GLUE BOOK - PAGE 4

Another page of my family heritage glue book. This is another photo of my mother when she was tiny. I am so lucky to have these beautiful little images. Once again I have given the page a coat of beeswax to preserve it and to give an aged effect.

FOR MY MAN.........

On our 31st Wedding Anniversary.............................

' LOVE..... the soul of life..... a reason for happiness and the shortest distance between hearts'

Using the resist technique, Fired Brick distress ink and a little freebie heart stamp from Craft Stamper

APPARENTLY...........

I have it on the strictest authority from my youngest grand-daughter Ashleigh (who is 25) that it is 'de rigueur' at the moment to be wearing a scrabble tile ring with your initial on it!

Having 'dabbled with scrabble' in the past I dipped into my enormous stash of scrabble tiles gathered from various charity shops over the years (and which would take me a lifetime to use LOL), only to find that because I had searched at that time for 'vintage' tiles, mine were all wooden and the rings are made from the more modern 'plastic' tiles. So Rosie my daughter came to my aid, sent me a couple and in the blink of an eye I was able to stick them onto ring bases. One of them I decided to 'bling up' and added some crystal gems, topped with diamond glaze to seal them.

A passing fashion phase no doubt, but certainly not worth buying when a couple of minutes work produces two !

OK.... Here's what I'm doing!

Thank you all for your encouragement....... I think Doreen is right...... our mojo's are on holiday together. Just hope they come back refreshed and full of new ideas!
Meanwhile, here is some of my knitting .....

Cardigan that I finished last week. This was made from 'magic yarn'! Knits up very, very cleverly like Fair Isle

On-going scarf made from fine web-spun mohair.

Little crochet hat..... I have made 5 of these so far.
(the colour has photographed rather strangely here for some reason)

Lastly, this is what I am working on at the moment. A long jacket. I have just finished the back and am now starting one of the sides. It is knitting up very heavy so I think... or rather I hope... that it will hang nicely when finished.

At least I'm not going to be short of something to wear if I carry on at this rate!

OH DEAR......................

I HAVE WELL AND TRULY LOST MY MOJO.........I am enjoying my knitting but as for anything else creative I have come to a full stop.....a dead end.... a brick wall......

I'm surrounded by a plethora of tools, materials, digital aids, fabrics etc and yet nothing is inspiring, motivating or calling me.

Have I just run my natural course over these past few years, I ask myself? I hope not.....

I still have an assortment of ideas tumbling through my head.... and whilst I have those I shall continue to search for that elusive mojo.

Meanwhile, the knitting is growing and I shall carry on looking to the stars and praying for a sign!

TWO MORE.......

Two more assembled images from my Art Nouveau Cricut cartridges. Moth and butterfly. Still haven't decided what to do with them yet!
