I have made a lot of friends online and Pam in Memphis is one of the best, I happened to mention two of my oldest friends here in the UK were going to be in Memphis for a couple of days,,and she arranged to meet them and show them around. It was so kind of her, I just wish I had been there as well.<br />

The frames are going up very quickly, and the panels will be in place by this Friday,next week we should be connected to the National Grid,and hopefully producing enough power for at least 20 homes.<br />

Wilson has had a very bad month,starting with a very unpleasant skin infection which required steroids,followed by him feasting on rat poison .which luckily I witnessed and got him to the vets. He was and still is being treated for the poisoning.<br />
Thank goodness for insurance.<br />

On a sadder note we have had a very difficult month because my Mother was taken into care,for her safety and that of others,.This has been very difficult especially for my Father,two brothers and myself, Alzheimer's has to be one of the cruellest diseases,it robs the sufferer of so much ,and for close family it is devastating. I hope that one day there will be a cure and that the time bomb ,we hear so much about never happens. Mum is a very good artist ,but has not painted for many years<br />

not a very good photo as i took it at a strange angle,but this is the hamlet she longs to go back too,with her beloved dog,who has long gone<br />

another painting showing the tiny Baptist Church<br />
She also is a very accomplished pianist,and it a comfort to know that some days she entertains the ward by playing the piano. But the hardest thing is the fact that some of the time she is quite clear thinking,and in her eyes we have abandoned her,trying to leave her after visiting is very difficult and traumatic, for all concerned as she becomes very distressed<br />

I find I have to be in the mood to create ,and I can go for weeks without even looking at inks or paint, and sewing takes over. But then I find I have sudden inspiration and something else takes a turn. So it was the last couple of weeks I belong to a group of eight,all based in Europe and we swap journal pages. The plan is to send on the 15th of each month to one person, but I have sent to four in two weeks,the reason being I was in the mood ,and who knows when that will happen again.<br />
These pages have gone to Italy and for some reason they all ended up as collage<br />

I used Kanban stamps and my mystery stamps from QVC which I think may be 7Gypsies,and as you can see London is a little crooked .<br />

I was so pleased with this Tag,it is cut with the Tim Holtz Tag die from scrap cardboard,sprayed with Dylusions,and stamped with some of my favourite <br />
<a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/" title="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/">http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/</a> stamps, actually I love all their stamps. but the trees lend themselves to tags.<br />

I love this stamp and yet again it is <a href="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/" title="http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/">http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/</a><br />
I kept it simple with archival ink and just clear embossed the wings.<br />
and lastly a simple banner using Dylusions and buttons.<br />

On the subject of Crafty Individuals, I thought would be clever today and tried to print the Angel image onto fabric,It was not as successful as i would have liked ,but I will try again.<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jqRDLaQrAX8/UL5lsTGObcI/AAAAAAAAMJU/byihnNAy0Bc/s1600-h/IMG_8735%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_8735" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-MEaMe0nniwA/UL5lt8DlL2I/AAAAAAAAMJc/5toK5N1GjrQ/IMG_8735_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_8735" width="363" /></a><br />
My plan was to free motion stitch the wings,but as you can see the image does not give enough definition, so I will try a different technique.<br />
While the machine was out I made a cuff using the wonderful roses and lace that had been sent to me ,by my dear friend ReNae. <a href="http://crabtree-creations.blogspot.co.uk/" title="http://crabtree-creations.blogspot.co.uk/">http://crabtree-creations.blogspot.co.uk/</a><br />

It is by Industrial Chic ,quite large and had layered papers inside,<br />
as I was in the mood for altering ,I removed the papers <br />
and cut coarse calico to replace it.<br />

I stitched the word Inspiration onto the front piece<br />
and just because it was already printed,I used a photo of myself on the inside.<br />

Another month has passed without a post so I thought it was time for a update.<br />

Inspired once again by ReNae http://crabtree-creations.blogspot.co.uk/ I made a Halloween banner, Not having the supplies ReNae used I created my own version<br />

Last weekend after the recycled jean project I had a sudden urge to clear out and reorganise my craft room. I admit to being a bit of a collector keeping things just in case they may come in useful for some future craft project.<br />
First to go was most of my paper scrap collection, which had grown to fill a large box on wheels.<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_p1MGmSLbbQ/UJbyZZ-dY1I/AAAAAAAALsc/HAvBr5lpzJQ/s1600-h/IMG_8107%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_8107" border="0" height="482" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-GAc199EOyk4/UJbya8tSYRI/AAAAAAAALsk/IXoHh2KEhh0/IMG_8107_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_8107" width="644" /></a><br />
I tipped it out onto the floor and picked out the best bits, and then filled a bin bag with the rest. I am not sure why crafters feel the need to save every scrap however small.<br />
Then I started on the rest of the room<br />

