Hello friends
Firstly congratulations to Chris from Norfolk
who is the August Charity Kit winner - start to stalk your postman!
Also Pat asked yesterday what die created the pointed circle on the card, that is all
part of the Exquisite Circles die - there is 6 in the set and assorted circular shapes.
I've just sold my last one of these but always drop me an email and
I can order them in.
So did you all have a nice Sunday?
This is what I did.... (not craft related at all!)
With the help of Mitchell and my nephew James we laid a new greenhouse base for my
parents. Dad had planned to do this before his accident and as he now needs to take
a while to recover and rest we wanted to get it done.
I discovered that I really liked laying block paving!
I'm rather impressed for a first attempt -
it doesn't wobble when you walk on it either!
Everything was overseen by the building inspector...
And there was a real sense of satisfaction when it was done.
Stop by tomorrow - it is definitely craft, Tuesday Tip/Technique.
Can it really be September already?!
Take care friends.

Hi know what you mean about enjoying such a task as I used to before my hands became less flexible. Looks like great weather down your way.

Morning Christine
Congratulations to Chris on winning the August Charity kit raffle.
Is paving going to be a new career then Christine? It looks very professional, my patio is looking rather tatty if you would like to travel north!! I suppose it could be classed as a craft. The weather looks wonderful - not like here - it was wet and murky for most of the day.
Enjoy your day, it's my first day back at work today. Hopefully it won't be too stressfull.

If the weather stays nice, your Dad will be able to potter in the greenhouse. The "building inspector" looks exhausted-lovely oic of Bella.

Hi Christine. It looks like you did a great job, well done. I hope you're not too achy today though!(I bet your poor Dad was itching to help though, bless him. I do hope he is recovering well, please give him my best wishes) At least he will be able to get the new greenhouse organised once it's up. Bella looks so sweet. Have a good day. Take care.
Hello Christine
They say if you want something done .....ask a busy woman!

Good morning Christine,
I had a lovely surprise yesterday when I found that I had the winning ticket, thank you so much.
Gosh what a busy girl you were yesterday, I hope it's not a career change and lovely Bella looking on is adorable. I bet your Dad will be chuffed and hope he is making a speedy recovery.

Well done you. No easy thing to lay them straight.
Love the photo of Bella. She looks as though she's paciently waiting for you all to finish so you can play with her.

A good job Christine, if it's not classed as 'craft' it certainly has a design element. I am sure you dad will be pleased with the result. I hope he is on the mend. Anne x

Hi Christine
Thanks for letting me know that the die was in the set. Must have a look at the set.
Looks like you did a good job laying the bricks, are you branching out now?. Hope you dad is feeling better now, and I hope the supervisor wasn't to hard on you.
Hello Christine, well we know who to call if we need a bit of paving done. Bella says it was a really professional job! xxMargaretxx

Congratulations to Chris.
