekend? Is it still raining with you or have you escaped it for a few hours?
Its been a mixed bag of weather here in London, obviously only choosing to pelt it down each time I had to step outdoors, so I decided not to venture out but to sit and watch several hours of CCTV instead!
Fun huh?
No, not really!  :(
It's amazing how your eyes begin to boggle when watching it - doesn't happen when I stare at a film for an hour or two - odd that!
I have found a couple of LO's that I seem to have forgotten to share with you, this one about the chums hanging off my camera bag who travel the world with me. There should be a little dog from Hungary but his string fell off so he sits in the Zone and scraps with me instead!!
There are two little chaps hiding under the Zone as we speak, but I can hear ripping and tearing paper so I'd better go and rescue my stash before the twins fashion some special ratty ripped paper embellishments for me???
catch up with you soon
