Lets eat Cake


Of course there's something I'm not happy with, I'm my worst critic after all but has much as I love the new image from LOTV . I coloured with pencils and sometimes I forget to colour round the nose and it loses it sharpness, if I remember I go over with a clean paper stump with Sansador on to remove the residue but obviously this time I forgot. I will look it out of my card bag and possibly retake it with the camera after I clean his nose.
But it's still a great Unisex image although putting red punched flowers isn't going to work for a fella. I've a sneaking feeling the sketch is Sketch Birthdays but I didn't realise they do one week female and the next male. Also I don't think I copied the sketch that well but I do love this layout its a bit of a change.
Well plans for yesterday was put aside when I got a phone call asking if I wanted to go to The Craft Barn, well I wasn't going to say no.
The Craft Barn as moved from Lingfield to Priory Farm near Redhill this would be fine if SatNav didn't take us round the scenic route and using a map on the way back didn't help either. But the shop it self is in a beautiful unit with a Farm Shop and Plant shop with a nice coffee shop.
I've decided today with Hubby home who plans to empty the loft to sort it out (that means he gets all down and I sort it out) there won't be much crafting today but I do hope I get to play on the sewing machine at least.

A lovely sweet card. Nothing wrong with noses that I can see.
Good luck sorting the loft, it takes something special to go in my loft - I have suitcases and Christmas stuff only- I remember the 3 days to clear the loft in my old house cos everything went up there. The spiders, the dust eeewwwwhhh *shivers* I swore never again.
