Good morning, everyone! I guess I've been MIA again! I don't seem to have the motivation to craft...or do anything to be honest, this last fortnight! We've had a lot going in in our home life and head space seems to be at a premium at the moment! I need to try and manage my time a little better as I feel as if I have just been wandering around, a little lost, these last two weeks. I am still crafting in the form of workshop and DT cards and design work, plus I'm prepping for Sincerely Yours Summer paper Crafting at Newark on the 27th and 28th of this month...it's a bit scary as there's a lot more invested in this one, so I just hope that it turns out okay!
I am also desperate to get in my garden and do...we bought 1500 bricks off Gumtree last week in preparation for the hard landscaping that I want to do...though it's probably enough to build a small extension! There was ever such a cute surprise when I went out there to hang washing the other day, however...
...this sweet little blackbird fledgling was chasing round after it's mother, wanting to be fed! It was almost as big as her and was quite comical as it's legs seemed too long for it's body!
Anyway, enough waffle, I have the last workshop cards that we made to share with you all...
...The first was a sympathy card...
...They're always difficult to make but I wanted to keep some warmth, so went with an inked, Autumnal colour palette and lovely sentiment.
...The second card was an easel card using the dog and embellishments from Animal Antics...
I do hope I find some enthusiasm or motivation soon and that my days can be a little more productive...the sun is shining, so maybe that'll help! Off to put on some washing, clean the bathroom, then it's kid's club this afternoon and a basket full of ironing after tea! I'll be back tomorrow with my card for a new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers, so until then TTFN!
Hugs,
Lisa x
PS
Here's a link to the leaves I used (well, I couldn't find the exact site that I used, but these are the same!) and the sentiment...
Hi Lisa - I feel your pain lol, I cant seem to get my head into crafting although I've got lovely things to play with - I just cant seem to get organised to do any yet I dont actually know where my time goes!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you get into your garden soon and I love your recent makes - particularly the sympathy one xx Take care xx
Perhaps you just needed this fortnight to chillax and recharge your batteries, you have had a rather full on schedule with workshops and shows and family life can take it's toll too, juggling everything day after day. Hopefully with the warmer sunny weather your spirits will brighten and return to normal.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards, I have made a few with the Animal CD so far, my favourite being the humming birds.
