Crafty Happenings....

 
I haven't been to a crop for a while, I think it was June when I went last, so I was looking forward to a little crafty play at the weekend just gone... My daughter came to help me but I think I spent more time helping her oh and some how she managed to spend my money too lol .... I did have a quick play in my art journal (and it was quick, you can tell), on this background, (the face was something I had drawn before my op) it's still a work in progress.... it's a layer down...
 


Something else I haven't done for a while is made some ATC's so I have joined an ATC swap on Uks, here is a sneeky peek at my ATC's, they are a little simple but with my hand not playing properly yet I am quite pleased with them.... The background is something new for me using a highlighter pen and Distress inks and then some stamp'd images... hope the girls will like them....

 
I was hoping to have a play in a Cj I'm working on today but have woke up with a very sore hand, pain relief required, think the weekend's crafty play and the few house chores I have done have taken toll on me.... It's just the background I need to work on, planned on doing some hand drawings/doodles but holding the pen is not good will see how I feel a little later... so want to get it finished as I'm the last person to do an entry and then it is home....

Lets get MESSY....

 
OMG I haven't blogg'd since June (I've not been a very good blogger of late SORRY!!!!)..... Life has been a little hectic, and I have just had surgery on my wrist just over two weeks ago now, still a little sore but getting there.....I have found it very hard to be the patient as I'm usually the one to be looking after everyone else.... So I'm just starting to do a few thing's, looking forward to crafting again (tomorrow at a crop)....
 
 
So Lets Get Messy!!!
 
Before my op I decided to join another Cj, this one is an Art journaling one... Something I haven't done as a Cj before but have dabbled and thought this might be quite fun... This is my Journal I made (before the op)...   
 


The Cover I have just left plain at the moment (not sure what to do with it to be honest).

I covered chip board with some leather and stitched the edges and used a Coptic stitch to bind my signatures.... Sorry I've loaded the photos back to front.... long time since I have done this :D
