Make and Takes

Good Evening my friends.......just whizzing by (bit like time really.....can't believe it's November!) , yes just whizzing by to show you my makes from the weekend.

On Saturday I spent a nice few hours over at Samuel Taylors in Leeds where John Lockwood was demoing and the shop was running make and takes for charity.....so I had to have a play and really enjoyed myself.
What did I make?......well titivate probably. I bought some MDF blank ornaments and then set to with paints, glitter and pens.

Here they are..........




and the final one........my gingerbread men garland!



Sorry about the lousy photos but the light was fading fast and they are more of a brown in real life...not grey/blue as they appear. They had one up in the shop for us to copy so I just cased it! (as did everyone)
Not something I normally do MDF but it has perhaps made me want to finish some  baubles that have been stashed away in a drawer for a year now!! need time....aaagghhhh

The end of this week sees hubby and I heading for the NEC in Birmingham to visit the craft and cake shows. I wonder if there will be anything to tempt me there...hmmmm !!!

So enjoy your week and weekend...I have been peeking at your blogs....boy you people put me to shame there is some absolutely stunning works of art out there!!
Till next time, keep well, take care and enjoy whatever you do. Thank you so much for stopping by to read my ramble...........it is as always such a pleasure to read any comments you might leave me. See you later!

Crafty hugs.

    Love them all but the snowflake is particularly striking.

    I know what you mean about cameras and colours. Mine doesn't like all of them and seems to change them to what it prefers LOL!!

  10. Hi Carole, what lovely ornaments, you are so clever:)x Do hope Thomas is ok now, the poor little sausage. Also hope you are feeling a lot better now too! Sounds like you have had an awful time of it just recently:( Things still hectic here, David had a phone call yesterday to have one of his cataracts done, they had a cancellation!! He was over the moon as his sight has been deteriorating fast.. another six weeks then he may get his other one done. I'm sure you will have a fab time at the NEC.. Enjoy!!!
    Love and hugs,
