Hellllo

Well finally got some pics of my shed...I mean craft studio uploaded to share with you all..as you can see, Mark is going great guns and I have taken these pics from various parts inside the shed. The legs belong to him...HONEST!!

All the walls and roof have been lined and then another wall put up to give a bit more protection etc.

Framework for first part of work space going up!

Nearly there!!

Shelves are now in on the right of my workplace and cupboard on the left

The view from my windows!

The view from inside looking back towards the house..you can just see Mark's baby shed!!(Yes mine IS bigger than his!!)

Mark's legs not been shown off to any advantage by those shorts...lol but here they are surrounded by,,,,,,,,ummmmmmm lots of screws!!

The frame for the worktop etc on the pther side, Mark calls it the messy bit where I will be stamping etc...

Theres a lot more done now so Ill take more piccies tomorrow!!

AND I made some cards

here they are...

This is a wedding card I made for someones next door neighbour's aunt's uncle's sister's wedding...it should be upright hearts going down the middle but I didnt get the angle right!

Another wedding card using the same bits n bobs with the bride and grooms initials

Finally a little pop out card with a cutsie fairy on for my sister in law's "almost" stepdaughter

I did make some more but ran out of room on my camera and had to get them given out to various recipients!!

WEll thats my blog for tonight, Ive had awful problems formatting and its taken FOREVER and my hubby needs a cuppa!!

Tomorrow I will show you the most gorgeous gift I got from our Tootsy!!

Nighty night X

Another post from the old MG

Gosh sounds like I was whinging in my last post!! I was looking at Google analyticals to see my stats and there were none. I know you ladies visit regularly, as I do yours too, I love to read them, and again, I dont post comments often, but you are all in my reader and its great to keep up with your lives. Mine is pretty slow at the mo...Ive been feeling really rough since my kidney stone blasting and have been leaving work early as I am shattered by lunch time (a bit like my stones...lol) havent done an awful lot. Mark has been busy in the shed and its coming along very well, although a long way from finished yet. WE had visitors all over the weekend, which was nice. Marks sister, her other half and his two kiddies. Friday night our friends Hayley and John came over for a meal for my birthday on Friday, but Hayley wasnt well either..cos.......she had a baby on Sunday!!!! He wasnt due until the end of the month and is in Special Care as he had a few problems, but is thriving now, so fingers crossed. I havent seen him yet, but hayley rings most days with his progress and we are hoping to see them tonight. I dont know his name yet, which has messed up my card idea for now....lol I think Alfie is going to be the final choice and Joshua as a second name. I am buying him a tree as a pressie (joshua's tree??) as he has had everything else from everyone else!! Im getting a japanese acer to commemorate his birth. I best get on with some work. I am exhausted already so cant see me staying much beyong lunch time...adios for now!!

AWOL

Blimey, not been here for a week...just havent felt up to it, but as I have just checked my visitor thingy, no one visits me anyway!!

Well the shed is coming along very nicely, Mark is putting everything into it.

I am still suffering so I am going home in a mo...There you go, my life in 3 and half sentences!!

Shed Blog Part 2 Day 4

Mark has had a day off from shed renovating today, bless him, he hasnt stopped working on it since Saturday morning.

had a rough day today, feeling really groggy still, but back to work tomorrow. Actually got round to watching memoirs of a geisha today...lovely film. I did doze off half way through,, but only cos I was lying down, and really tired!!

Another short n sweet one, so nighty night for now!!

Shed Blog Part 2 Day 3

No pics today, Mark as been really busy since we got back from the hospital. He is doing so well. Half the floor is down and all the insulation up, all sealed up, lock put on. Part of the wall has gone up too. He couldn't carry on because of the noise, which I'm pleased about cos like I said he hasn't stopped and I dont want him knocking himself out!!



Feeling quite yucky still. Kidney stone was over 1cm and had dropped out of the kidney and working down the tubes...no wonder I have been in agony last few weeks! Still, its gone now, lets hope its the last of them!
Been a bit naughty and ordered some stuff from arty miss which will be ideal for at least 3 of the scrap books I am going to be doing.




Managed to plait my hair tonight, I would love a French Plait but I still have lots of layers and it just falls out.



Day off tomorrow recovering, I have some cards to finish off, so will just get on with them.

Off to bed now and boy am I tired!! Later peeps!! XX

Shed Blog Part 2 Day 2

Well, Mark has done wonders. he is now lining the walls to make it warm and cosy and most importantly waterproof. WE painted the inside last night with waterproof wood stuff, to be extra safe. He's wonderful he spent over 12 hours out there yesterday, mainly in the rain, and dint stop until it was dark. He is the best husband in the world...bar none!! Owen was a great help too, and Marks friend John came over and helped...and I made a lot of tea!

Couple of piccies for you,,,

Mark and Owen painting the base of the shed with bitumen stuff to make it totally waterproof

Just over an hour later!!!

Looking good huh? WEll 24 hours later its looking even better! Windows are in (but one is being replaced with an opening one) and half of it is lined!! Im so excited!! LOL. Now going to ummm make another cup of tea!!

Shed Blog Part 2 Day 1

9.00 and the shed arrived...what a difference from the last one!! Mark has painted the bottom with bitumen stuff to make it last even longer. Its raining but we have got a huge plastic sheet hanging up to protect his hair!! LOL

Im just making tea and finding stuff to make cards for some orders, cos Im getting in the way!! I am going out to take pictures in a minute so you'll be bored stiff with a blow by blow account of the "erection". Rather a poor choice of words...LOL

Ok hope you are all warm and dry, doing what you want to do and blogging it all as you do it!! Laters!!
