Wasgij - Slumber party

-
This is one of the jigsaws I’ve completed recently. It’s a wasgij that I always enjoy. Here goes:
These are all the remaining pieces at this point- getting there.
And here’s the completed jigsaw
I like this one showing the chaos of nighttime in this house as all the animals and toys are the only ones awake. I still like to think that toys do this when we are not looking. It’s that whole toy story idea - I love it!

Here’s the original picture of the scene as everyone is off to bed.
Have a good night all - I hope all your toys have great fun tonight while you’re sleeping.

Conkers!

A week last Friday I was sick of the rain and sick of not being able to get outside at lunch times so on my way home from work I decided to stop off for a walk at my local country park. The park happens to be very close to my hubby’s work so I persuaded him to skive off a few minutes early and join me for a wander. I had a few minutes on my own and went to find a few clues for a nearby geocache so that we can hopefully find it the next time our niece is up to see us then we went for a walk around the lake and through the surrounding paths. The grass (& bits of the paths) were pretty puddle-y so we had to stick to the more solid paths and try to avoid as many puddles as we could. We were both straight from work so we didn’t have our walking boots with us or anything. We both turned into big kids when we got near the conker trees as there were so many conkers that had fallen. These were all just under one tree! There were even some still in their shells as they obvio

A weekend in the Charlie Van

We had another lovely weekend in Yorkshire this weekend. This time we stayed in the  Charlie Van  at Phil and Tammy’s. We had a really lovely chilled time - it was really needed despite our time off last week. I think I found last week having time off work more stressful than it was worth for the time I had off - perhaps it was not taking the full week off I’m not sure but the couple of days at the beginning of the week before I was off and most of last week was just a nightmare really trying to get caught up. We arrived Friday night to a lovely supper from a lady who’s started a Supper Club in the village. She delivered our dinner (some southern fried chicken and home made salads) to our friend house in Friday afternoon and it was still warm when we arrived to eat it. I wasn’t sure I was going to feel very full afterwards given that it was just salad with the chicken but I was absolutely stuffed. I even gave a chicken leg to Adam to eat and still couldn’t manage the pudding that eveni

Test painting for a future idea

I had an idea for something I wanted to do with a tiny little canvas that I have but before I get into that completely I wanted to do a bit of a test run. I cut out a heart shaped template from paper and tried a couple of different ways of trying to paint the template. I attached it to the front of a card blank that I had - I thought I may as well end up with something out of it even if it is only a test piece. We only have acrylic paint at home and I wanted to try a drizzling or flicking technique to fill in the template so I watered down some paint and started to flick it at the hole in the template. I started off with light pink and then gradually turned it darker and continued to flick at the heart hoping to fill the whole area with paint... I think I should have used card or definitely something more waterproof for the stencil as this is the hot mess that came out! Definitely not a success. Moving swiftly on to plan B... The watering down of the paint didn’t see
