....oh, my goodness...where does time go to??? Have had a manic couple of weeks with very little time for crafting at all!! The picture above is of my lovely children. Bethany was 18 in November and for one reason and another we were unable to celebrate properly at the time so we secretly planned a trip to Heston Blumenthal's restaurant, The Fat Duck, during half term. They were very excited and thoroughly enjoyed eating a whole range of fantastic dishes! My personal favourite was the Mock Turtle soup served as though it was part of the Mad Hatters Tea Party.We were given a cup with a gold watch hanging in it....
......then the bowl of soup arrived...it just looked too pretty to eat......
...the waitress arrived and poured hot water into the tea cup, which we then had to stir until the watch had dissolved and pour into the bowl...
...and here's the finished product!!! It looked amazing.....and tasted divine!!!
The day before all this I was lucky enough to go to a workshop with Suze Weinberg!! What a lovely lady....I had such a good day and now I actually know how to use my melt pot properly I will definitely be getting it out more often!!! Here are a couple of the things I made....
.....totally coincidentally, an Alice in Wonderland beeswax collage!!!
This was so simple, but very effective....we covered the glass from a memory frame with red line tape, then stuck a couple of pieces of torn book page to it. We then applied some foil and finished off with gold UTEE and Bedazzled jewels. Attached to the bottom is one of Tim's tokens. It was a lovely day and I met some really nice people....again!!
The following week was Sam's 16th birthday and this is the card I made for him! I used my Stampin' Up All in the Family stamps to make the little 'Sams'......and my new Copic markers to do most of the colouring!!!
And finally, better late than never....my February diary pages!!! WAHEEEYYYYY!!!!!
...have to report that March is still in production....well it's ONLY 6 days to catch up on!!!
See you all soon......ooohhhh.......Artsycrafts next weekend.....very excited.....xxxx
