The Ants are Coming

Monday Monday Monday,
always rolls around too fast! I’m not down to work Mondays, which is a relief, I don’t think I could handle a working day on the worst day of the week! Actually, I’m only doing 8 hours this week as I have appointments and such…I’d rather be working!

(side note, as I write this there are seagulls outside going mad and flying in to my window, HELP!)

Outfit today is a Vintage floral dress sent by the lovely Alex with a New Look denim shirt, randomly knotted belt and gorgeous tights…I love this colour, Charlotte has great taste in Christmas presents!

This is a really odd photo, but you can see the colours much better!

On top of the mugs I painted yesterday, I also did this plate for my ant obsessed Dad

Photobucket

For this I simply used a ceramic painter pen which doesn’t require oven finishing. You’ll find these in most craft shops in a range of colours and finishes.

For the painting I have this set which is brilliant as it has several paints, a 3D outliner pen and a mug to start you off! I got extra mugs/bowls/etc cheaply at Ikea!

Have a great start to the week xxx

  49. You arise beauteous in the horizon of the heavens
    Oh living Aten who creates life.
    When you shine forth in the Eastern horizon you fill every land with your beauty.
    You are so beautiful: you are great; gleaming and high over every land.
    Your rays embrace the lands and all you have created;
    You are Re and reach out to all your creations, and hold them for your beloved Son.
    You are afar, but your rays touch the earth;
    Men see you, but know not your ways.

    Thanks…sweet sugar!
