Sophie's latest piece

💛🧡💜Happy Birthday Sonia💜🧡💛

Good Saturday  Morning Ladies,

Please join me in wishing our lovely Sonia a Very Happy Birthday, I hope that you have an amazing day my lovely, you deserve to be spoilt rotten today. XXX

Now I must apologise as I have a bit of a 'Proud Mumma' blog post today, along with a treat from Karen's past and Michele's magazine review of course!

First  up today is pictured above, it is Sophie's latest piece of art, all drawn by hand on her I pad in 'pro create' she hand drew each of the images of Scarlett Johansson as her alter ego Natasha Romanov or better known as the Super Hero 'Black Widow', Sophie took her idea from artwork for a movie, as with all of Sophie's pieces the attention to detail is just breathtaking. 

Thanks Sophie for allowing me to share your work today XXX

Lucy's latest work of art

Lucy has been really enjoying baking recently, her latest bake is Gooey Chocolate/salted caramel Brownies, oh my goodness they were 'to die for', they almost melted on your tongue, the recipe did say they were to serve 16 but there was no way you could have stopped at a 'mouthful'! We are all going to be a little bit larger after lockdown but Oh my goodness I am loving your new skill Lucy XXX

Matt

  Matt has started a new hobby since he has been 'furloughed', alongside his new love of gardening his started having a go at 'Pyrography', the Lion was his first 'sample' piece, it turned out brilliantly, which is how he has got hooked I think, he has created himself an extractor unit with a cardboard box and a tumble dryer pipe, so he doesn't have to breathe in the burning fumes. 

His second piece was the Giraffe which I love as you can actually see texture, his third piece is a Harry Potter scene 'the car following the Hogwarts Express over a Viaduct' you can see all the detail, this was his first go at lettering, which turned out really well.

I hope you keep it up Matt as your work is brilliant,  don't forget to water your plants though!! 

Thanks for allowing me to share your work XXX

Karen

Our Karen has kindly allowed me to share this piece that she created when she was just 10 years old!! Karen it is incredible, every stitch is perfect and there is so much detail, you must have been over the moon when Alan re-discovered it !  It just shows that you have always been really creative! I feel so honoured to be able to share such a treasure!

Karen's Description :

"This is the project I made when I was about 10 I think my dad may have helped me a lot hee hee He enjoyed doing it It’s one of those that you just poke the thread in Hayley from 'Craft Yourself Silly' does something similar with hessian called Proggy.
