A first Tangle

A few weeks ago we made a trip to Crabapple Cafts at Frodsham to see the lovely Rosemary Merry and Nigel and while we were there Rosemary introduced us to the basic art of Zen Tangling. Now I'm hooked!
Thought I'd show you my very first tangle

I thoroughly enjoyed completing it and love that it came with me to the hospital waiting room, the railway station, the front of my car and out in the garden during its development. A well travelled tangle indeed.
Thanks Rosemary for introducing us to such a calming and creative way of filling a few moments!

We're lovin' ink again!

Here's what I've been playing with over the last couple of days - the samples for the next Lovin Ink workshop at Samuel Taylors, Embsay on the 6th of April

What a joy to play with these wonderful stamps and get to practice a few new skills with Tim Holtz Inks and embossing folders! Loved every minute.

I wonder if you can guess what is in the box? - no I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to hop over to Lovin Inks blog to find out!

This is going to be a popular workshop (I can feel it in me bones!) so don't wait together it booked if you fancy having a go at this and the matching card we will be making.

All info on the workshop is on the Samuel Taylor website

Lovin' Ink in March

Well march sees us hosting another Craft Retreat in the Yorkshire Dales and we have been busy planning menus, ordering food and altering books to show you just a hint of what we will be doing all weekend.

These uninspiring books have been given a little brush up to start a new life of their own.

Such fun to be had with Arnold book and a Stanley knife, although I did have to take a deep breath and a gulp before I attacked the old tomes.
Check out the Lovin Ink blog to see how Janet has altered hers!
Hope your having a great week
