All you crafters are safe......

From what you may ask? Competition!

The other day I decided to make myself a little business card holder as not only do I have cards, but I have some in respect of Jim's photography business which I am a part of. So I decided to pick some felt and make a holder for them. And here it is (no sniggering please)....

If you are a whizz with felt and needlecraft then please forgive my feeble attempt. However, no matter how it turns out I really do enjoy the process. I love being creative full stop.....even if it does look like something I did at school.

Anyway, it does the job, is mine and there is not another one like it :o)

It's almost the weekend which I am very happy about. Although Easter is an emotional time for me as my Dad passed away over the Easter weekend three years ago, it will be nice to have some time off the daily grind and be with my family and friends.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend and that the weather is like it was last week (if only).

March highlights and an unfortunate lowlight!

March has been and gone! It is scary how quickly we will the winter to pass (and what a winter it has been) and we are now heading into Spring - I say heading as Scotland and Ireland have had the most awful snow!

Here are some of my highlights and lowlights from the month:

Finding the brilliant Hipstamatic app for the iPhone - this is great and you can get some really cool pictures using it!

Realising just how many art materials I have - finding things I haven't used in ages and admiring all the paints and paper.

St Patricks Day and seeing all the people dressed up as they visit bars in London as I am on my way home from work.

Finding Jim's old ID cards and having a giggle at his 80's hair!

Losing my car in an accident!

I love taking a photo-a-day as it is a photographic diary of your life and sometimes we forget the good and remember the bad. So even though I lost my car, I found loads of art stuff, a new iPhone app, Jims old ID cards and I learned how not to take a picture of random strangers drinking outside a pub!

Have a great Easter everyone and here's to a wonderful April.
