Good Morning Ladies,
Yesterday was a beautiful looking day, the sun was beautiful, my goodness it was cold though! After Paul finished work (from home) he managed to get all my pots in the greenhouse, just in time as between the girls getting home from work and 6.30pm (about 2 hours ) Lucy's screen was frozen and had to be scraped.
I sat at my desk from about 11am, but didn't start crafting until about 2pm, I was looking at River cruises, we watched someone doing a review of one and it looked lovely, so I started looking into it, picked one that we liked the look of, so went to look at finer details, dates etc, only to discover that they don't cater for people with 'Poor Mobility ', they have no lift, no accessible rooms, even if it weren't for stairs (which would have been a no no anyway) they wouldn't accept me on crutches either as you have to be independently fit to evacuate if necessary, which I do understand but its still disappointing. I will try other companies to see if they have different options. I've definitely seen people on mobility scooters on cruises.
When I did start crafting I decided to create Thrinchies, so I went to YouTube and crafted along with Tracy Evans.
I covered the Thrinchie in Blueprint Sketch, then stamp the flowers onto the background using White acrylic paint. It gives you a light outline of the image, I then painted over the flowers with Acrylic paint and a paint brush. After drying them I took a diamond stencil, spritzed with water and then laid it over the thrinchie, I took a piece of kitchen roll to blot it, lifted the stencil and allowed the water to air dry. I took a script stamp and added little bits of stamping in Versafine Clair Twilight ink, the next step was to add some colour to the flowers, I used Indigo & Washed Denim pencils to add some colour and shade. A few white splatters finish the Thrinchie.
Part 2 tomorrow!
I hope that you all have a lovely day,
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx

I love the Thrinchie I really must start doing some
ReplyDeleteDon’t give up on your search P&O and MARELLA definitely cater for wheelchairs etc As long as you book it properly and don’t assume that stuff is in place eg you can book a table in the buffet for wheelchair access on MARELLA and I noticed on P&O that they had members of staff on hand in their buffet The restaurants on board both ships definitely accommodated “poor mobility” Don’t give up coz I’ve witnessed it
Take care everyone xx
