Bestest Friends


Hi!  I didn't have time to blog yesterday!  My friend and I had a day out to House of Bruar.  It was the most beautiful drive up the A9 and although it was very cold the sun was shining and there was snow sprinkled on the top of the hills.  We had a delicious lunch and then browsed through the shop.  When I got home it was time to cook the evening meal then I got my knitting out and watched tv.  Mr C and I are off to Spain on 8 March for a month and I'm busy knitting little cardigans for one of the charities in the town where we used to live.  It keeps my hands busy while watching tv in the evenings and I'm doing something worthwhile at the same time.

Mr C was working from midnight to midday so I'm up in the craft room this afternoon trying to get all my DT work up to date for going away.  I know there's still a few weeks till we're off but also I know how quickly things catch up with me!

This card was made from my latest purchase.  It's the Mabel Lucie Attwell CD by Katie Sue Designs.  I've loved MLA since I was little as I had several books with these adorable drawings.

Hugs
Anne

Adorable Anne :) I'm so jealous of your upcoming trip to Spain, what I wouldn't give to spend a month there (especially right now - it's freezing!) Have a great weekend :) x

Hi Anne

A brilliant card.

I too had one Mabel Lucie Attwell book full of little poems when I was a whole six years old .. .. .. and I still have it. All very tired and dog-eared but still very loved.

Love Jules xx
