Christmas Journal Entry #2

Phew!!! Took me longer than I thought!!! :) Maybe I should leave the crafty bits out ... I am a slow scrapper after all (found that out at the Cyber Crop!!). But have to say I LOVE that LO. Used acetate with stazon white opaque (over photo), snowflake eyelets, snowflake button and snowflake vellum sticker. The prompt today suggested we cut a paper snowflake ... well, I had three attempts and am absolutely rubbish at it!! So I decided I try my luck with a quilled snowflake ... first time ever for me to do a snowflake and you can see the wonky result! LOL.

Hogwarts craftiness for Twin Birthday Party 2017

Scenario - you promised your kids Hogwarts robes for their birthday party (which is of course a Harry Potter Party). However, you've left things quite late and then had to go to Germany for holidays. So, after you managed to finish all the pencil wands, mini cauldrons and most of the golden snitches, you decide to start on the robes... on the twins' birthday (the day before the party) at 5:30pm... But all should be ok... because the pattern you found says it will only take 1 hour to make ... Ok... I suspect somehow that's withouth ironing and cutting... or most likely that the lining fabric has the same width of the outer fabric so would be easier to cut?

It IS actually a very good pattern/instruction. I managed to get everything done like they said (mostly, but that's my measuring issue), h...

Most difficult one ticked off!! Yay!

Or at least I think that’s the most difficult item on my list, after a lot of investigating. In Scotland there are TONS of wind generators like those below. Lots of people are against them, they are demonstrating against them, but I actually find them calming, when there are not too many really. And they are more pleasing to the eye (mine at least) than the above ground gas pipes I’ve seen in East Germany when I was a kid (similar to the kind still out there in the USA). Anyway, despite lots of them around, I really wanted to get a photo of a proper windmill for the Photo Scavenger Hunt 2013. Those are surprisingly hard to find in Scotland, all of them seem to be transformed into Camera Obscuras or similar, like this one in Drumfries. And I missed the one at Wimbledon Common as suggested by my friend Sharon while we were down in London end of July. That one actually looks beautiful! Now… what is a woman to do who’s on a mission? She contacts her fellow geocachers, who are pr...
