Mice and Men

All the good plans I had for doing a blog everyday seem to have completely blown to the wind. Oh well! Went to a lovely wedding in Dorset last weekend. Danced my butt off. Glorious weather, beautiful rustic old cottage to stay at, surrounded by family and of course the sea. Took my camera. Didn't get it out once. Had my self-esteem raised though. Got chatted to by a very young, rather good-looking chap. Doesn't happen very often, especially by the young ones!!! It must have been my new shoes. I didn't own a pair of party shoes, so I treated myself to some. They are sort of dominitrix (not sure if I have spelt that right?). My, did I feel sexy in them. Felt crippled by the end of the night though.

Monday's craft group was great fun. They just don't come quickly enough. I showed the others how to do mirror prints. The results are unpredictable but it is a fun medium to work with. We had another raffle draw and I won a prize; a little sketchbook made by Annette. It's just like Christmas when you win.

I have slowly, oh so slowly been working on embellishing a denim jacket. So I got a few more yo yo's made for it. Wonder if I'll ever finish it?

I have not had much time to be creative recently, other than the odd doodle in my sketchbook.

But the last couple of days I've had a bit of a creative spurt. Made some mini sketchbooks/notebooks/journal type things and had a go at making a leather cuff. Didn't quite worked out as planned. Tried using snaps for the closure. Thought I was following the instructions well. Obviously wasn't. They just don't seem to fit together and fixing them in seems a really cock-eyed way of doing it. Used some trusty glue as well in the end as they seemed baggy! Had a go at another one and have ended up using ribbon.
