OLL - DT

Hello!  Well, yesterday didn't quite go according to plan - no ironing done but hey ho, it'll get done sometime!  I did manage to have a play in the craft room and catch up on some DT stuff and also get cracking on with a wedding order I have.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Hugs

Get Well

Hello!  I'm later today as this morning I was waiting for the engineer to come and fix the washing machine.  It decided to let all it's water out over the floor the other day, just when I'd a heap to wash.  Thankfully, my bestest friend, said I could take my washing to her house last night when I was going to visit her anyway.  The chap came just before lunchtime so I'm now back in business.

It's the most beautiful day here again, sun and warmth (in the craft room anyway!).  My granddaughter and I are off to the the concert hall this evening.  There's a Russian skating group performing Cinderella on Ice.  We went to see them last year when they did Peter Pan and we thoroughly enjoyed it so hopefully tonight will be just as good.  I'm picking her up in a while and we're going out for tea first.

I've put my name down for GJWTHF craft day in Perth in June and was rooting around the tutors' blogs and saw a card like this on Debbi's blog so I've cased it ... thanks Debbi!

Hugs

Anne

Love

Hi! What a brilliant day my friend and I had yesterday.  I bought enough card stock in Southfields to keep me going for a while and also some Christmas stuff which was in the sale!  After that we went to Dobbies and had lunch.  When we came out of there it was blowing a blizzard but decided to go to the Gyle shopping centre where it doesn't snow!  We had a good rummage round there and it was nice to see the new season's clothes coming into the shops.  The colours are so vibrant and makes you think Spring might be just around the corner.  We then had a coffee and headed home.  My friend is coming up to my house tomorrow afternoon and we're have a crafty time.

The card I've made today didn't end up the way it started in my mind - do you know the feeling!  Unfortunately the base paper doesn't show up very well on the screen.  It's pale cream with lovely roses on it.
