NO IDEA WHAT TO CALL IT

Hi Everyone

Another day when I don't know what title to give to my post !! 

Perhaps by the time I get to the end of writing if I will have thought of something .. .. or not!!  LOL!!

In the meantime here is my share of the day .. .




This used:

Image:  Hero Arts "CG137" Thanks Flowers
Sentiment:  Elzybells (sadly no longer trading)
Backing Papers:  Aimee Asher
My Trust Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Pinking Shears
Seed Beads
Ribbon from the Stash Box

I paper pieced my flower and leaves using the backing paper leftovers and all of those lovely swirls and butterflies are part of the backing paper . . .. I haven't stamped them on.

So that is me and my share for the day. 

Nice and early tonight as there are lots of jobs on the list for this evening.

Firstly getting the evening meal together, then cutting hubby's hair (nothing technical only a razor jobbie), and then a task which I am not too sure how well we are going to fair with.

We need to have an electrical socket installed but in order for this to happen we have to empty and move out a tall wall unit as the electrician needs to be able to get to the socket that is behind it.  Well this unit has been in place for years and years and years .. .. and sits in a gap at the side of a chimney breast.

But when I say it sits .. . that makes it sound easy to remove!!  But I know it won't be.  It took a bit of brut force to get it in the gap in the first place.  I can remember sitting on the floor and pushing the very bottom of the base with my feet whilst hubby pushed the top half. 

Once in place we have never taken it out again .. .. but now we will have to .. .. but how I have no idea .. .. eeekkk!!!!! 

Bet there will be a little spider or two behind it (and a mountain of dust!!).

Oh well!!

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    Well I'd call it Beautiful! Love the colors, the papers and the layout. So Lovely!
    Good luck moving that monster. A friend of ours were in the same predicament. After much tugging and pulling and not budging it they opted to cut a hole in the back of the unit. Ten years later it’s still there.
    Blessings Bernie
