Green, Yellow, Orange

Yippeeeee!!! This afternoon my OH and my youngest son have started to insulate my summerhouse craft room. I think they are only doing it so they can get me out of the house and take control of the telly LOL :-) ... but I don't care 'cause once it's warm in my craft room I will get peace to craft away. I've got an old table in there the noo, but OH is talking about getting a piece of worktop to make me a full length desk and putting a wee shelf up for my CD player and speakers. OH and son have even got me a portable TV/DVD that I can have up there too.... now if he puts a bed in there I will really feel like they want rid of me. LOL :-0

OOOO I'm getting so excited once the walls are done I will have to give them a lick of paint before I can start crafting. It will be my own wee domain, I'll be able to put what I want on the walls, and even leave it in a crafting mess when I'm in the middle of some creation. Now some people would think I'm sad for getting so excited about a craft room, but I think all crafters will understand the need for that wee place to let their inspiration flow.

Now for my Her Space:My Space photos.....................

OH was off work today (Tuesday) so we went for a run in the car up Crieff way........ a well needed countryside fix...... we stumbled upon Drummond Castle Gardens .............. How can you stumble upon a castle??? well we didn't know it was there until we saw the sign, so we decided to take a wee peek. Once we went down the tree lined drive to the castle it cost us £4 each to walk round the gardens. I would say it was well worth money and I will have to go back again in the summer to see it all in full bloom. My youngest son even enjoyed it and he took loads of photos for his college assignment.

more than a week blog!!!

The once a week blogger is back and it has been more than a week now since I blogged. I'm on holiday this week, but will that make me a better everyday blogger .... I don't think so!!! I am just not organised enough and I always have so much to do ......... :) So this is a bit of a long blog entry, one of the longest I've ever done.
At last that rare species ... a postman ... has just been to my door, yippppeeee it is my new quick battery charger and more batteries. So I should never again be heard screaming cause I've no batteries for my camera. Still waiting on a rubber stamp getting delivered, oh well the postman might venture out again tomorrow :)

Red

Show us something in Red in your space....

Off work and supposed to be giving my bedroom a good clear out, but I have been side tracked by HS:MS (well it is more fun than housework). I found a red rope light in my bedroom so I just had to use that for todays prompt. Now I don't know what I did to get this photos 'cause I took loads and was just fiddling about with the settings on ma camera. It is sitting on a white duvet so how did the background go black????? I still have so much to learn about my camera and photography .... I'm just a happy snapper :)

SOS ....... so show off Sunday has come around again....

My sunday afternoon was spent in a freezing cold field watching my 2 brothers, my niece and nephew race at the Autograss Racing. It was a day to remember as my niece had her first race win and my nephew became Junior Champion. It was the last meeting of the season, so they have 4 months now to get their cars ready for the next season. I really enjoy watching them race it can get very exciting and scarey at times. So my SOS this week is my nephew Scott in CS11 whizzing passed me.

I thought I would show off this one too...... :)

And here he is ..... Scott the Central Scotland Junior Champion ....... well done Scott :)

SPSHere we go...more self portraits! Have some fun doing them!!!

No more dark roots...... I eventually got round to dying my hair ... I've gone slightly darker with a reddish tinge and silly me has thrown the box out so I won't know what colour it is when I have to touch it up. This is also the first SPS that I have taken with my glasses on.....

Thursday was a sad day as the last pup went off to his new home, he has gone to live in East Sussex. I hope he travels well, he's got a good 400 miles to go. It's strange around our house without pups, so quiet, no wee pups to play with, no wee pups to feed. Every year I think to myself I'm not having pups again 'cause I get upset when they go. Then when it's time for Fearne to mate I get all excited about having a litter of pups again and I forget about all the work and the nights of broken sleep and the heartache when the pups leave ..... and I go through it all again!!!! I must be mad
Wednesday there was a buzz of excitement at my work (I work part-time at a sheltered housing court), two of the tenants were celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary. Harry and Joan have been married for 60 years, what an achievement, they were so excited and they had arranged a party in the evening for all their friends and family. During the day there was a presentation and the local press was there. After taking photos of just Harry and Joan the press photographer thought it would be good to get a group photo of the happy couple and other tenants and staff of the court. Well I tried to hide behind someone....I hate being in photos...the photographer was having none of that!!!! He told me to stand behind the seated happy couple and in between the 2 dignatories who had done the presentation....then he happily snapped away. Now I am dreading seeing the local paper in case he has used one of the group shots..... keeping my fingers crossed it is just the happy couple in the paper.

Now for my Her Space : My Space photos... been soo busy had to leave a few out again

These are the steps that lead from my decking up to the summerhouse aka my craft room which is in need of being insulated so I can use it through the winter without getting frost bite.

AutumnThe third season of the year. Show us 'Autumn' in your space today......

The hawthorn hedge at the end of my garden is laden with berries, not for long though as the birds soon munch their way through them all.

SPS, SOS & ATC's

SOS
When my oldest son was younger he wanted a telescope for christmas so he could see the stars. He got his telescope and I spent many a chilly night in the back garden looking at, and teaching him about the stars, planets and our moon. This was all before I had the internet, so I was always in the local library borrowing books on astronomy. If I'm out on a clear night I still look up to see the stars and the moon and they bring back happy memories of my son. I took this photo one morning when I opened my bedroom blinds and there was a near full moon in a blue morning sky. aaahhhh memories

SPS

I'm still not comfortable with taking photos of myself, but I suppose the more I do it the easier it will get. So this week it's my eyes ..... my daughter is always telling me to do something with my eyebrows and looking at this photo I think she is right. I still haven't dyed my hair to cover up my dark roots, maybe the next SPS photo will have my new hair colour!!!

Below are the ATC's which I made for September Swaps for Willow Designs and SSUP, they are Shakespeare, Friends and Falling Leaves.

SPS and catch up again!!!

Well I've been a very bad bad blogger again, so have been playing catch up again with my photos for HS:MS...... I've missed a few out

Card
A Piece of thick, stiff paper. Find 'card' in your space today.

SOS ... Sunday, September 30, 2007

SPS ..... Saturday, September 29, 2007...... Not a great photo, done in a rush............ my dark roots are coming through and I feel the need for a wee change in colour ........... but what colour? (I've been to the shops twice this week to buy dye and forgot to get it both times, I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on) LOL

CushionSoft furnishing to adorn a chair. Show us cushion in your space.

JugA container from which eases the pouring of liquid. Show us your jugs! A-hem.

I've had this jug for about 12 years now and it has never been used as a jug, it always has flowers in it. I remember when I bought it from Marks & Spencers it cost me £10, which I thought was a lot of money for a jug. Well I couldn't have felt that guilty about buying it 'cause I bought the large matching bowl, which was £10 too, and that is always filled with fruit.

SpongeA natural (often man made!) material to soak up liquids. Show us a sponge in your space......

Couldn't find a sponge in my house today..... hunted high and low. All I could come up with was my 23 year old daughters Spongebob Squarepants tin. She just loves him!!! :-)

DogMan's best friend. Have you got a lil pooch in your space?

Well this was an easy one, the only trouble was which dog to use....... so here are a few of the dogs in my space today!!!! :)

Our house is starting to get back to near normal now that 5 of the pups have gone to their new homes. The last pup has a potential home lined up, but he is off to the vets again today just to make sure his wee heart murmur has gone.
