A Friends' Gathering!

 Hello Blogging Friends and Visitors, how're you all doing, fine I hope and looking forward to the weekend. We are going to a concert on Saturday evening, by the Inverness Symphony Orchestra, it's their inaugural concert in this name as they were formally The Ness Symphonia. It's a lovely piece of music called The Land of the Mountain and the Flood, a Scottish composer, Hamish MacCunn, based on one of Sir Walter Scott's poems. So we are looking forward to that.

Thank you for your lovely comments on my last calendar page, I so much appreciate them. I'm back today with my April page,


   Once again I've used all Lavinia stamps and Elements Ink. Gel pens and Stickles for sparkle.

I do wish I was better at taking photos, anyway it is what it is. 

That's all from me for now, have a lovely weekend whatever you get up to and stay safe,

Peace and Hope!

 Hello to you all, and welcome to my blog, and I hope you are all keeping well and not experiencing too much of the snow. Our mountains have had some but not at ground level thankfully.

Floating!

 Hello Everyone,  hoping you are well, and enjoying life.

Loads of rain for us over the last 24 hours, and high winds.  Apparently snow is forecast for sometime tomorrow. 

Unfortunately our heater is not playing ball, again,  so it's got  to be replaced.  It's belting out heat,  even when on standby.  Had the electrician out twice and it seems it would be just as expensive to get parts sent from Germany,  plus the wait,  so a new one was bought today.  However, getting a slot with the electrician will take over a week,  they're awfully busy 🤨. Just dreading the leccy bill now 😥

Anyhoo, here's my latest journal page 


This is Jandlar from Lavinia Stamps,  with sea foliage and little shoals of fish Elements ink,  Wink of Stella and sticker sentiments. 

Thank you for your lovely comment on my last card. 

That's all from me for now,  take care 

Love and Hugs, Kate 💖

Wrap up Well!

 Hello Friends and Visitors, I hope all's well with you, and that life is being kind. We are living quietly here, just waiting for Spring to arrive. The lovely little Spring flowers are up ad about but, being battered with wind and rain.

As usual just a quick post to show a coloured page done way last year,


This page was from Rita Berman's Winter Walk, and now I have no recollection of which pencils I would have used. I've put some stencil work in the background.


Well that's all  from me just now, take care of yourselves,
