Dressed for Dinner

Just love this Rubic cube idea.

Just a few

Below a slideshow of a few photo's from our cruise holiday in the 'med, part of this was to Italy, which was a first for us so we visited all the famous - must see - places, in scorching heat and me with a painful knee, perhaps the reason i don't smile too well on the photos. The top photo is showing Mount Vesuvius overlooking the bay of Naples, a sad visit for me as it reminded me of my dad who was stationed there during the war in 1944 when Vesuvius last erupted, I have included a photo of that event that Dad brought home with him. The Barcelona market was fantastic, the stalls all works of art the way they were so perfectly set out and ' colour matched' so I just had to take pics in there. In the chocolate stall photo OH is trying to get to the stall but the lady is determined to keep sweeping ( dust all over the chocs - oh dear.)

A Walk in the garden

I love the large perennial plants of this time of the year and am especially pleased with my poppies that I grew from seed last year.Hoping to get the garden planted out with summer bedding this weekend. Trouble is as we get older I'm sure the garden gets larger!

Just one more go

Have done my first samples for the online Embellisher course so feel ok to have another play with Dumpr - it really is fun, thank you Connie for finding this.

Just had to play!

I spied a new web site that Connie was using for her photographs so had a look and here's the result, my very first crazy patchwork egg.The site is http://www.dumpr.net/ - when I first looked for it I must have typed an extra e in and couldn't work out how a site for Dumper trucks could come up with fancy picture work - so sad!

Online Course

I have just downloaded the first lesson of the Embellisher course - looks really exciting so will read thro it and hopefully start something tomorrow, still a pile of holiday washing to do plus my mothers things as her washer gave up the ghost some time ago - "don't worry i'll do it" - says I!!, oh well it'll get done. I really should write out a 'to do list' as I keep remembering things I committed to before I went away and would feel awful if I forget something (if I suddenly remember that I forgot it that is!!!)
