In Between Days

Sunday.

After a lie in we headed to West Bridgeford for Breakfast out at 200° coffee house. It was really busy, but we timed it right to get a table. It was so nice to have the Sunday for ourselves. We then went into M&S to shop, we got what we needed and headed back home. It had gone cold and wintery in the time we had been out, and it poured with rain once we got home. Making us glad we had come home when we had. We cosied up and watched some TV which we don't get the chance to do normally. I've started a new book The Highgate Cemetery Murder, so I read a couple of chapters of that before it was time to watch Pottery Throw Down. The potters on that are amazing this time, with the odd exception, and the stuff they turn out is just stunning. It was lovely to have a Sunday off. 

Monday.

I watched the Tim Holtz live from Saturday evening, and it gave me a few ideas for cards and projects. I've started a few, but now I want to start making a few backgrounds using my oxide inks. Now I'm not doing a daily dyalog, I'm finding more time for my card making, and I'm really enjoying it again. I have had periods where I don't want to make cards but, the bug has bitten me again, and I'm trying out some techniques and digging out some products I've got buried in my stash. I love how Tim encourages you and inspires you to play with the stuff you already have, and although part of me is sad that he isn't going to be designing any more stuff, you can see he is enjoying being able to create what he wants again instead of having to promote what he has just bought out. He will still be doing lives, but just tutorials using products that are already out there in his range. I know I have enough stuff to keep me going for years. 

Kev's knee is still playing up, and I can tell he is in a lot of pain by the wincing when he moves without thinking. You know he is hurting when he takes tablets and uses the revitive to get the circulation going. However, trying to persuade him to go to the Doctors is another matter. We will see. 

He did manage to repot the succulent plant from Gertie into the freshly blood splattered Regan. I'm very pleased at how She looks.
