Do I try again...


...??????????????????

Shhhhhhhhh, don't tell Blogger, I think I got another piccie posted - LOL

I've already told you...

...they are NOT slippers, they are BAFFIES.

But I can't show you any pics cos Blogger is throwing another hissy-fit (Bah, grrrrr, hurumpf, mawwahhhhhh).

Obviously, Blogger can't cope with me having lots of goodies to share with you so - I will try again - LATER............

Playing with...


...Felt.


This was a class called 'True Love' - loads of felt and embellies.
When I saw the class instructions and pic I knew straight away what photo I wanted to use. I was lucky that I have bought some of the recommended PPs at Ally Pally the week before so I was well away.
However, you know when you are certain that you have something but just can't find it...lol...well that was me and the felt. I was sure I had some felt that would be just right for this but do you think I could find it - don't be silly :o) Panic dash to the habby shop on the way to work the day before the class (hehehe).
I love this page but I'm not sure I would use felt for all the embellies again...cutting them out was real fiddly and sticking felt to the LO with out making a mess...well, you can imagine.
Still, it was a lovely class and I'm sure I'll use the general layout idea again.........

Cybercrop classes...


...have been such fun.



This was the very first class project - a box of memories. The class was created by Margaret from Artbase in Hornchurch - one very clever lady.

I really enjoyed this class and once I locate a few more suitable pics I'll be able to complete all the inserts.

Tried to load some of the other class project pics but Blogger is still being fussy about loading pics :o( Looks like I'll have to try separate postings for what I want to show you...

Let's try...



...AGAIN!!!
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I've got pics again.
Have tried several times to loads pics over the last week or two and although blogger has said DONE, nothing appeared.
These are pics from the first weekend of Cybercrop...

Final weekend of...

...UKS Cybercrop is approaching.

It has been great fun but also very exhausting trying to fit everything in (failing completely, lol) and work full-time. Have not managed all the classes but most of the weekday challenges have been achieved.

Here's some piccies...or not as the case may be (blogger has problems at the moment - poo!!!)

I'll try again later...........

How can 10 days...

...make such a difference?

The trip to Ally Pally on 30 Sept was fab - no problems with the journey and generally a great day at the show.

Trip to Ally Pally on 11 Oct was terrible.(grrrrrrr, hurumpf) - bumper to bumper traffic (not going anywhere fast) grotty foggy weather and a disappointing show...:o(

As the latest trip was on a weekday we gave ourselves an extra 1.5 hrs to deal with the rush-hour traffic on the M25 - didn't help much as it still took almost 3 hrs to get there. Finally got there, got parked and in. It seemed as if it was less crowded than normal (this soon changed) and the stands were in their normal straight row arrangement so Mum was able to look at stuff more easily than at the previous visit.

Once again, I noticed that a lot of the BIG names were missing and there really wasn't much I wanted to get - came away with a cross stitch mag and some cross stich fabric - grand total of £4.50 (spent loads more on petrol). Mum did better and got herself a good selection of semi precious beads **we know what we'll be getting for Christmas, lol**

Journey home was just as bad. Might consider going on a Saterday next year.........

Please don't nag,,,

...I know I've been a very bad blogger :o(

But the UKS Cybercrop is in full swing and there just ain't enough hours in the day (this is the bit where you all say "there, there, don't worry, we don't mind"...lol).

I'm learning soooooooo much **snigger** - did you know that in cyber world slippers are called 'baffies'??? - no I didn't either...

If you thought saturday night out at the Mecca bingo was exciting you obviously haven't played cyber bingo - 30 second delays between postings to the thread and constant hitting of the 'refresh' button don't do your blood pressure much good - and as for 'pin the tail on the donkey...perhaps we won't go there, LOL.

So, sorry if I've not paid you much attention but the cybercrop still has 2 more weekends to go what with it being the 5th Birthday of UKS n all...don't hold your breath waiting for me to drop by - I could be some time...........................
