Body and Movement!

Hello my Crafty Friends and anyone else who happens to visit, I hope all is well with you and that you are enjoying some good Springlike weather.  It's been rather nice here today and I got a whirligig of towels out, I'm turning into my mother, my main concern is getting the washing out and dry, and commenting on weather.

Thank you all for commenting on my gift box, it's very kind of you and I appreciate and welcome them, the encouragement is great.

Alistair has been a good boy over the last few days and has managed all the chores I asked him to do, and with out much of a to do from him, so he is getting out to play tomorrow with a hillwalk with his friend.  I feel we managed to make quite an inroad with a bit of maintenance, and I only had to ask twice, usually it gets to the stage of nagging over a number of weeks, anyhow I'm pleased and Alistair is basking in my praise, funny how you've got to that, yet all the things I do go unnoticed, do you know what I mean ladies?

I've got a card for you today, hope you like it;
I've been wanting to use this stamp for a couple of weeks, it's an Indigo-Blue set free with a magazine, and the whole set is fab
Stamped with Versafine Ink and onto card cut with an Xcut die
First Editions Sea Breeze Paper
Gold Shimmer Card
Black Card
Evergreen Bough DI ink
Gold lace from Hobby Craft
Creative Expressions Gems
I felt that the image should make the statement, and didn't need any more embellishments.
The image reminded me of when I had really long hair and when I went to the hair stylist, she would flick my hair out like this and say what great body and movement there was in it.....she would say that now though.

That's me for now, I'm having a rest from the cooking today, my lovely hubby is on the case, he's recreating the first meal he ever made me, sausage, cauliflower and cheese sauce, and potatoes, there was a weightwatchers pudding, boy what can turn a girl's head, but we're not having the pudding tonight. Sill it's lovely to have your dinner made for you.

Bye for now

Hi Kate
Sorry I'm late.
Gorgeous image and card. Just the right amount of embellishment.
I too am obsessed with trying to get the washing out and watching the forecast. I too have a hubby that thinks he's Muttley and deserving of a medal for doing something once, that I do every day. . . . .ya gotta love em eh?
Take care.

Oh Kate, you have gone all Artsy with this one, and I love it. The image is striking and the sponging is beautiful. Men, can't live with them, can't live without them. They just don't think the same as we do! It is exhausting and frustrating......I hear ya girlfriend!

Your card is beautiful Kate, I love the image and the way you sponged around it. It is stunning. I laughed about your comment about thinking like your Mother, I was just thinking this the other day. I never thought this will happen, but it does.
