Spanish book club weekend

wonderful 3 days in Spain with my book club...staying at my folk's villa, beautiful deep blue skies, hot sun, tasty fresh fish and great company........who needs books? Thank you mum and dad!

birds and cups

Here are some paper collages that I did while in Spain...2 days of cloudy skies and a bracing wind was enough for me to get out the scissors and the glue stick....thought the tea cups would make a nice tea towel?

more garden bracelets for spring..

ore bracelets for the Etsy shop which has been sadly neglected for far too long...these 2 bracelets are not the usual bangle style that fits all wrist sizes, these fasten at the wrist with a little bobble button and so fit snugly instead of twisting around..will be in the shop tomorrow.

La Plaza Nueva Granada

ow here's a sweet coincidence.....Saw this beautiful cardboard model of the Santa Anna church in the toy Museum one rainy morning in Bethnal Green...and then here I was at the real Santa Anna church in the Plaza nueva during Easter week!

gorgeous Granada

Thought I should post something rather than the gaping hole that this blog has been in 2012...Semana Santa in Spain is amazing to be part of and this year we went to the magical Granada and saw some truly beautiful sights.....

appy mothers day! I shamefully forgot it was mothers day today but my lovely children did nt.....a beautiful handcut card that Rob Ryan would have been proud of and a spectacular gateau....

So long since I last posted anything....My lovely Fran bought me that beautiful American photo booth book and it got me thinking about collaging faces ...love the way photo booths capture the head and shoulders and the snapshot of an expression...
