Is it just me?

Blogger is trying my patience today!

It has taken me nearly an hour to get logged in because it kept telling me that my account didn't exist! So I must have imagined writing a post here yesterday then....

Anyway, I'm in now, best make a post then.

I havn't had chance to do any art today as  Daughter-of-mine 1 had an Athletics Training session at Sportcity in Manchester. Husband-of-mine stayed with her while I took D-of-mine 2 into the city centre on the new tram route. It's still sale time so we managed to pick up a few arty bargains. D-of mine-2 loves her Art as well. She has taken to Art Journaling really well and has an Art corner in her room where she sits and creates for hours at a time. It's wonderful to know at least one of my kidlets has a passion for Art.


So, as I havn't made anything new today, here's some pics of some of my past pages. These were planned a bit more than the ones I showed yesterday.





There SHOULD be three, but only this one seems to have uploaded from my phone - 3 TIMES!!!!! Technology really is out to get me at the moment it seems.


Lets just hope I can get back in here tomorrow so I can try again........

Still here!



I said I would be back didn't I!
I have finally finished a cross stitch picture! I finished my David Tennant one last night. Here's a pic of it if you want to see.
I have also been buying again. Yesterday I found some cross stitch kits in a charity shop in town. It's not like I really needed them but it's not often I see Winnie the Pooh kits and they are soo damn expensive to buy 'new'. And I get a feel good from giving money to a charity close to my heart. Cancer Research.
Today I went with the kids to a local christmas craft fair, just to check out what others are making and what sort of prices they were asking, not expecting to find craft goods for sale. There was one lady selling off odd bits of things that she no longer wanted, so of course I just had to help her get rid of some of her excess stash. It was the friendly thing to do, wasn't it?
I got a doll stamp for £3 and 2 paint markers for 20p each. Also, 2 scrapbook kits for 50p each. Well, I thought I got a very good deal there, don't you?
Please forgive me if these pictures look odd or are in a strange place. I am new to posting pics and really i'm a bit of a tech numpty (but I refuse to ask the teenager). I will learn as I go. A couple of years ago, I couldn't even turn a bloody computer on, and now I e-mail and blog!
Hark at her!!!!!
