Have a great time. Love the boots Barb, I know what you mean about big feet, we can always compare sizes. I took a long walk the other day, first time in ages, it is amazing what you see when not in a car. My teapot is still a WIP - taking it slow and doing it when I need to change the direction of my mind, but am loving the boots, so will download it and save it for later. Thanks for the great blog post. And if for any reason my other response appears - blame technology. Take care.

I used to walk everywhere, it was my transport! I could out walk anyone and loved it! Everyone used to comment on it - loads of comments saying 'how do you do it' etc. 'I don't get tired' I used to say! Then I got glandular fever and almost nine years later, still battling with ME, I miss my walking. I took it for granted and thought I would be forever fit! Hey ho. It could be a lot worse! Have an awesome trip and as the song says, 'those boots are made for walkin'........' xxxCraftychrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10609337677149787446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-21669563777430629642015-05-14T00:19:39.261+01:002015-05-14T00:19:39.261+01:00Hi Barbara

Oooh the boot pictures look interesting, need to print off a couple of them and have them ready for daughter to do as exam stress relief! We did our mindfulness bit today, we took revision cards into the garden to sit in the sun and ended up listening to the bird song, lots of different birds and the constant cheaping of our baby blue tits. So much better than chemistry revision that I don't understand! <br />I hope you have a fabulous holiday, are you on Harley's ? I hope you told Worka and Hollic you were going to Australia so they caught the wrong plane! Haha. <br />Have fun and travel safely. <br />Love Diane xxxDiane Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007431860077443115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-45310466282492917322015-05-13T22:30:10.383+01:002015-05-13T22:30:10.383+01:00Thanks for these Wednesday blogs Barbara they real...Thanks for these Wednesday blogs Barbara they really are making me think a lot about my self and my world of stress and worry so thankyou again and have a great time looking forward to your wee photos of your travels if you don't mind sharing again safe trip....Dot..xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775023439020643243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-5007886925722199692015-05-13T22:19:21.362+01:002015-05-13T22:19:21.362+01:00Hi Barbara &dave loved the blog and the boots ...Hi Barbara &dave loved the blog and the boots are fab loved the shit kickers.

I started on my teapot, gabe myself strict instruction to spend 30 minutes a day getting mindful and almost as quickly abandoned it in favour of filling my time with more distractions! I am determined to get this mindfulness into my life so will pull out my teapot tomorrow, Then i'll be ready for the zentangle and I may have caught up by the time you are back from you jollies. Have a fab time.

And no ripping pages out of books, yay!!! Didn't think I'd be able to make myself anyway!!! I'm not really into vintage, I'm vintage enough!!!, but it doesn't look vintage vintage, and is on special offer just now so I think I'll treat myself - I'll tell myself it will save me lots of precious time searching, I can spend that time crafting ;-). Thank you <br /><br />Hope you've realised that's you talked yourself into helping me fill my cowboy boots in!!!!! ;-) xxBrenda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319199253488833078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-53041714757188237082015-05-13T21:16:24.734+01:002015-05-13T21:16:24.734+01:00Absolutely!

Then filling those small sections with a repeating pattern, like dots or stripes. I started by drawing boxes and then filling each box with a pattern. Then I could see which patterns worked well together. I'm no expert but I do love it as I stop thinking about other stuff and think only of the pattern................sounding very zen like ;) love Donna.

I'm the same, forget what's on them, or know I have something but can't remember where!!! I'll see if I can find any pictures of these ones. I should be able to lighten the dark colours in craft artist. I'm going to have to try out my ideas now that I've made you go to all this effort ;-) I'm up for attempting the boots but I'm going to struggle even more with trying to get zentangle! You'd think it would be my thing with me doing lots of doodles and lines and stuff on cards but it all has a purpose - embellishment, to frame, to outline, to make pop etc. My Asperger's brain needs it to be logical and a reason, like the teapot, I see what it resembles and choose the colours for that. (I was good at the clouds game!!!) Taking a blank thing and filling it abstractly, that's going against everything my brain screams at me, and is going to be some challenge!!! But you never know if you don't try, eh!

The boots are great, looking forward to zentangling them. Love what you did with yours.

The first is by Debbie Moore and is called Vintage Discovery, it has maps in a vintage style and colour a couple are quite dark so may not be the best to stamp and colour on. The script page has birds in the corner but you should be able to get an A5 size out of it easily. The second is from a company called Krafty Hands and is called The Garden - Floral Collection. This one has a whole A4 size script background in a light colour but does also contain little vintage images that are faded into the background. The map page is like an old style flattened globe in a light grey colour again with pictures faded into the background. Hope this helps.<br /><br />Don't worry about the teapot, you will feel ready soon I'm sure of it and then we can start again...............I am also going to be doing the boots, are you up for it?
