Hippy Chick second parts

Hi everybody,
I'm back with the next parts.
Here in UK it's a holiday weekend and it's a hot one ! The temperature has gone up again and we're having a long sunny weekend. Just a shame I'm spending most of it at work...but independent woman that I am ...the bills have to paid and I have to make my millions (I wish,lol)

I have started to get some art and craft supplies to start making Christmas presents. I know it's early , but making yourself takes longer than just buying a gift . So I have to make a start to get it all done in time.
 Gardening is still taking up a lot of my time and it was time to get some more seeds into the earth for autumn and winter plants. And the hot weather now again makes sure I have to go out and water all those plants.

I will get some art stuff done eventually again... if we have a rainy day,I guess. We only had short showers for months now, and I'm actually looking forward to those autumn storms , rain and getting cozy with my art supplies. I'm looking forward to colorful tree foliage and having more time again to paint, letter and craft.

But for now it seems gardening is taking up the time for art ....so I will move on to Hippy Chick.

 I made another detailed preview and a quickpage.

And here the next links for you.

There will be another part next post , and I will have to think about which kit to give away next again.

So until then ....
enjoy and stay crafty ;)

Nightshift recovery in HippyStyle mode ;)

Yawn ! .... Good morning. Never mind it's afternoon here but for me it's morning. I'm just having my first cup of coffee after finishing nightshifts this morning. For me the weekend begins today after this coffee has started to kick in !
It's been a busy week at work and I was glad to be able to relax after housework and cooking. Needless to say I didn't get much done in the art and craft department.

The mornings and evenings have been a lot cooler than before and I actually got out those warmer tops and hoodies. On the bike , cycling , they are needed early in the mornings !

And it was time to treat myself to a new pair of boots to keep my feet dry and warm when the rainy and cold season begins. Not the price of Doc Martins but the look , and real leather as well. Love these new boots from Amazon:)

I'm hoping to get another Skillshare class and art work done while I'm off , but first it's catching up with "oh so beloved" housework and laundry.

So now it's straight to the new kit.

Introducing Hippy Chick

Lol, I found a layout I made with this a few years ago. Yup, this is also an ex store kit.
It has 18 backgrounds and 30 elements.
I lost all the detailed previews when my old laptop crashed and gave up its life , it seems. So here is one I just made.

I'll try to have more detailed previes next post.
Here is the first 2 links (will be 5 in total)  ..

Disco Lights -the last 2 parts

Hello again,
Here where I am it's starting to feel like the beginning of fall The horse chestnuts are nearly grown and will start to fall soon, the elder, rowan and hawthorn berries are getting their colours and the blackberries are ready to pick. Weather wise the nights are starting earlier and are cooler than before , the wind is starting to pick up and although the days can still be quite warm and humid , the general feel is that autumn won't be far off.
That's fine with me :) It's one of my favourite seasons., the other being spring , when nature wakes up and colours appear after winter  As for autumn...I love the fall colours ! And the bounty of my pickings in the garden and nature.
I've been busy in my kitchen after picking blackberries making jam, fermenting carrots and cabbage, pickling cucumbers, cutting and drying herbs etc

I had hoped to have some more tomatoes so I could use some to make pasta sauces or tomato soup, but we seem to eat them too quick ;) But I still have more green ones on the plants ...so maybe there will be more for canning. I have also dug out half of the potatoes I planted in grow bags and they are yummie :)

The salad I planted is all gone , so I'm planting more seeds .The courgettes/Zucchini are growing and can be picked soon. I have fresh celery and chard. All in all , despite not having much room and planting in containers everything has grown well this year so far.
I'm also being a "domestic Goddess" and have cleaned all my windows , washed the curtains and will start to go through my warmer clothing , which are mostly packed away in vacuum storage bags. Here at the coast in UK the autumn winds can be quite cool and the hoodies , cardigans and lighter jackets will be needed soon.
I managed to make time for some painting this morning.
I call this floral painting "Summers bloom" , in a loose, almost abstract painting style, full of summer floral and colours.

I think this might be the first in a set of 4 paintings. One for each season of the year.
I already have some ideas for the Autumn themed painting .

Anyway.... time for download links. And maybe a little preview of what's next, because it's the last parts of Disco Lights already.

I'm not only an ex Goth , but also a little bit of a Hippie chick at heart. So I decided this will be the next freebie kit.

But for now it's still party time with Disco Lights. Here the last parts.

More Disco Lights ...finally !

Hi all,
I have to apologise for being late posting again, but a little nasty stomach bug got in the way and the last thing on my mind in between running to the toiletand stomach cramps was doing my blog post.
I feel ok again today , apart from the odd strange gurgle noise my stomach makes ...which is probably saying "feed me". But I'll still be careful what I eat today. Let's face it : another day of "almost fasting" is not gonna hurt and hopefull get rid of another pound on the scale ,lol.

I found some time for another art project though..

It started with some circles and watercolor...

...and slowly developed into this...

And the final painting ! I'm happy how this turned out :)

The weather here is turning more autumn like in the moment. We had strong winds, lower temeratures and rain showers mixed with sunny periods.
I'm not complaining. It means less watering the plants outside and less sweating.

I also got the new coffee table to match my TV unit. Much better than the glass and steel monster I had before.
I think the next purchase will be the matching book shelf with bottom drawer. My old one has two dawers and they are falling apart and don't open properly. But it's not real wood , unlike these new pieces. So time to replace this cheap chip board stuff!

And now to the 2 downloads for this week.

If you missed the detailed previews and part 1 , they are all in last weeks post.
You have 2 more parts coming ...

And now I will plug in my external drive and see what kit I give away next...

Until next post
