It's a Man Thing!

Morning peeps!

I hope it's going to be a better day today.  When I went to the hairdresser yesterday I could hardly see in front of me and it was like that all morning and even when it cleared up it was grey and miserable.  I spent the rest of the morning houseworking (not my favourite occupation) and I played in the craft room in the afternoon.  Here is some of the fruits of my labours!

Meeting cousin for lunch so no doubt lots to catch up on.  Have a good day and stay safe.

A New Baby

Hi followers and fellow bloggers!

Another scheduled card as I'm off to see my aunt today and taking this card with  me.  She text me yesterday (great what an 84 year old can do!) and asked me to make a card for her friend who has just become a great grandma.  This is what I came up with and I hope they both like it!

Take care.

Happy Day

Hi peeps!

Another scheduled post today as my friend and I are off out for the day and our husbands are playing golf so we're all happy.  I'll let you know tomorrow where we end up.

I made this card yesterday when I was having a little creative spurt although the sun was shining and it's difficult to be inside.  I had the back door open all afternoon and the dogs were able to pop in and out and enjoy the sun too.  We have a four-legged visitor with us this week.  Our daughter and granddaughter are in Albir on holiday and are having a great time with hot weather.

a pair of lazybones!

do you think they're listening to me!

I've another clean and simple one to share today.

Another Baby

Hello folks!

Hope you are all well and the weather's not too bad where you are.  We are alternating between sun and heavy sleet showers today and it's a bitter wind out there ... when are we going to get decent weather?  Not to worry, I'm warm and dry in my crafty bubble!  You'll be fed up with baby cards but I think this might be one of the last.  I'm trying to make a pile of cards for the school fete but that's when Mr Mojo decides to go walkabout!  Thank goodness for Pinterest, I get lots of inspiration there.

Here's a piccie of the 5 cardis I sewed up yesterday.  I still need to get buttons for them but that's on my do to list for next time I'm in town.  As you can see the design on them all is this same, it's my fav and I don't even need to consult the pattern any more!

Must get a wriggle on and get into the kitchen to cook tea. 

See you tomorrow.

Hugs

Hi blogging buddies!

Woopee, the engineer has been and the fridge is fixed so by tomorrow, when it's back up to temperature, I'll be able to stock up.  I really couldn't be bothered having to shop every day but I know lots of people do and in my childhood, everybody had to!  

My news from yesterday ... a new tea shop has opened up not too far from where I live and they are opening a craft centre for classes and I've been asked to take a card class.  There's going to be quilting, jewellery, knitting and other hand craft classes during the week and crafty children's parties at the weekend. Sounds so exciting and I wish them all the best.

While the engineer was working away in the kitchen I was upstairs doing another lot of ironing and then had a play in the craftroom.  It's certainly a day for it as his blowing a hoolie and hissing rain ... and that's putting it politely!

My granddaughter is coming for tea so I'm off to make mince and tatties.  The school she goes to is just down the road so it's fine and handy and I'll take her home in the evening.

Before I go, I thought you might like to see the size of the knitting pins I used to knit the bag - it's like knitting with tree trunks!

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Hugs

PS - sorry about the distorted card photo, I'm going to have to sack the camera "girl"!!!

Good evening one and all!

Time certainly flies when you're enjoying yourself.  I've been experimenting in the craft room tonight, perhaps the results may be seen tomorrow!  All of a sudden I realised what time it was and had to make a quick card to post.  I've also been having a sort-out on my computer as it's running like a slug and I don't want to lose anything before I get around to getting a new one so I was filing stuff onto my external hard drive.  Heaven help me if that ever goes wrong :-(

I had a lovely afternoon with my granddaughter today.  We lunched then shopped, what more could us girls ask for!

Sleep well.

Night night!
