My little corner of Blogland where I can share my creations with you. There are many video tutorials as well as links to good quality websites for all your crafting needs.
This has been my Birthday week and I have been out and about with Ruby. Yesterday which was my actual Birthday we went to Cuerden Park and had a really good walk along with Ruby's best friend Dougal and my daughter , his mum.
It is a dogs' paradise in there as there is water to splash in, hills to climb and lots of trees to sniff about in. There may be even the odd squirrel lurking around to be barked at. It's lovely and especially when the weather is good as it was yesterday.
Now onto the draw for yesterdays prize and the name is
Lyn Nash
if you would email me your postal address please to

I will get it in the post to you straight away and I hope you have fun playing with this A4 stamp set.
You will also have the magazine to browse through for an hour or more so what a lovely way to chill with your favourite brew.
If you think you can make use of this die set then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME
Then one name will be chosen and announced in a blog post over the weekend so be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown.
Tonic Dies are always good ones and well worth building up into your own collection. And with a magazine each month it is surprising how quickly your collection can grow.
So try your hand at winning this one. Even if you have won one before you can still enter and you don't need to have a blog either.
Today I want to share with you the latest project I have completed with Paint Pouring and for this one I am so happy. And what a difference it has made to the bedroom.
The result is absolutely stunning ... even if I do say so myself.
So here is a very short video of the journey although I haven't shown the actual pour itself.
The canvases where far to large to do in my craft room and I had to move to my garage to do them. There is no camera set up in there and so no filming. But I am working on it !!
The curtains and bedding in the room are new and the carpet is a very pale beige.
One wall has fitted white wardrobes and the other has a large window, the one wall left is cream
I hope you enjoy the little video and I hope you like the end result on the wall.
The paints I used are from various companies but because I needed such a lot to cover the canvases the white base coat is
Dulux Brilliant White Silk Finish Paint
and I have thinned it to the correct consistency with water.
It saved me a lot of money in White Acrylic Paint and I am more than happy with the finish.
The other colours are Pthalo Green, Orange, Payne's Grey, Coeruleum Blue, Ultramarine Blue.
24K Gold from Decoart and a little touch of Black.
I did it as a Dutch pour and blew it out with my hairdryer.
Well it's cold and very windy here today and there is yet more rain forecast for this weekend. I doubt very much that Ruby will be getting her walk as it will blow her away. So it's fire time and feet up.
If you managed to catch Facebook Live yesterday then thank you for joining us and if you won one of the free sets of the new Provence Collection then I really hope you will enjoy playing with them once they arrive with you.
The draw has been done for yesterdays prize and the name today is
