Tag Time...

 

Morning All,

Well what a weird weekend we are having. It was heavy snow here last night. It was lovely and warm in the morning and I didn't need a jacket on for my dog walk!!! Strange weather. 

I got a wee bundle of items from Ebay the other day and there were some tags in it. I thought I would have a play and make a tag. 

Before I make a tag in the future though I will plan my image much better. I wanted a bee for Tag Tuesday and thought I had the perfect bee but it turned out to be a giant killer bee that filled the tag!! Ooops!!!

Thanks for dropping by today, I am almost finished painting the bathroom now!! Hurray!! I have been pacing myself and its so frustrating as I would love to just do it all in one day but I know if I do that I end up feeling really ill for weeks. I think thats progress though as before I would have just rushed though it. 

Stay Safe Folks,

Harry's Portrait...

 

Morning Everyone,

Phew I made it!!! Only just!!! I wanted to get Harrys portrait finished for today so I could share it over at Paint Party Friday. I just managed last night. I just need to frame it now and pop it up with the one I did of Belle. Although I now love this more more. Here is the Belle one in this post. 

I ended up doing lots of painting this week but not of the lovely pretty on paper type. This week was doors and skirting boards!!! Booo!!! Now onto the ceiling and walls!!! My wee lets sort the door hinge in the bathroom has turned into a lets revamp and decorate the bathroom!!! Ooops. 

Doing Harrys portrait has been a nice respite from the decorating. Although all our bathroom stuff is in the crafty room!! 

I loved doing the portrait. I was sort of following one of Colin Bradleys pastel pencil course. Although it was a different looking kitty he coloured and he only used 6 pencils. I ended up using a lot more as Harry has quite the mix of colours in his fur. He even has some bits that are 2 tone. I couldn't work out how to do his whiskers as they are even 2 tone. The tips are white and the bases are black. My colours arent exactly the same as his as I just didnt have enough pencils or know how to get it perfect. So its a homage to Harry. 

Im now off to repaint the ceiling in the loo. Argh!!! Its going white from a magnolia colour so lots of coats of paint to hide the shining though cream!! 

Stay Safe and have a lovely weekend whatever your up too,

Love and Sparkles,

Hazel xx

Santa Week 2

 

Morning Everyone,

WOW Going by the weather you would think it was going to be Christmas soon!!! Its freezing and there has been snow the last couple of days. It didnt lie but there has been a few flurries. 

Im here with my inspiration for Fezziwigs Challenge this fortnight. 

I would love to see your Santas.

Here is my second make. Its a stamp I bought on Ebay ages ago. Think its a fair few years old. Its a Buzzcraft Bear Essentials one. I loved the way that they were coloured on the packet so I decided to try and do something similar.

Thats all from me for today. I will hopefully be back Friday with more of my kitty portrait. Its been a bit more difficult that I thought it would as Harrys fur is quite a mix of colours.

Paint Party Friday...

 

Morning,

Hope all is well with you today. 

Im here today with the first peek at my latest drawing. 

Its a wee pastel work of Harry. Its to go with Belles one that I did last year. Its here. 

I tried to get Harry to pose so I could get his markings right but he was having none of it so Im going to try again over the weekend. 

Its meant to be quite cold on Sunday so the plan is to get some of it done then. 

Today is the first day of stay local instead of stay at home here in Scotland. Im getting my haircut next week for the first time in 5 months. Its badly needing done so will be happy to see the hairdresser. 

Stay Safe wherever you are.

 Have a Happy Easter Weekend if you celebrate it,

Love and Sparkles,

Paint Party Friday with my make. 

2 Makes...

 Afternoon from a very warm East Coast of Scotland!!

 Its been a beautiful day here. Ive done a wee drop of weeding and pottering in the garden. Then I came in to rest and made a couple of matching cards. 

I got some Prisma Colour Inks the other week and so have been playing a bit seeing what colour blends I can come up with. I wanted to try a monochrome make. Then I went for a much more zingy colour scheme. I like it better. 

Not sure if you can see the sparkle on the Dragonfly. Its so difficult to catch it in the light at times.

I hope are all all looking forward to the long weekend. Its our school holidays after Tom comes back at noon tomorrow. Hoping the weather stays really nice so I can get up to date in the garden. The grass was only cut last week and it looks like it could do with being cut again!!!

Thanks for dropping by today. I hope your all doing well. I have been trying to do some stuff in the garden. Its been very mild here but there has been a lot of wind. Least its not been raining. Although there are some jobs in the house to do too. You want to be outside just now though as we have all been cooped up so long with the lockdown here this time.

Favourite Festive Stamps Week 2...

 

Good Morning Everyone,

I swear the week go faster and faster here!!! I cant beleive its time for another Fezziwigs Creation.

This fortnight I wanted to see your Favourite Stamp makes.

Well I couldn't not have a Lindsay Mason stamp as one of my favs. I have so many of her stamps and this festive Snowman is stunning!!! Hes a simple stamp so I decided not to embellish the card and I just did doodles to match the markings on the stamp.

Things are slightly more normal here. Tom is off to school in the mornings for 3 hours. He has a subject a day. The classes are being split so there's only a small number in each room. 

Hope you are all doing ok,

I posted it up to their house yesterday with Jakes card for her too (Mum Free Card shop once again!!!) 10 minutes later Jake called and he has to come down here this week as he has a dental issue than requires treatment so he could have collected them here at a distance!! Think he will come and get her presents though. We can see him from a distance in the garden although I hope its not as cold as it is today as its turned back to winter!!! 

Hope you are all doing ok, sending hugs,

Love and Sparkles,
