Good morning Lovelies - wasn't it awful weather yesterday? Our boiler has packed up so we're without heating - so although the rain and wind are awful I'm just glad its not too cold!!! I had a bit of an adventure in the weather last night - I was going to a local farm to pick my kids up - they'd been to play with a friend after school - when I came across this vision - a tree had obviously partly come down in the rain and wind and was being chopped up by this lady with her chainsaw!!! A bit scary - but I helped her move the branches and then got on my way to the farm - when I was almost there it became obvious there was a huge wagon of hay being unloaded and I couldn't get by - anyway the man pulled the wagon forward and I plonked my car into this quagmire of mud whilst the wagon reversed and luckily then I could get up to the farm - only thing was I had to wait nearly 3/4 of an hour to get back out again! Not funny - but hey ho!!!Alls well that ends well!
Anyway onto todays Offering - its a tag - the challenge over at the sunday stampers this week is faces. So this is what I've made.
The stamp is from Inkylicious - some of the wooden bits are crafty emblies, the diecuts are spellbinders. The wording reads a stitch in time saves nine. I've used Distress stains antique paper and worn lipstick and spun sugar DI. Also wild Honey DI to stamp the face then overstamped in arcival black.
I'd like to enter my tag into the following challenges:

pinkleart: Faces

Finally I finished my scarf last night - I guess this is my stitch in time - and I'd like you to see it - I'm well chuffed!
Its made with Krystal knitting yarn - one ball, one scarf. isn't it just delicious!!!! Now I've ordered more wool in an attempt to make a few for my friends for Christmas!!!
Thats all for today folks - hope you have a good day - thanks for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon!!!
