Rising to the challenge !!! 

Anything remotely arty , will throw up a challenge and I for one will rise to said challenge with balls !!! I’m a stubborn bitch to say the least , I have these ideas sometimes just pop into my head …. I probably don’t have any bloody idea on how you going about making it … but being as stubborn as I am I will hunt down every piece of information and if the urge is strong enough I will make it !! And too be fair it usually is 😉 

Recently it was copper leafing an entire wall in my kitchen … well I rarely use the stuff and when I do because it’s so frigging  fragile you use 10 times more than what you need right … never really got to grips with it !!! Anyway I did my research …. found it … transfer leaf simple as putting on one of those shitty kids tattoos , well kind of ! So got my 495 sheets … doddle … eh no ! took me days and days , it still sticks to your fingers and it still floats about the air … pretty though ❤️ patience is the key, well I’m more bull in a China shop type human don’t like to wait …. but I got there with bald bits … which had to patched up with the non transfer stuff which was frankly just shite … perseverance pays off though and it looks pretty good 🙂 bit of fake oxidization too … more days and we were good to go 🙂  This is the outcome of stubborn xxx 

Im not the only one to set challenges for me …. I did have a customer ask me for cat bunk beds and I actually delivered in fact made a few and sold them all pretty cute they were too …. ❤️

My husband is the worst though … ” oh you will have to come up with something new for my shops window for Christmas” … so from there came yoga baubles !! ” Oh what about Halloween I need a pumpkin carved ” being a butcher shop I racked my brains … I know ..A highland coo !!! Well did he not say the one thing you should never say to a stubborn cow …. bet you can’t !!!! Haha challenge accepted idiot  !!!! 

I had never carved a pumpkin without the aid of a stencil before … but plonked my arse down on sofa , cup of tea, chocolate and a giant pumpkin wedged between my knees and set to work ….. 6 hrs it took me in total while my kids ignored me or maybe I ignored them who knows I was in the zone 😉 ….photo messaging my husband updates  who was half pissed in his local pub …. it was scary to make the first cut but I did it and Boris was fucking awesome ….. my husband came home pissed as a fart and  said ” that’s friggin awesome , now what you doing for next year to top that ???? ” FUCK WIT !!! Boris 🙂 

Much love ❤️ Jo
