Garden in June

 I nearly forgot to take a photo of my garden June for the 12 months in view project, but luckily I remembered only two days late. So here it is.

Technique challenge

The technique challenge for July over at 12 months in view was to use Distress Inks as a background by stamping little squares in different places, rather like a patchwork. I don't have an ink blending tool (yet) so had to use a foam brush, which I don't think worked as well. I then stamped and doodled on the page.

Spring Zine

On a roll now! Running a bit behind with Bernice's http://12monthsinview.blogspot.co.uk/ but as that is nothing new not getting stressed about it. I completed my Spring Zine last night.

 

First I did the background by adding the colours using Paint Dabbers

March page, although I did add another couple of stamped trees after I had taken this photo (I must get my stamps in order)

 

April - not sure why the photo is sideways - sorry.

 





May.

I have also done the background for my Summer Zine.

Where did the time go??

I don't know how it got to be the middle of May already, but apparently it is. I think I am finally raising my head and starting to look around again  after all the stresses of moving. Although did have a bit of a setback a week ago when I got my thumb trapped when folding down my clothes airer - OUCH big time!! I won't scare you with a photo - suffice to say my nail is now black!! Anyway it is slowly getting better. There are so many projects going on in the craft world that I want to get into as well.

As part of Bernice's 12 months in view I am taking a photo of my garden on the same day every month, the 19th. As a recap here are the photos so far

Last Saturday we had an Open Day at the Manse and invited anyone from our congregation to drop in for coffee. We had never done this before so were unsure how it would go - but it went great, we have 40 people throughout the afternoon and everyone thought it was great.

I have had a busy couple of weeks since Easter, unpacking boxes and trying to find places for everything.

Our move went well despite the weather and we are really enjoying our new house.

As part of Bernice's12 Months in View challenge blog we are to take a photo of our garden on the same day every month. I thought it would be a good idea to take my photo on the day we moved in and then on the 19th of each month. So here it is - we awoke that morning to find snow on the ground, I was not impressed, but Pickfords managed to get us moved in alright.

These are the boxes of my craft stuff still waiting to be emptied - I am hoping to get into them soon and get sorted out so that I can start some crafting again.
