Don’t forget…

Those of us who participated in One World – One Heart now have our own Flickr group. This is where we can share pictures of the giveaway prizes we received and feel inspired by each others work. Those who did not join in this year may like to pop along and view the photos, and perhaps get ready to join in next year. It was great fun! You can find the group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/owoh/

Meanwhile, keep crafting!

Tagged!

feb-7th-005-ed.jpg

I opened up my blog today and found that I’d been tagged!
Not one, but two of my dear friends, were keen I should take part
As I scanned the page and read the rules, my enthusiasm sagged
I’d done this once before I thought and for a repeat I had no heart.

Six unimportant things about me, is what I have to blog.
Last time it was weird and wonderful, what will it be the next?
Oh well, here goes, number one is safe, my love of cats I’ll log.
If I had to live without my cats , I’d be very sorely vexed.

Number two is how I miss my dog, she was a dependable friend.
She’s been gone five years, but none of us will ever forget her face.
Unimportant it may be but both my little pinkies bend,
My mother worried, no pianist me, but this was not the case.

That’s half my quota, oh come on …think! There must be more than this.
I know…my love of purple, lavender, or mauve, violet and pink.
Which leads on to my bag obsession. Kiplings I never miss!
And most of my bags are purple of course! Well what other colour did you think?

One more to go…gosh, what will it be. Perhaps it’s my poetry.
I try to write, with some success, and published soon will be.
So that’s it folks. Please no more games. A party pooper me!
Oh alright…perhaps. When the next time comes. You’ll have to wait and see!

So thank you Sarah and Kell76  -  I think!

 Now, these are the rules .

1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post these rules on your blog.
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your blog entry.
5. Let the tagged people know by leaving a comment on their blogs.

I now have to nominate six people. Help! Change that to four!

(For some reason none of the hyperlinks are not working, but you know who you are)

I think that will do!

A little snow…

The other afternoon, between falling asleep with my narcolepsy and replying to lovely emails from One World One Heart folk, I felt like painting. As you know I paint digitally at the moment, although once my confidence is better, I will attempt the real thing. So I tootled off to my Artrage page and decided a snow scene was what I wanted. Why? I have no idea, but we haven’t really had any snow to speak of here this winter, so maybe I was feeling let down. I don’t know. There is plenty of time left for snow though. It’s mild at the moment and we’ve had some gloriously sunny days, but I never feel completely safe from snow until the end of April. My daughter was born on 22nd April and I went into hospital as it started to snow and came out a week later (you stayed in a week in those days) and it was very bad, and very slippery. So…it could still snow!

This is the first snowscape I have done and one of only a few landscapes so far. I am reasonably pleased, but I wish the fence wasn’t bending so far backwards! I was pleased with the thicket and the blurring of land and sky.
