'The Man who never made a mistake never made anything' are the words this week.
Eve and Miranda are discussing the progress on the house renovations their husbands are doing. John, Eve's husband is putting in a new bathroom suite in their new en-suite to their bedroom. Miranda's husband Barry was building a porch out the back to store their wet clothes and outdoor shoes. They were both doing well and the four of them were going to out for a meal at the new Indian restaurant when they had finished.
Eve then said to Miranda " I saw Heidi yesterday and she told me that her husband was absolutely brilliant at DIY and had just about finished doing the whole of their cottage and had made a fantastic job of it all, finished to a very high. standard"
"I don't believe a word she says, Barry said he saw the plumbers van outside their cottage the other day. In fact he told me he was always getting someone round to do something round there, and as far as he knew he was pretty hopeless at anything practical, he was a computer geek. replied Miranda.
"Well you know what they say, a man who never made a mistake, never made anything" said Eve
They were both just pleased they had husbands who were willing to try DIY and they had both made mistakes. "Plenty of them too" said Eve.

Great interpretation of the quote in your story Wendy. I wondered if it was drawn from real life and Peter was building a porch for wet things at yours? Your background is lovely and bright and the two figures fit perfectly on it. I love the cat with it's one eye slightly open, so reminiscent of my Tabs.
Hugs, Neet xx
Yes, yes, the men, and that sort of thing always comes out when you want to show off in front of other women. Some are good at crafts and others aren't. Not everyone can do that.
Great story and the scene where the two friends chat with each other. Great background!
Hugs, Elke
Your story makes me think of my husband and a few of his DYI projects that didn't quite work. He's usually very very good at it, but sometimes he tries new things and they don't work. This is a fun page, and I like that little cat you added. Thanks for joining Matilde at AJJ Wendy, and I hope June has started off well for you. hugs-Erika
Unfortunately, I've never had a man to rely on, but I assure you, I've made my OWN DIY mistakes before, so I can relate. This is a fabulous entry for Matilde's theme at AJJ. Thank you for the great story and art, Wendy.
Pretty page, i love the stamps you used.
Great story and beautiful art journal page 😊
I love your clever story, Wendy. It is perfect for the quote. This made me giggle and reminds me of my me and my husband's DIY projects that went awry! LOL! I love your creative background and captivating figures on your art work. Thanks so much for sharing! Hope all is well with you. Hugs, Sharon
