Happy Tuesday ........ It's been a funny old day ...... it's been foggy here for most it, which was not good.  Our little island doesn't cope well with fog!  First off the plane that brings some of the mail didn't arrive this morning ..... it couldn't land because of the fog.  Possibly why there was nothing through the letterbox today .... no craft stash delivery!! And then the practice/qualifying session for the racing, which is due to run this evening because it was cancelled last night, has been a bit of a worry all day. I think it is finally going ahead, a statement was issued earlier saying conditions have cleared considerably this afternoon on the mountain so, fingers crossed everything goes according to plan.  Did I mention we've got the MGP (Manx Grand Prix) on at the moment.  It's practice/qualifying this week, then race week next. Oooh ..... the sun has just appeared, so we might just get a nice evening after all.  I hope it's shining where yo...

Happy Monday evening ....... Well, that's one weekend gone without hubby ........ only one more to go. 10 days and he'll be home. Anyone would think I'm missing him!  (You all know that I am of course!) I did have a lovely weekend though.  A nice crafty day on Saturday (with cake ...... and gin!) and then a lovely lunch out on Sunday with Lauren and the little man. Shhh! I don't want to say this too loud but, I think the mojo might be on it's way back too!  Finger's crossed I haven't spoken too soon.  Saturday was lovely ...... crafting with a friend is always fun, and this weekend I was actually productive.  I can't share it just yet...... it was a special card for someone who's very recently had a BIG birthday (Sunday) and I haven't given it to her yet. (You'll get it on Wednesday Carol) I do have something I can share though ..... yeah !  It's been a busy day in the craft room, not with anything in particular, just me trying to rustle...

Happy Friday 13th!! ...... I hope you're not superstitious.  This is a scheduled post as I'm currently on my way to Naples ......  (I hope I am anyway!)    Then we're off to Sorrento on the beautiful Amalfi coast, for a week of relaxation, sight seeing, good food and nice wine. Hopefully we'll get some sun too! April's Craft Stamper Challenge is in full swing, I did sneak a quick look at the gallery before I left and there's some amazing entries on there already. If you've still not got yours in don't worry, there's plenty of time and if you need a little inspiration here you go ..... A little bit of stencil monoprinting.  You know I don't like to waste anything and this was a left over piece from a stencil workshop. This was done using the pretty Daisy stencil from Inkylicious.  I'd used the stencil in the normal way, applying ink through the design to get the daisy image (see that card HERE )   Instead of wiping away the excess ink left on...
