MLD Meme

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

My theme for this month is Christmas and my visit to the Christmas Market in the centre of Birmingham.

There was a Big Wheel in Centenary Square.  This is a photo taken from the side of the structure of the wheel.

Thanks for stopping by.

Photo Challenge

Every month on 12 Months in View we take a photograph of the same place, preferably at the same day and time.

I take photos of my back garden from my bedroom window.  Here's the view last month in November.

And here's how it looks now in December.

What a difference a month makes!

Thanks for stopping by.

Workshop with Finnabair

On Saturday I was in Derbyshire at a workshop organised by Jamie & Sharon the owners of Artist Trading Post.  The guest tutor was Anna Dabrowska, known as Finnabair.

Anna generously shared her techniques with us and the class kit was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.   Packets and packets of Prima findings, a journal and some 12x12" papers.

The morning session was spent making the cover decorations.

After lunch we started on pages for inside the journal.  This is the first one and it's a long time since I worked in purples and pinks!

The second set of pages used a different technique.  When I got home I stamped the saying and stuck it on.

And then finally there was a third technique for which I watched part of the technique and then went home.  I did this at home on my own.

It was an enjoyable day.  Thank you Jamie, Sharon & Finnabair.

Thanks for stopping by.
