An old one but it came back to me last night in my dreams

Any moment, any saying, any being
Always here and always seeing
But never really knowing
the things we are doing, 
but always going.
Going on and going up
flying so high
All that ever keeps us going
a chance to touch the stars.

I'm a bad blogger...

But always wanting to do better. Occasionally I read other blogs and it makes me go "Ooh, I have one of those. Oh, bugger, it's been weeks since I posted."

I'd say once again, that I promise to do better, but it sounds a little insincere, but what I will say is I promise to do better by myself. So, today, I shall post a few things I've been doing recently. First up, I got a new die for my Big Shot. I splashed out on Tattered Florals which are just gorgeous and I want to play with them all the time. I decided to play with some denim that I have and I made some flowers. There are layered up with an offcut of a net curtain. and stuck together with my hot melt glue gun (fantastic purchase from The Works for only £2.99). The denim is various jeans that have holes in which I keep in a bag for craftiness.


I also bought myself a lot of necklaces in sales recently and have pulled them apart and used the pieces to create a few new ones. My most recent one is this which I love. It's a piece of organza ribbon with various charms tied on and then I have made a fairly simple slip knot for getting it on and off. I've left the ends fairly ragged as I quite like it like that, gives it a partially finished look which knowing me and my art work seems quite apt.

That's all from me for now, hope to see you soon x
