At last, a day in, nowhere to go and nothing to do but create buuut... why couldn't I get going? Well, after my busy week I had left so much to put away that I had to have a bit of a sort out first! Fortunately yesterday I bought 2 more storage boxes so I have transferred some of the things I use most into those and they can now sit on a shelf close by to where I work. I don't have a craft room so the dining table is the only flat surface that I can use but that needs clearing every night-I get indigestion if I don't sit a table:( Hopefully I can just scoop everything into my boxes now.
Yesterday I met my youngest son in Manchester to go for a look at the Christmas market. It was his birthday but he treated me to lunch, and as we wanted to be quick we went to Katsouris, a deli which serves delicious hot food and fast, though it was a bit of a scrum for a table.
The stalls have spread even further this year but my favourites are the French stalls in King Street. I'm definitely going back, probably later in the day next time so that the lights look better and I can take some photos.
I'm out for lunch again tomorrow with my over 60's gym group(yes it is as much fun as it sounds!)so I need to make today count LOL
This morning I have made some more Christmas cards and started some atcs and tags, looking at the photos it looks as though the glue shows although this is not the case in reality.
As you can see Crafty Individuals to the rescue again!
So, lunch now, and then get on with completing some things.... and I suppose I should get something ready for tonight too!!
Thanks for looking.
Keep safe and warm,
Chrisx
Hi! My horoscope in the Sunday paper said it was going to be a busy week but didn't say how busy! I seem to have so much coming up-one week only sort of stuff and I know that next week will be back in the old routine so I mustn't complain!
Now to see if I can show you some piccies
Hmmm.......1 day later:(
OK soooo! this is the umpteenth attempt to put anything at all here and look at the size!!! If I change it everything goes fuzzy so here I have a dilemma - to leave or not to leave? OK, leave.
On Tuesday night I was at a celebration event for Manchester in Bloom at Manchester Town Hall, in the great hall no less!! That building, which I think is one of the most beautiful in the north west, is even better inside. I didn't really need the loo but went just so that I could nosy and then was even more delighted when we had to leave by a different door from the one we came in at. I have decided that I must book in for a guided tour in the new year!!
Jo(a brilliant oraganiser who gets us all motivated) and Everard.(and just look behind them!!)
Wednesday night was a meal out at a carvery to celebrate my youngest's 28th, the whole family were there and guess what.... I forgot my camera! Managed to take a few on my phone but I hate doing that:(
Blood test yesterday then drove to Warrington to pick my youngest grandson from school.
Fortunately, in between all the to and froing I have managed to complete my atcs for Heather's Movers and shakers swap.
Can you see the moving part?(clue on middle one) Distress inks,Crafty individuals images and stamp,charms that aren't quite angels and 'Lindsay ribbon'
My tryptich for Heather's Christmas swap

Thanks for looking,have a good weekend, Chrisx
