Naughty Turtles

This was taken when we went to the sealife centre in Brighton last month.

look what i made

Getting back to normal

Well i hope so.
Dom went away at the weekend for a few days with my brother and his wife to the Isle of Wight.
I stayed home as it was the weekend of my crop.
The crop was very quiet but we had a good day and everyone enjoyed themselves. I taught a fab canvas (that i will upload a pickie of as soon as i have one)
As it was my weekend of freedom i had a date with a guy i met online and have met once before. We have been texting and talking most days and get on really well. Anyway he ended up in hospital (no it wasn't anything that i did). He's fine now but has to take it easy for a while.
We will see each other as soon as we can.

Last day of school for Dom tomorrow. so that means he's home for SIX WEEKS. What fun.
Shouldn't be too bad this year as he is booked into a play scheme for 3 weeks of it. He will be picked up and dropped off everyday. It will be really good for him.

Saturday is my brothers birthday which also means its the anniversary of my mums diagnosis. Its been 3 years now. We never thought she would still be here now. So its a big family dinner then, i think its going to be Chinese.

Now i need to sort out a child free weekend to make up for this one. Wish me luck

I am really pleased with this.
The photos show the Magic ATC Holder that i designed and made to teach at my crop on saturday. It looks really effective and is easy to make.
There are a few kits left over that are now up for sale at £5 including P&P (thats uk price)
If you would like one email on bellatheboss@yahoo.co.uk

6 x 12 LO

I have just finished my first 6 x 12 LO and i really love this size. I really think its a lot easier and i will being doing lots more like this.
This LO is for my 30th birthday and i have to finish the journaling on it.
The reason why I have used circles is because of the UK Dare blog called Collectively Yours. This week the challenge was to use cirles or a meaning of circles.

Online gallery

I have an online gallery to show all the stuff i have made so feel free to pop by and have a look.

Class sneak peek

Here is a sneak peek of my class for the next Cropping With Friends crop. I've really enjoyed doing this. I used Basic Grey Stella Ruby. I have kits made up (well nearly) and i may have some for sale after the crop.

Card for week 14

What car are you?

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.
