Bracelets for school fair.......

Here are some bracelets I have made for Saturday's school fair.

Chameleon pens and another Daisy

Another try with my new Chameleon pens. I am getting the hang of them now. ....

Christmas cards for school fair

These are the cards I have made for our school fair on the 6th of December.

Sparkly elastic bracelet

I bought some beads from Bead spider when I was at the NEC at the weekend and made this elastic bracelet.  The beads are Swarovski crystals 8mm and some nice spacers.

Chameleon pens and Elizabeth Bell 'Daisy' Stamp

This is my second colouring project with my new Chameleon pens.
This stamp is called Daisy and was designed by Elizabeth Bell. It used to be sold by Sugar Nellie. I don't know where you can buy it now.

NEC purchases....

We flew down on Friday night and spent 2 full days at the craft show.  Went with a list but as usual bought lots more.  This is our 3rd November visit to the show.  We have now learned that you go straight to the workshops when the doors open to have any chance of participating.  We had 4 workshops on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Here are a few photos of the weekend.

Reusable foldaway fabric shopping bag.

Hi made this bag for a friend as today is the day we Scots need to pay for all carrier bags.  I will be making more in different fabrics for presents.

New Chameleon pens

Bought these new pens this week from Create and Craft. Here is my first attempt.

Whitehall invitational Pairs bowling competition Aberdeen

I went up to watch the Whitehall invitational Pairs bowling competition on Wednesday night. I was approached by a woman who asked if I could partner her in the last round on the Friday and Saturday as her partner was away on holiday. I agreed.
I came along to play the first game on Friday night and David Gourlay was sitting in the club house. I didn't realise that the Scottish bowls teams were taking part.
On Saturday I met Darren Burnett with his Commonwealth gold medal.
We did well and finished 3/5 in our group and 6/15 overall. Our last game was against some of the Scotland ladies  team and we beat them by 1 shot. 
It was a great experience even though it rained all day Saturday.

Meeting Nick Nairn

My new Cricut explore. ..

My new Cricut explore came this week.  Can't wait to have a play.  Have bought a subscription to cricut.com so I will get access to thousands of designs. Also found svgcuts.com for downloads.

Pasta class at Nick Nairn cookery school!

Today I attended a pasta making class at Nick Nairn cookery school.  It was a great 3 hours......

New pictures eventually framed and up on the wall.......

Lilian and I again attended a few art demonstrations where you paint along with the artist while at the NEC in November. I have eventually got them framed and up on the wall!
The tree scene and rock scene are watercolours and the poppy field is chalk.
