Morning all!

What a horrendous day it was yesterday and doesn't look much better today. I'm being an awful blogger just now as I've so much to do before I'm off on my travels on Wednesday for three weeks. Can't wait! 

I didn't get as much done last night as I meant to as I bought myself a Hudl yesterday and spent most of the evening loading all my apps etc onto it so I can take it with me. I'll need to work like a wee Trojan today as I'm out with my granddaughter tomorrow and hospital on Tuesday to get my tear duct flushed out to hopefully sort my eye.  All go in the Campbell household.

Take care while I'm away.

Cards for Men DT - Halloween

Howdy there peeps!

It's a spooky challenge this fortnight at Cards for Men.  This one was really difficult for me as I don't do halloween.  It certainly is becoming more popular these days but certainly not when I had little ones in the house!  I quite like the card I've created as it's not too gruesome!

Morning everyone!

I say this every Sunday, but where do the weeks go?  Only 10 sleeps till I'm off to sunny Spain to housesit for friends for 3 weeks.  At the moment it's still in the high 20s so lets hope it stays that way.

I had a really busy day yesterday cos all my friends were busy and Mr C was working so I thought I'd do something that's been on my 'to do' list for a while.  I hauled out all the bedroom furniture and got rid of all the dust that had accumulated underneath and behind.  I also found 20p and 2 earrings!!!  I have to say I feel quite pleased with myself.  I got the ironing up to date too ... domestic goddess or what!

I don't know what we're going to be up to today, time will tell.

Enjoy your day.

My Latest Make

Afternoon everyone!

Thought I'd pop in and let you see what I've been making today.  Quite a few weeks ago I found a wonderful fabric store called Terry's Fabrics.  Pop over and have a browse, there are so many fantastic designs I didn't know where to start and now that I've got the fabric, I have to say it's brilliant quality.  

Today, I finally got around to doing something with the material and decided to make a shopper as so many shops now charge for carrier bags.  I have another two lengths so might make some more and I might even try making ipad and kindle covers too.  Now that I've got my machine set up there's no telling where it will lead and I'll have lots of lovely handmade gifts for Christmas pressies.

It's a lovely afternoon and Mr C and his friend are off golfing.  I'm just going to put the kettle on as our granddaughter is popping in after school for a cuppa and a doughnut!

See you again soon.

Hugs

Shopper

Virgin material - like designer papers, takes a bit of psyching up to cut into!

Christmas Cards DT - Christmas Lights

Morning all!

I think I've lost a few days this week, it seems no time since last Sunday!  I've had a busy week and added another craft event to my November calendar so I really must get Mr Mojo working overtime and get creative!

I delved into the Christmas present box the other day and got them all sorted out to see what I've still to buy, not many to go!  I've got wrapping paper so one of these days I'm going to get them all wrapped and tagged.  Cards have already been written so I think I'm fairly organised as it's only 17 sleeps till I'm off to Spain to house sit for friends and it's mid November by the time I get back and I just HATE the shops when it gets manic.

Best get some crafting done instead of sitting here chatting!
Enjoy your Sunday.
Hugs

Less is More

Hello everyone!

Well it's a miserable, dark, wet morning in my little corner of the world.  Methinks it's another day in the craft room.  Yesterday I made quite a few cards for my craft fair box and I got inspiration from the very talented Jules on some quick, easy but stunning Christmas cards so that could well be what I'm up to later.

Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes yesterday for my hospital appointment.  All went well and the consultant thought I may have a blocked tear duct and wanted me to wait to see the nurse and have it flushed out. Unfortunately, as Mr C was with me and due to start work in an hour, I couldn't wait but have to go back on 22nd to have the procedure done so fingers crossed all will be well after that.  My eye isn't sore or anything but it's just so annoying when it does run and I feel I have a paper hankie permanently in my hand when I'm outdoors.

What a rotten sleep I had last night.  I was really tired so popped off to bed whenever New Tricks finished at 10.  I was asleep by 1030 but woke up around 2 and the last time I looked at the clock it was 0457 and I hadn't slept a wink, needless to say I could have stayed in bed this morning!  

Off now to get ready for the day.

Hope you have a good one.

Hugs

Hi everyone!

I've scheduled this post as I've a hospital appointment this morning.  My left eye runs from time to time and it is so annoying when it does.  I've been putting it off for a while, a long while in fact, but eventually had to give in and go to the doc who referred me to the eye clinic.  Mr C is coming with me cos my appointment letter said I might need to have drops in my eye and I wouldn't be able to drive right away.  Will keep you posted!

I have to apologise for the wonky photo.  It makes the card look as if it is completely misaligned but, fear not, it's OK in real life.

Hope you have a good day.

Hugs
