Workshop Goodies

When I was at Stitches last week, I signed up for a couple of workshops. One of them was this frame by Kaisercraft - lovely frame and papers, but frankly the demonstrator was a bit rubbish. We were left pretty much to our own devices while she rabbited on about her son's tattoo (on his neck if anyone is interested? No, we weren't either...). Anyway,we packed up the stuff and carried it home to finish, by which time I had totally lost interest in it. It does look okay though, although I am not a fan of these sayings ordering you to follow your dreams, reach for the sky etc etc. I do have a friend who is very into needlecrafts, so this might find it's way into her birthday parcel - if I can figure out how to rectify the fact that I decorated the front upside down, so the little hanging thingy is on the bottom. I don't think it was my day, perhaps I should reach for the sky a bit more.......

I liked this card better, the papers are HOTP, and very lovely....again, I finished it off at home

I seem to have a dozen projects on the go at the moment, a bit of a jack of all trades. I have deadlines to meet which may help, another large coffee would probably help me focus as well. I am such a butterfly, so easily distracted. What happens is that I reach for some embossing powder, and remember some tutorial on you tube from way back where she did this really neat thing with embossing powder......so the half finished project is abandoned (not put neatly to one side, abandoned, buried under an avalanche of papers and embossing powder), then when I have messed around with heat guns for an hour or so, I remember what I ought to be doing and look for the abandoned card, nowhere to be seen of course. While I am looking for it, I find a bit of plastic called a bowdabara, which has never worked terribly well for me - I need to practice, so I grab some ribbon and another hour is wasted....and so it goes on.

If I can get my act together, I'll be back tomorrow with something new from Letraset.....
