WOYWW 266 - A change of space

I'm off shift today and so spent a good part of it making cards for a bunch of important women in my life. It was too hot to work in my room so I took over the dining table for the afternoon.

 I took a few of my most important tools downstairs and got busy.

The cards are mostly made with Graphic45 papers although the card shown at top left is from a Craftwork Cards range.

The Return of the Local Tourist

Over on my old blog I did a series of posts under the label of Local Tourist my idea being that I would visit those places that we tend to forget about because they are nearby but that strangers to the area would visit and after today I can announce that I am planning to carry that idea on over here.

Today I went to a Medieval Fair at Shropshire Lavender Farm and it was really good. It was only a couple of miles from home and although the weather didn't look that promising I decided to give it a go as an opportunity to get my camera out.



 There was lots to see on the living history field and every time I walked around I spotted something new.

The displays were great.
 The live combat was really thrilling and there was some groaning from the audience as some of the weapons hit their targets.

My favourite part was the falconry display though.
And I even managed to catch a couple of good shots of the birds in flight as with this one of the beautiful barn owl.

WOYWW 265 - Sweet!

This week has been full of surprises yet again and there is little action on my desk this week. Because I started a new job yesterday! The last two weeks have been hellish an unplanned holiday due to my previous job coming to a sudden and unexpected end and I was so over it so the new job came along at just the right time. It's only been two days but so far so good.

But back to the reason for this post my desk.
This is the result of last night's craft club a fun LO and and a pretty card. Under the LO is a pile of Graphic45 papers that I bought at club and I intend to make cards with them - fingers crossed I will feel so inspired.

Next a slightly better look at the LO. It still needs a little work but it is almost there.

The photo is a teasing selfie I took the other sunday at a local ice cream farm - yummy! The papers are from another Kaisercraft range 'Spring Bloom'
