I have been so busy of late, Michael and do try to get up to our little bungalow in Ovingham as much as we can before it gets too cold.
So once we get there Michael gets the coal cooker on with lots of logs and coal and if it is very coal we also put the lounge coal fire on, so when we are ready to sit down and relax we are also nice and warm.
I did a lovely workshop in Hexham at a new craft shop called Jester crafts (at the back of Beales, which was Robbs) it was showing how to use the new pastels, what a lovely time I had very relaxing, I came away with 4 lovely ideas on card, so will be using them alot more, I will also try them on my eggs.
We attended The Egg Crafters Guild of Great Britain convention in York, of which I am Founder and Life Member, we had a great day with many members chatting about eggs and old times, as I was judging the competition eggs with two other Judges we got a very close look at all the beautiful eggs both on the members table and the competition.
There were some very interesting exhibits and many ideas never seen before, when I get the photos back I will post some on my blog.
We do enjoy visiting York for our conventions as there is so much to see in the area.
I have also been busy making more Christmas cards, on was made using some pop up type of dies which I bought but found I could not use them as they we stuck onto a large sheet of plastic, I do not know which die cutting machine they are for, anyway, I managed to peal the die off the plastic, with great care. I can now use them in my cuttle bug and Ebosser.
I will take some photos and post them for all to see.Until then happy crafting to every one.
