As Promised....

Well I've kept my promise and photographed the layout I completed at the crop on Saturday. I used my craft robo to cut the pieces for the snowman; the second time I've used my machine in two weeks which is good for me, poor Robbie Robo had been feeling rather unloved! I used a digital template again for the placement of photos and had it printed at Asda, but cut it up at the crop as it was too white. I'm really pleased with the overall effect and hope to do more paper piecing projects soon.

Manic Weekend

Boy, was it manic!

Friday Adam and I treated ourselves to a concert at Birmingham Symphony hall for a performance of Handel's Messiah which has to be one of the most inspiring and beautiful pieces of music ever written. As it was a classical concert, no-one was allowed to leave mid performance and true to form, I needed the loo about 20 mins in! I whispered my panic to Ad and got prodded in the back by a woman telling me to be quiet! How embarrassing!! The concert itself was fabulous, did my best not to sing along!

Saturday Was my monthly crop where a fab time was had as usual. I was one of Dawn's (see photo) minions helping to serve a full Christmas dinner which was yummy but I'm not looking forward to getting weighed tomorrow! I even managed to complete a layout but it's too dark to photo it properly tonight. Will do so tomorrow, I promise!

Sunday We were back at Symphony hall! This time as our youngest was taking part in a huge Christmas concert put on by children from schools in our area. I must say when they all sing together, it's quite moving, they sound wonderful. There was also the youth theatre, orchestra, electric violin, jazz, ballet and modern dance groups taking part.