I find the easiest way is to tip everything onto the desk and then sort through it<br />

After the success of the craft room I decided to do the rest of the house,room by room,Once again I found the best way was to empty every cupboard and just put back what was needed.<br />

Just the kitchen left to tackle this week, and then I will arrange for several sacks to be sent to the charity shop,It feels so good to have done this and I now even have some empty cupboards.<br />
I have already mentioned ReNae ,please check out her blog <a href="http://crabtree-creations.blogspot.co.uk/">http://crabtree-creations.blogspot.co.uk/</a> as not only is she a very talented artist,she also has a wonderful way with words which makes me smile.<br />
This week she sent me yet another gift,this time it was butterfly and bird themed rubber stamps <br />

It has been six weeks since my last post, and it has been very eventful.<br />
My new Grandson was born on the planned date of 26th September by Cesarean section ,but like his big sister before him the birth was not as straightforward as we had hoped.<br />
Mother and baby were in some distress and baby M was born with a collapsed lung causing breathing problems. This in turn meant an extended stay in the ICU, and a spell in the special care unit, at some point he was also tested positive for Pseudomonas, so as you can imagine it was a very stressful time.<br />

I thought I would make a apple core quilt,but soon realized it was not for me,<br />

I decided to turn it into hanging storage , and it meant I could use a lot more of the discarded jeans, now all I have to do is finish it off , by adding buttons ,studs etc.<br />
I will never be able to do neat work ,so this sort of project is perfect for me.Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11313781786628708615noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365974228900617036.post-21236328711145382892012-09-17T14:39:00.001-07:002012-09-17T14:53:31.801-07:00First Cruise<br />
Actually the title is not quite accurate because 46 years ago I was lucky enough to go on a school educational cruise to the Mediterranean. It cost my parents £52 which was very hard for them to find back then,we were shown photos of the wonderful ship we would be travelling on the SS Uganda which later was used as a troop ship during the Falklands war.<br />
But when we arrived in Genoa on a Laker aircraft back in 1966 it was the SS Devonia which we boarded for her last voyage before she was scrapped, and conditions were very basic.<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_14QQ6iDKQA/UFeXNaW1_hI/AAAAAAAALYM/EH9dmSANqtU/s1600-h/Devonia01%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Devonia01" border="0" height="415" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qN_sPDMtwl4/UFeXPClCw5I/AAAAAAAALYU/1lsv3A9krbI/Devonia01_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Devonia01" width="644" /></a> we were supposed to have lessons each day on the ports we were to visit,but to add to the excitement we got caught up in a dispute between as I remember Cyprus and Turkey,and were diverted.<br />
We went to Dubrovnik ,Venice,Malta,Palma,and Tunis where fair haired 13 year old girls were quite a novelty.We were supposed to go out in groups of Six ,but we seemed to go in pairs,can you imagine girls of that age being allowed to roam free in foreign countries today. My best friend Sue and I both had Kodak cameras ,the type that folded back into a flat pack,<br />

Sue had a larger camera because her father was the chief photographer at the local paper.<br />
I remember the trip with so much happiness, we all ran riot on the ship as lessons were abandoned , we bartered in Tunis and even went to the cinema, visited a pharmacy in Dubrovnik the oldest in Europe with its wonderful glass jars,I hope it survived the war years later,learnt how to blow glass in Venice, and had a ride in a Horse and carriage in Malta. We were only allowed to take a small amount of spending money ,but we did so much roaming free and even came back with lots of gifts.<br />
At the end of the cruise we were allowed to take what we wanted from the ship before it was scrapped,and i think I had a metal chain from the bunk beds.I can remember almost every detail including the lunch pack we were given when we first arrived.I did not intend to write so much about that cruise back in 1966 ,but the memories just came flooding back.<br />
And Back to the present day<br />

I wanted to make a small gift for my wonderful friend Trine <a href="http://www.timeouttravel.dk/tot/forsiden.html">http://www.timeouttravel.dk/tot/forsiden.html</a><br />
who was relocating from Denmark to the isle of Lismore for three months,<br />
The cottage was going to be very small so I thought I would create something she could hang up ,outside if necessary.<br />

