All Is Now Calm ....

In fact, it's so quiet here after yesterday and early this morning, I've got a headache - lol.  After the promise of a very early start, things weren't too bad - 7.15am, so The Beautiful One came into bed with us and we all laid there giggling and being silly and got up half an hour later - not bad I thought.  Breakfast was a breeze - real porridge and strawberry fruit squirt - yummy ....
Then Mum and Dad arrived to take them off to Harvey's birthday party.  Before they went I took a couple of photos in their party outfits ...
Cleared up the kitchen and put things back to as they were and spent the rest of the day playing around with more Journal pages.
This time all the images are from The Octopode Factory, all drawn by the very talented Lily Chilvers.
These pages are in the 8" x 8" Pink Pig Journal.  The first is Steampunk Nipper, Bernie.  Just love the image - not sure about the page itself - too much 'empty space' .....
Then it's Frida - when I coloured her in and cut her out last week, that's just how I was feeling ...
Next is Helga and that fantastic poem by Jenny Joseph 'Warning'.  There's something about Helga that promises to do all the things in the poem ....
Last one in this Journal is, of course, Paddington Bear (again love the image just not sure about the page itself) ....
Next up, the little black Journal - Zombie Ragdoll on the left and Steampunk Nipper, Alfie on the right ...
Might do some knitting next or maybe another page - spoilt for choice here - lol ...

Sue I was so glad to hear from you. I have been neglecting my blog. We went to Texas in June with our 10 year old niece so she could check off more states visited. Then we took two short trips to Nevada and when its cooler we will go somewhere else. My niece loves sleeping in the bunk bed in the trailer. Not much else new, still craft, sew and sell online. Love your photos and craft projects.
