hello!! im sort of back...charlie is kindly lending me her laptop to write this post however my photos are on my computer which is still being very temperamental :(
after 3 months attempting to fix the old dinosaur [it keeps shutting down...very frustrating when you just get a page loaded] but hopefully we'll have a new one by Christmas.
i really have no idea where to start, its been so long..... so will start at the most recent.....i got a bit hooked with sugar skulls over Halloween and had fun drawing these art journal pages and an atc. i just like drawing the pattern, some are all paint but then i got the copic el cheapos out and just enjoyed the coloring in....
the background in my journal is from our stamp making day with the mixed media gals :) we made heaps of rolling stamps from paper rolls and foam, string etc........a really fun day...
.....
atc....i think the background is from Les .......
i have been painting lots of little faces on linen to use with some sewing projects...they aren't colorfast but i love adding funky little bodies to them...
i have also been invited to a collaborative cloth project with some very talented stitchers...
heres a sneaky peek of mine, ive really enjoyed getting into some handstitching......
both my girls have now officially finished exams and their courses. im really proud of them and excited for the next stage of their lives....
hopefully i wont be this long til the next post. now im off to try and get my photos to load.... which i did....only shut down twice...i am still trying to keep up my blog visiting but its bit hit and miss as to the blog commenting....:(

Hi there Jenxo, so good to see you post but I know you have been having major problems. Puters are great when they are working. Sounds like you need to get a new one, they don't last forever.
I am just wiped tonight from painting. I decided to quit early tonight,my back was telling me to.
One more show and that will be it for this year. Then hopefully back to paper. I miss playing with mixed media, can't wait to dive in again.
Take care girlfriend. xo
