Well still decorating around my pals house! But finally we look like we are winning!
I reckon another two more days and we shall be almost finished. Looks much better.
Got a class on Friday and not sure what to do as yet. My craft table does not know whats hit it as it's been a few days since I have sat my butt down to craft, got the urge to do domino's but they will have to wait a little longer!
So I shall say good bye for now.
Pop back soon and hopefully I shall have some pictures to show you.

Thursday-decorating day
Today I am off round a friends house to help her decorate, any excuse to wield a paint brush I say! So no crafting today nor probably tomorrow.
We are going to attempt the downstairs hallway and two small bedrooms downstairs. Magnolia walls and some white gloss work, just to freshen things up,oh and doing the ceilings too,so I shall have more white in my hair lol, at least I don't need a ladder or chair to reach,being tall does have it's bonuses,sometimes.
Right she will be here in a moment to got o town to pick up materials, so I shall say bye for now. Jinny x

Been trying to sketch
It has been a beautiful day here in Scotland today,so decided the garden needed doing! I have been itching to cut my grass and give it a general tidy for weeks now but with the sun out and hubby having a day off-job done!
Also managed to tidy and clean my craft area-that pastel dust gets everywhere! Although I dare say it will not last for long,it never does.
This evening I have been doing a bit of sketching and colouring, I have a fear of doing faces and people and animals,so thought it time I bit the bullet and at least tried. Not happy with the charcoal pic of woman but quite please with the childs eye. You know what they say prctise,practise,practise!
