And Hippy Chick's last part

Hello,
I normally wanted to post yesterday , but our almost 19 year old cat Sam passed away yesterday. Needless to say I was not in the mood to think of blog posts.
I just came home from work and wanted to shout "Hi Sammy ,I'm home !" ...until I remembered he isn't here anymore. Force of habit....
It feels too quiet and empty. We used to have 3 cats ...Dusty passed away end of last year, Misty in March this year and now Sam as well.

They all had long good lives with 17 -19 years old, but I wish they could have lived longer with us Especially Sammy, who was like my little shadow following me everywhere. He was the only male and truly mommy's boy ;)  I will miss him scratching at the bedroom door wanting his breakfast or standing by the kitchen door while I'm cooking , hoping I will drop a little treat for him, cuddling up on the sofa wanting to be stroked and even occasionally enjoying a belly rub. But it is what it is...life goes on !

With Autumn coming I decided to make some candles out of beeswax sheets. I have about 20 ready now and they'll make great little gifts as well with a nice candle holder.

Even painting is taking on an autumn theme now (and in front 2 of my candles in glass holders which I decorated with crochet lace)

I started another painting , but it's not finished yet with the events of the weekend.

Anyway... would you like to see what is coming next?

I chose a kit which means "End of summer-beginning of Fall " to me. It's called "Yesterday's Summer Garden"

This will be 6 parts starting next post.

For today it's the last of Hippy Chick though.

 I hope to be back on Sunday with the new kit . I mean...what else could happen, huh? (touch wood !)

Until then , have a great week !

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)  ..
