Playing around with paper, images & texture.....

So the first signs of spring seem to be around.... the birds are both active & noisy around our garden lately... the crocuses are bursting with pride in the sunshine, & it's so nice to take Alfie for a walk, without us both coming home completely covered in mud..!!
& here are.... some new things I've been playing around with lately, covered note book & cards...

Some springy bits & bobs...........

Errrrrrrr..........................

So who's feeling very sorry for herself.............!?

Yep that'll be me then, suffering a real heavy cold, & feeling really very sorry for myself... including pangs of guilt, being a self employed hairdresser, it's not a good thing when you're unwell, think of all that catching up there is to do.....so sorry clients...

Negatives:
Alfie looking up at me, bored & sad
A red, dry cracked nose, not a good look, & valentines is only days away..!!
Thousands of tissues scattered about
Husband comes home from work, & I burst into tears
House looks a tip
Hair floppy, dull & lifeless, including me...
Loads of time off, but feel, as limp as a wet rag

Positives:
Wrapped up in a duvet watching...
Phil & Fern well, no one calls it 'this morning' any more do they?
Loose women keep up the good work girls, you make me laugh out loud
Husband bringing me home, March's copy of CL
'O' happy days..............

Wise words from Oprah........

After we walked Alfie...

We ate hot soup, & crusty brown bread, lite the wood burner, drank hot chocolate, then of course I did a little light crafting, by the way photo of Alfie with his tongue stuck out catching the snow flakes makes me smile...

& we had cake.....

Spent some lovely time with friend of mine today at lunch, chunky brown bread eggy sarnies, & we had room for cake... life doesn't get any better than this... right...?

Creative moments.....

Up date on Alfie....
