Been a while, but I know you will let me off! We have been so very very busy preparing for the house move which has suddenly appeared from nowhere. We have spent 10 months up to now doing up our little 'bungy' and then all of a sudden we have a date. A week tomorrow we have to move. I'm looking forward to it but dreading it if you know what I mean. After living here for 25 years all but 4 months, things will seem strange. I'll let you know how we settle....
Here's what we did today in the class I taught at Grimsby Crafts. A simple little tile plaque using lots of embossing folders and die cuts. The subtle colour combination was inspired by Polly's scrapbook page from last week. We will be doing a more in depth version of these as a full days class in the near future.
Back to the house move. This is going to be my little craft space. It is still in it's early stage at the minute and now on hold as we really must get the inside done.
The bay window has been 'recycled'. It was originally the front window of the house. I think it will be lovely looking out onto the garden while I am crafting away.
This is looking in from where the double doors will lead from the garden into the room. It looks big, but it isn't really, it's just how the photo made it look. Big enough though, about twice as big as the on I have now. I can't wait till we can do some more work on it. I'll keep you posted.
I will probably not be blogging for a while after this post as Paul is off from tomorrow and we will be busy, busy, busy! Plus we will not have the internet for a while when we move.Oh and while it's in my head, I will be hosting the June challenge on Crafty Individuals blog at the end of the month so keep a look out for that. I have had my design pieces done for a while now as I knew I needed to be organised for it. Hopefully I will be able to suss out how to schedule my post for the 1st June????? Fingers tightly crossed for that eh?
Thanks to all of you for following and commenting, It means a lot to me!

HI Sue,
Your plaque is lovely with lots of texture.
I have finally played with the first, of probably many, CI Stamps, the patterned birds from my first shipment for the studio. Terrific stamps.
Your craft room is going to be fantastic- to see the garden will keep you inspired.
It is a huge project for you, building a house.
Enjoy the challenges and then the result.
Your Aussie friend

Hi Sue.
Your tile plaque is just beautiful and so is your new workroom. I love that you recycled the window, how amazing is that?
It will feel strange , but before long, you'll think you always lived there.
It sounds wonderful! It will be hard work, but enjoy it...

Projects like these are quite exciting. Recycled or not, that bay window is looks quite well in its new spot. Once the whole thing is done, you'll have something that you can be proud of.
I think you did an awesome job explaining it. Sure beats having to research it on my own. Thanks
