Yesterday was too foul weather wise to do anything but stay indoors. Got more Xmas stuff made, think I need just another ten. Then suddenly it is Thursday, and it is breakfast and mum is moaning about missing tablets... only they aren't missing, she's just forgotten to pick up her repeat prescription! We have the same thing every month, and guess who ends up heading to chemist! Yep and so I did again, out in the rain, but tucked up in new jacket. The usual chaos on the road, road works - do they ever stop digging up the bloody roads? Then limped round to chemist, would like to know what my new artificial knee has against walking! Cos it certainly doesn't like it. For once there was no queue at chemist, so straight in and out, over to papershop to see if they have any craft mags that may just take my fancy. Oddly it was the crafts beautiful magazine, mostly cos I liked the stamp set. Yep, Xmas stamps, but with a lovely reindeer, see pic. By time I'd waited in queue to pay the knee had had enough, so it was off home.
So after lunch it was back to the card making, can't believe I went about two months without hardly any crafting. Made use of the new stamp set, nice crisp images, and used up the spare bits from some cards, even got a bit crafty, using a versa mark stamp round the edge and some embossing powder. Also turned a near disaster into a triumph. Yesterday I was using some thin mirri, which is great for matting and layering, but I used for embossing... mistake! The heat gun started to make a pattern on the mirri, thought all was lost, but it actually made it look unusual. Haven't yet taken a picture of it, will try to remember tomorrow.
Hoping the weather will be better, got a few things to do tomorrow.
