Hello friends,
I'm blogging remotely today from a mix of my phone, iPad and
glasses that could do with being a lot stronger!
So here goes...fingers crossed.
This weekend I'm in St Ives, Cambridgeshire for a retreat,
I booked this some time ago through Craft Box and I admit to being a little scared!
This is not my sort of clean crafting but I decided I needed to step out of
my little comfy box of clean and neat.
I'm about to embark on day 2 and I couldn't be happier,
I am totally absorbed in this 'messy craft' and so far only got through
one pack of baby wipes!
If you scroll down you,ll see the canvas I made yesterday,
I'm going to post step step photos hopefully tomorrow (if this post works!)
In between here's photos of St Ives taken this morning 7.30am
when I went for a walk, all unedited, it is a gorgeous place.
And it appears I can still incorporate butterflies and flowers!
My mind is racing now how this will work with dies and foiling, watch this space!
Take care friends, wishing you a perfect Sunday.
