dear prudence

another week has flown by and another song came to mind :-) This is what happened when I printed out the images Nance provided us with for week 4 of Collage Play with Crowabout.

Good Things that happened this week:

1) My son was given a full-time job, working for the Council. Hallelujah! Temporary for one month, but much better than sitting at home doing very little and sleeping his life away… fingers crossed, it could lead to something more permanent…

2) The sun shone! For more than 5 minutes at a time & on more than one day :-)

3) My camera held out for another week! (It’s seriously on it’s last legs now :( )

Here’s to a positive, constructive week ahead…

Love to All xXx

The third week of Nance’s Collage Challenges and I managed to produce this. I’ve had the song going round & round in my head for days now :-) I really enjoyed making this page, in spite of not feeling too inspired when I started it. All the drawing and colouring in took me right back to my schooldays. The song came later, after I’d left school!

Well, the days have turned into weeks, and weeks into months and we are already heading for Autumn here. The weather has been awful during most of August & I’m really fed up with it. I thought after the floods last year, we might have deserved a specially good summer this year… *sigh* Ah, well…. back to work for me..

Hope the sun is shining where you are! :-)

Have a good week. Love to All xXx

….get a Hat! Or an upside-down cereal dish, if you like! ;-)

Week Two of Nance’s Collage Challenge already! I’m really enjoying myself having a go at this ~ it’s reminding me how happy I can be when I just let myself get absorbed in doing something for Fun :-)

Fun is what’s been missing from my life for the best part of this year so far. I can’t believe how much I needed this challenge to wake me up again, and am so glad that Nance came up with this group idea and put in all the hard work to make it happen… Bless you, darlin’! xXx

I’ve been spending far too much time at The Orchard during the summer months – it’s easier for me to keep up with my work, but I do miss my boy & have an awful lot of sorting out still to do back at home. It’s a real dilemma – spend time at home & be alone with lots of hard work to do, or spend time in the beautiful surroundings of The Orchard, where there’s a huge amount of sky to be seen from every window, beautiful views in all directions, clean, fresh air; where a hammock waits for me to relax in it between rain showers (I’ve had the hammock for many years and this is the first time we’ve had somewhere to hang it), where my dog is happiest, where my significant other of the last 6 years lives….

What’s a girl to do? Cut pictures out and make Art with them, that’s what! ;-)

Hope you’re all enjoying yourselves, whatever you’re doing…

Love to All xXx

Haha! At last, some fun! :D

Dear Nance has just gathered together a group on Flickr, called Collage Play with Crowabout. Each week, Nance will post a sheet of Collage images which the group members will then use to create some kind of Art.

The image of the woman’s face was the one that appealed to me the most from this week’s selection. I had a lot of fun playing around with the printer/copier & came up with this. Great fun! Just what I needed!

Thanks, Nance! :D xXx

turned to Blue…

Hello.  I’m still here. Hope you are too ;-)

I’ve been in such a state. Still in a mess, mentally, but hanging on in there and am so glad to be typing in this box again :-)

It’s been a strange year. I miss blogging a lot. I miss creating. I miss ME! I don’t know where I’ve been, but I do know I’ve been in a dark place.

This moment (in the photo), captured a few weeks ago now, had me floored. I sat & wept like a baby. Totally overwhelmed. I was stood in the garden of The Orchard – the beautiful surroundings that were to be my home and are now my ‘office’. Bittersweet beauty. I’m getting there…

Life is Beautiful, even while we’re not appreciating it…

Love to All xXx
