Sad loss of the King of Pop

Thanks to Roberta of A Mouse in the House for letting me use her portrait of Michael :-)

It came to us via a text message.

The way of the world today.

Confirmed by the TV bulletins.

Michael Jackson had passed away.

Blank stares fell over our faces,

as the various images appeared.

The fans began to congregate,

the sad news bringing with it tears.

A true 'phenomenon' in our life time.

He gave up his to entertain.

But all the money and fame in the world

proved little to gain.

So a fond farewell to the 'thriller'

You'll never be forgot.

RIP Michael Jackson.

The King of Pop!

Something old, shrunk and hopefully something new!

This is my step daughters jumper, or was. Somebody shrunk it so i thought, what can i do with that. First i cut off all the pieces and played around with them...
.
I played some more...and some more...and this is the end result! I don't think it'll hold any great weight but i am still pleased that i pulled it off and made something from what almost amounted to nothing or at least not as far as my step daughter was concerned. She thinks it's kinda cool too, quite something for a thirteen year old!

Have wings will travel

Gosh doesn't it look small now I've put it on here lol. This is my butterfly inspired by the one in my last post which in it's natural state i used as inspiration. I have to say i am quite please overall as drawing is not my thing and requires more concentration than i have spare ;-) but I've done it now and got it out of my system.What do you think?

While I'm thinking about it this is my 101st post, i had been watching out for no 100 and missed it till today so that's pretty good going and I'm still here lol.

I have lots of things in the pipeline including the item below, i set out putting these mini stockings together the other afternoon and the plan is to decorate the metal wreath with them once I've covered it with something. Never done anything like that before so hope it turns out ok when it's finished. Of course while i was doing it i thought what sweet little presents they would make for lots of my friends with children particularly if i could put the child's initial on it hence the letter sitting there, not sure i can pull that off yet so we'll see what happens.

Love is like a butterfly!

Ok that was just part of a programme song i used to watch but popped into my head when i went to fill in the title. On Tuesday we went to the Butterfly Farm in Stratford-upon-Avon. Have to say mum and i were very taken by the beautiful butterflies that were flying all around us and i was pleased to have got some lovely shots of them including this one that i just played around with using Paint Shop Pro. The reason for me experimenting was that Vistaprint were offering me a free bag with a photo of my choice but on arriving at the right page it was only free with one of their prints and a charge for my picture so i ended up ordering business cards and stick it notes for my new Etsy Store, check it out http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5669442

So i thought i would share my Butterfly picture with you as i think it's turned out rather nice :-)

Below that is me with my new fashion accessory complete with wings to fly away when it chooses lol, the butterfly stayed with me for quite some time during our visit but eventually took flight. Well worth a visit minus distracting child!
