The smell wafting from the kitchen this morning is lovely. I've popped on a big pot of ham hock and vege soup for the weekend and the slow cooker is dealing with our dinner - beef bourguignon - that will not only feed us tonight but will fill a couple of containers for the freezer for Mark to take to work.
I took a photo of the board I made for my office. I think I've mentioned before my enthusiasm far exceeds my expertise when it comes to craft but I'm happy with how it turned out and how it looks in the room. The board was one I had, the red ribbon was in my scrap box and the material was 1/2 price at Spotlight. I had in my mind this exact print and was bowled over when I saw it in the shop. Score!!!
I have another little project on the boil, something I saw on Pinterest, another favourite site. Will post the finished product in a day or too.
I tend to fossick about with craft in the winter months; usually a new one each season. I'm nothing if not adventurous. :) I've been inspired to get my painting supplies out again after seeing an advert for a show by my evidently quite well -known cousin in America. I've checked out his work on the Internet - wow it's beautiful - I so wish I had inherited his talent. The creative gene seems to be alive and well in a lot of our family. It's funny isn't though; we don't always appreciate the ones we ourselves have been given. I'm in awe of talented artists of all kinds and though am absolutely not in the league of said cousin, I will continue to splodge my offerings because I simply enjoy every minute of it. :)
