The Great Escape.

Well I managed to escape the house and get out into the big, bad world. We decided to check out a warehouse that until a few weeks ago was strictly "Trade" only but has now been opened to the general public. It was huge and sold everything you could think of, from food to furniture all at greatly reduced prices, best of all it had a craft section, OMG I was like a kid in a sweetie shop! They had large tubes of Acrylic paint for 94p, packs of 6 clamps, 2 for a pound I could go on and on. Needless to say my stash increased this afternoon.

The bottom item is a paper guillotine. I'll definitely be going again when pennies allow.
Hoping to get some printies made up tonight.
See you tomorrow......

The Shining.

Since Fern took ill, (2 weeks plus 1 day today) apart from a trip to the wholesalers and going to work I haven't stepped over the doorstep. I am starting to feel like Jack Nicholson, I've got "Cabin Fever" and have told Steve I need to do something different, I don't care what we do or where we go but I need a change of scenery! Don't think much mini-ing will be done today as I really do need to get out of here.....

Productive Day.

I've had a very productive day, mini wise, I decided to go with the PC corner rather than an under stairs wall and door, probably because that was the easy option rather than cutting card stock to fit the space with angles ,ugh. I scoured the internet this morning but stuck with Jim's, I haven't been on there for ages and was surprised at some of the new stuff that's on there, needless to say I am going to sign up for the newsletter, it's astonishing how printies have come on from when I started with this highly addictive hobby. So this morning was spent researching and printing. This afternoon I made the table to go in the corner of the hall, it's a triangle but with a curved side, why did I make a 3 legged table? A 3 legged table doesn't wobble! that's why milking stools have 3 legs. Left it to go to work all glued and braced etc which was a blessing, as I hate waiting for glue to dry, came home and everything was set and sorted. I was planning to cut out and make the printies but I am tired, I overslept this morning, alarm goes off at 7.15am, Steve gets up and I leave him to it and watch the morning news upstairs, this morning Steve got up and next thing I knew he was tapping me on the shoulder at 8.15. I think the problem is I have been so stressed about Fern that now she seems to on the mend I am letting go. She has had a really good day today, she has had 4 full meals progress!! 
See you tomorrow.....

Freaky Friday......

Well it is freaky to me, it's unheard of for me to have a Friday where there are no pressing, RL chores to do so I am going to make the most of it.

This is where the box is up to, stairs and door are just propped in there so I'm hoping to remedy that and to start on the PC corner under the stairs. I have found a great laptop on Jim's site

so will be off upstairs later to play with main PC and printer.
Fern seems a lot brighter today so all in all things are looking up.
