Last night, it was off down that road to Chesters again - this time for this month's Rural meeting. We were going to learn about painting on glass. I really wasn't to sure about this - I just can't draw or paint - no matter how many times I am told everyone can draw if they just try!! However, I paid close attention as Sheila explained how to do it ....
Now please don't laugh too much when I show you my painted glass!
Oh go on then, it deserves to be laughed at. This is actually one of the things I doodle - a little pansy. Sometimes when people see my sewing, they say ' oh, I haven't the patience to do that' ..... well, I discovered I don't have the patience for painting on glass - tracing the design, sticking it inside the glass, then painting it - my doodle was enough for me!
Today, Malcolm and I headed up to Edinburgh, to visit the newly opened Hobbycraft store. There is an amazing amount of stuff - but I have to agree with my friend Tricia, who thought that although there are supplies for lots of crafts, it tends to be the basics, rather than specialist supplies - which I guess we will still have to get online. Malcolm got some art supplies, but this is all I bought ...
However, I made up for it when we went to Borders!
Did you notice that both these books were written by a Debbie - do you think if I change my name to Debbie I will miraculously become a fabulous knitter?!
