Time For T Stands for 'Tuesday'.

 I've missed a few T for Tuesdays as I've either had dogs to walk, stay or sit with or I've been having fun with grandkiddies down in Cornwall!  The later being so much more fun so there's been no time to comment or blog. I keep telling myself, 'You have retired' but the only thing that's true to that statement is the 'tired' bit'... zzzzzzzzzzz! T for Tuesday is hosted by Elizabeth and Bleubeard over on Altered Book Lover -go and have a peep! The first picture above is my latest Charity shop mug....but it's empty!  That's because there's a recipe  inside and on the outside, to bake a chocolate cake in the mug! So of course I've just done that now....and after three minutes in the microwave...

Chocolate Yumminess! It says to add two squares of dark chocolate in the middle  of the mixture so it melts, but I think it could do with four!

If I had managed to play T for Tuesday last week, you would've seen this Charity shop Monster Mug (with a pocket for his cookies! Not chocolate ones as they melt!)

 Our few days away in Cornwall, near Padstow, were spent with Hubby filming the grandkiddies on the beach. The waves where rolling in and quiet high. It looks a long way out but moments later one of those little ripples came gushing over those rocks and filled their wellie boots!

A creepy house in Padstow looking out over the harbour. Sort of boasts Pirates and Smugglers! I wonder what it looks like inside!?

And looking out to sea was this metal Surfer....hoping the Tide is bringing in some big surfing waves!

Once back home, drinks and a family meal in a pub in Bournemouth and little Lola came with us! 

She ordered the drinks...
 

And watched what was going on perched on 'Uncle' Pat's Arm! (bil)

 She was also a great food Tester!

While we were in Cornwall, Mr Jinx stayed with Aunty Karen at her cattery. Here he is sleeping in his little house! That's it from me this Tuesday. Have a great day! Thank you for stopping by!

The Snowman.

I haven't painted in years...well, with dogs to walk all day everyday, it was very hard and a complete life changer! I'd come home and fall asleep! I should've started that adventure ten, maybe twenty years ago, omg, do I dare say it? Thirty years ago!? Anyway, I have actually painted. Had a fun day with the grandkids and well....
In lockdown or just before, hubby pulled down my old leanto green house and built me a small potting shed in the space, which I painted Urban Grey, I also painted the shed and most of the flower pots to match with the same wood paint and later, Hubby wanted to build a kind of car port attached to the garage and I insisted that all the wood for that was also painted in the same colour, including the new 'bi-fold' wooded doors he made for the garage... but I'm going off track now... (and so has blogger....how do I line up the next bit below, the same  as above????????)

To try and get my Crafty Mojo back, I've been watching crafty videos. No! No no! (No, naughty crafty people!) Craft videos, honestly!  I have quite a few papercraft favourites now but today I came across Michelle The Painter  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLNGE9ocHYY  and she shows you how to paint a lovely snowman in acrylic paints with a link to a free download of the same snowman. I haven't done any drawings or digis...and seem to have forgotten how to use my Bamboo Wacom, so on seeing this lady painting away, I decided to have a go, not with paint but on the Wacom. Digital. I opened it up with the free download Paintnet, as my poor old laptop can't download up grades any more, colours and tools were a bit limited but this is what I came up with. So...who's up for a freebie Wednesday any time very soon?

Niamh's Easter Card, Some Painting and a Spot of Pottery.

Hi  crafty peoples. It's very wet here, although we aren't anywhere near any of the flooded areas, thank goodness. Another month's gone by so it appears it's going to take a me quite awhile to get back into blogging everyday... so let's start with once or maybe twice a month!? (I will try harder! But I can't promise!) I would like to say hi to all my new followers on my other Digi store Blog but (I whisper this...) they all appear to belong to 'come met and see sexy girls' blogs.. so... I'll probably silently delete them!  As you can see, we've had the grandchildren a couple of times this month and Niamh is getting quite good at making cards and experimenting with other messy things!

 Of course Oliver's good at that too! So, I thought I'd add them here, seeing I haven't done much worth showing you at the moment. A couple of cold mugs of tea, a half eaten Picnic Bar plus a load of crafty stuff that just won't go  or stay where I put them... that's the trouble with moving my crafty stuff from my shed (now hubby's Man Cave) to the large bedroom and then packed away in the attic and now 'set free' to clutter the smaller bedroom again...(over the last ten years! Bloody Hell, where did the time go!) This is when I wish the walls were made of rubber, then things would squash in willy-nilly...or of course, I could have the bigger room back!
 Anyway!! Back to the crafty bit...

Niamh who is now seven, made the above Easter card, (Top Left) for her friend. Scalloped Edge card and Little felt bunny from TheWorks.co.uk. Easter Themes paper from Papermania. (the papers are years old so they may not make them now) I suggested cutting out the little Happy Easter tags and 3D-ing them using sticky pads to make them pop.

The painting (Top right) didn't quite come out the way I planned, but it was fun, and that's all that mattered!

The clay pottery painting (Middle left) is from a few weeks back. Oliver painted a guitar, which had to be RED! and Niamh painted a little night light fairy house.

 At the bottom...of this post that is...(sorry I've just stopped for a bit of a rest but then decided to go and sort out comments and spam.
 There was a few from 2017, which I've now added and  140 comments... that all needed deleting, some typed in Chinese....I mean...really?( I can't even manage English let a loan read Chinese!) There was another 101 in spam!
Anyway, I've added some more photo's of Niamh's two cards she made a few weeks back and of course Oliver wanted to make something but not a card.
 "What's in this box Nanny?"
"Umm...all my original drawings of my Digis," sez me.
"Can I paint this monster?" and as you can see... he did!
 Well, that's it! You wouldn't believe how long this took to type out and down/up load! I'd forgotten how to load pictures and to add links! But I guess that'll soon come back.... I'm just amazed that my old computer  who hasn't had a download or up grade for YEARS coz it's so old, has managed not to give up the ghost and die on me! Oops, touch wood... umm? should there be smoke coming out the back???
Thanks for popping by!