I used a thin cotton onto which I printed words that I thought might relate to Trines Venture in Scotland. The flags ended up travelling around Scotland as Trine had to relocate to Pittenweem, in Fife, and they are now flying in a beautiful part of the British Isles.<br />
Please take the time to look at Trines website,and the walks she organizes.<br />
As I have mentioned before I am taking part in a journal swap with seven other woman ,Lynn from Cambridge wanted us to participate in a collaborative painting<br />
this is how it started out.<br />

we all had to fill in squares,as we wished.<br />

And this is how it looks after travelling to Italy,Denmark,Sweden,Norway and the UK.<br />
Lynn is very Happy with how it has turned out.<br />

I am now working on the last journal which belongs to Palma, and then I should be getting mine back within the next few weeks.<br />
I may have mentioned that my youngest Son is getting married in August,and it is going to be a registry office ceremony followed by a reception in a local village hall. Cream tea and handmade cakes in the afternoon,followed by a live band and buffet in the evening,<br />
I decided eventually to wear white linen trousers with a linen blouse in a very pale shell colour. Here in the UK shops stock winter clothes in July and everything summery has been in the sales,so I had difficulty buying a hair ornament in the right colour.<br />
So I made my own<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-AOgWKoqRPUc/UBbluV280NI/AAAAAAAALKs/BJBEDkBKug4/s1600-h/IMG_7476%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_7476" border="0" height="482" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-WoiHlS1TG5E/UBblvlZbR8I/AAAAAAAALK0/S4xKGlsTwgE/IMG_7476_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_7476" width="644" /></a><br />
I cut several layers of cotton with three different Sizzix dies.<br />

This was the colour ink on a scrap piece of cotton before being diluted<br />

We have had three months of almost non stop rain,and although it has done very little for tourism, and farmers it has helped our earth bunding blend in.<br />
You may remember back in March /April we formed a earth mound around our fields.We were having problems with Gypsies dumping sick and pregnant horses on our land.<br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-L_GAoVsxYYo/UAxyloAsXNI/AAAAAAAAK9A/gDIBRP82HHA/s1600-h/IMG_6731%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_6731" border="0" height="482" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cXVFWrToSMQ/UAxyo-sjlLI/AAAAAAAAK9I/yvMMEy599tU/IMG_6731_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="IMG_6731" width="644" /></a><br />
this was the damage they were doing to access the fields<br />

Almost a month has passed since my last blog,and i do not seem to have created very much at all,I have cut back on swaps because I fear not meeting deadlines.<br />
But I have made twinchie books for the swap hosted by the very talented Sonja <a href="http://artfrommysoul.wordpress.com/">http://artfrommysoul.wordpress.com/</a> over at milliande.<br />

this one was made from a vintage book of Italian art . I used a small Sizzix die cut bird for the cover and then covered it with aluminium tape which was coloured with alcohol inks.<br />

Brixham is well known for its fireworks and this year the new Brixfest team put on a magnificent display.</p> <p>This video is a small taster from the end of the display</p> <p><a title="http://youtu.be/862rmQCQOf8" href="http://youtu.be/862rmQCQOf8">http://youtu.be/862rmQCQOf8</a></p> <p>Sunday the weather was much better ,bright and sunny although showers were forecast. I was really looking forward to the arrival of The Red Ball</p> <p>Brixham is a very small quaint fishing port ,and the thought that this art project was coming to town fascinated me. I have to be honest some so called modern art installations leave me cold ,empty buckets in empty rooms,piles of rubbish,or a pool of urine in a empty space actually make me a little angry.</p> <p>I had never heard of the <a href="http://redballproject.com/">http://redballproject.com/</a> until I saw it on the weekends programme. but once I knew it was coming I wanted to be there when it arrived.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kRkDnqDEwYY/T9PIgFkcoCI/AAAAAAAAKp0/O8seD2679a0/s1600-h/DSC_0059%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

Not a lot of crafting going on,not sure why perhaps the continuing wet weather is to blame.<br />
We still have the horse problem, last week they were put back into our fields,so the Saga continues.I have decided I will not let it get to me like the last time.<br />
This weekend was the annual Pirate festival in Brixham Devon, Saturday was very cold and wet,and early evening I walked to the small beach at high tide.<br />

I love the smell of wet pebbles and seaweed,and the sound of the waves.<br />

The wind had dropped by this point so I was not at risk of becoming too wet.<br />

We are on our own dealing with the problem as the law in this country does not make Fly Grazing an offence. It is causing a great deal of stress and we are never sure what we will find when we wake up.</p> <p>The horses are in a very poor condition.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-iQyfdjRmSvk/T2eotfr3jPI/AAAAAAAAJmg/tTfND7surH4/s1600-h/DSC_0017%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;
