Apples and?

Well, I bought a TV (from the supermarket!) Restricted by price, size (not much space round here, lol!) and weight - as you may know I don't have a car, so it had to be carriable!

So first thing this morning I went to buy it - was home by 9am with it - but then being a bit of a useless girl, couldn't work out how to put it together (well, the stand) never mind which lead goes where.... so my brother is coming tomorrow morning to do it for me!! It was hard enough getting the blooming box open!

When I thought I was going to be able to sort it out myself, I cleared much of my stash from in front of the old tv, so as to get it out of the room - so the place is now a mess (more than before, then) and consequently I haven't had the energy or inspiration to make anything today!

I did this the other day though, with a piece of maya road chip (bet you were wondering where the apples were going to come in!) when I was intending to do something completely different. Strange how that happens! I used eco green paint for the base, my fave script stamp and the solid flower is WendyVecchi. I highlighted it with a white pen. Butterflies are Wendy's on grungepaper and sprayed with sunset orange colourwash.




This afternoon, I was moving some paperbacks from a pile in the bedroom that has been threatening to fall over for some time, to the minute space left on the dining room (I use the term loosely) table when I looked out of the window to see a fire engine - and a fireman coming up my path - they were on a smoke alarm installation exercise so now I have a fitted free one!

Finally, I am torn - torn between saving the last few of these scrummy chocs I got for Christmas or scoffing them so I can use the FAB box - it is a great depth and crying out to be altered!!  (Not sure how yet, but it is a great shadow box sort of usefulness!)
I have been having some problems placing the pics in this post so I apologise now if there are huges gaps between the text when it posts.... good old blogger!
