A mixed bag ....

.... today, I've got all sorts of pictures to show and things to tell.

I'm back from a weekend away camping, it took a few days beforehand to organise the gear, and will take a few more to get it all packed away in the attic again.  I haven't crafted in a week and a half, must get back at it before we, sob sob, go back to school next week.

I was very happy to find out that my "Bon Voyage" Tilda card from a few weeks ago made the Top 5 on ABC Challenge - I got a blinkie for my sidebar (dances about a bit!).  I know I'm a saddo, but I really am happier to get a blinkie than a prize!!!

On my last post, I showed pictures of my desk after a book text flower-making session.  Inspired by my crafty friend Alicia, I decided to make a set of quite simple cards, and use the flowers on the front.  I wasn't going to ink and stitch, but it just didn't look right, so out came the applicator and needle, up went the timescale and here's what I ended up with:

I used some very old paper from a kit, cut the shapes using Nestabilities, the first time I've made shaped cards like this, great fun!!!  I made the leaves from my trusty Hero Arts set that I use all the time, and added some October Afternoon letters.  Here's a little close-up of one card:

We "harvested" our potatoes before we went away, one black plastic container yielded 25 spuds of varying sizes.  Haven't eaten them yet, maybe tomorrow.  Here they are:

And finally, here are a few pics from our camping weekend - we were away with the Mini Club, went for a drive up the mountains on Saturday, here are some of the cars just before a rainstorm hit:

And here's our little corner of the campsite, the Mini at the front is my baby!!

Now, enough dilly-dallying, back to the washing machine I go!!

Thanks for looking!
