The theme is 7 on the wall at Sunset featuring 7 artists and I picked the Chakra colours as my inspiration. Lots of glass beads (hours of fun on the [...]

Calendula flowers from my garden…..

Some pics of the lovely Calendula flowers I have in the garden at the moment.

They are such a beautifully sunny yellow that it cheers me up straight away just looking at the flowers. They are so stunning and just the variations in yellow is amazing as well.

What a glorious morning……

After such a long period of intense cold, wet, wet days with strong gusty winds…… it is certainly nice to have a couple of days waking up to warm sunshine.

I took a nice leisurely walk down the driveway (2km return) and it was just nice not to have to brace against a gusty [...]

August……. September……..where has time gone???

Well, yes.. I knew it was going to be a busy period but I wasn’t prepared for the extra frustration from a healing hand.

Well…….. it didn’t work and I must admit I felt very frustrated and even a bit anxious that I might not be able to get back on to [...]

I am getting a (new torch) Scorpion!!!!

OMG I am so excited!!!!

I just received the confirmation email for my new torch. I have heard so much about this torch and how good it is that I just HAD to upgrade.

I want to start playing with “hard glass” and my current torch will probably not be as hot as the [...]
