Seems ages since I posted anything on here but I haven’t been idle, lol. Had a couple of weeks away, visiting my bestest ever friend, followed by my OH having a week off work, so lots to do and some day trips with lots of walking when the weather allowed. I’ve done a bit of crafting, but not much stamping and have taken lots of photos but my card reader seems to be broken, so I can’t download the latest ones, even though I have some from the last few weeks.
Here’s my favourite fairytale house, where I spent my break.
And here’s the little house (at the bottom of the front yard) where I stayed while there.
I did some napkin art while there and have a couple of cards and a journal page in progress but they’re still drying, so I can’t finish them off yet, but here’s the other bit of crafting I’ve been doing.
This may look like ganache but it isn’t – and here’s a clue!
Here’s a bigger one, lol.
Today, I stamped a card while waiting for the rain to die down a bit.
I used an Indigo Blu stamp, which is quite big, so I only used part of it, then watercoloured with inks and used a splatter stamp here and there, finishing off with a bit of glitter varnish over the petals, although you can’t see that, of course. I love these colours.
Will be visiting you all in the next week or so, as soon as life settles down a bit xxx
Forgot to add these… not too pretty when close up?

Hi there Cath, Looks to me like you had a wonderful time:0)Pretty cottage, the soap looks like fun too! I love the flowers and colours of your beautiful card. Gay xxx
Welcom home - so very very glad that you have had a wonderful break.
And what a fabulous house you stayed in.
I used to love making soap, and candles, and body cream - those perfumes and moulds make them look good enough to eat don't they?
Love, love, love you card and those colours a just perfect
Don't bother to visit my blog - I still haven't got back into crafting yet.

P.S.
The thunder, hailstorms, lightening and torrential rain are just about passing over us and the sunshine is breaking through - for now - but who knows, it's be like this all day here too!
Love the soaps and the card, not sure about the dragonfly though, they do look evil don't they?

Love the cottage Cath. Looks like a little dolls house. As for the soaps. I thought they were sweets first of all. Guess you know a lot of people with a hygiene problem, lol. Anyhow, love them all the same, x
Fab photos Cath! I love the little cottage, and the soaps look gorgeous! Wish I could smell them too! Your Darter photos are excellent. I love the way they bask in the sun and come back to their 'perch'.
