Round and Round

Hi peeps!

Hope you are all well and enjoying your day.  Nothing much happening in our household today.  Mr C is working until midnight and my granddaughter is staying over as her Mum is doing a nightshift so I suppose I'd better go and rustle something up for tea!

Catch up with you again soon.

Hugs

Hello peeps!

Phew, what a busy day I had yesterday.  I took my car to the tyre place and while they were doing whatever they'd to do I popped into town, went to the bank and did a few bits of shopping.  After I picked up my car, and a pleasantly small bill, I met my cousin for lunch and we caught up with family stuff, put the world to rights then mulled over the impending referendum.  It was then back home to finish making my steak pie.  I'd cooked the meat before I went out in the morning but still had the pastry to do.  Tatties and veg were already prepared so I was ready with a hot chocolate when granddaughter came in from school!  Daughter then came in and the chatting began in earnest!  After they went home I spent the rest of the evening in my craft haven as, for me, the telly was rubbish!

Today I'm off out with my Aunt and I think we are heading for Crieff.  We haven't been there for a while so it'll be a wee change.  

Best go and get organised now or I'll be running late.

Hugs

OLL DT - A Man Card

Morning fellow bloggers!

When I was asked to go back to OLL as the blog coordinator Wendi said I didn't need to take part in the challenges but since I chose the theme this week I though it was only right that I made a card.  I chose a man card as I do find it quite challenging making these designs.  Here's what I've done this time.

Charisma Cardz - It's A Boy Thing

Mum to Be

Hello!

I'm running a bit late tonight as I was watching TV!  I was out with a school chum today and we ventured north to Grandtully to The Highland Chocolatier.  I can't believe I'd never heard of it before, let alone been there.  Awesome is the only word I can use to describe it.  You see the choccies being made and readied to be despatched to the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Claridges and Harvey Nics to name but a few so we are talking seriously wonderful stuff.  My dear friend bought me a cone of white chocolate buttons which I'm going to savour.  You will know by now that there would be an eaterie attached which was as delicious as the chocolates.  All in all it was a lovely day out, the sun was shining, it was warm (inside the car) and the scenery beautiful.  I can't believe how late everything is this year, only one more day until May and the trees are just beginning to spring to life.

Anyway, enough waffle for now and onto my card for today.  My daughter asked me to make this card for her department to give to one of their colleagues who is leaving to have a baby.  She knows it's going to be a boy which is why I've made it on the blue tones.  Hope you like!

Off to bed when I've finished this.  Sleep well!

Hugs

Hi folks!

I'm back again with my first crafty creation after my hols.  Mojo a wee bit rusty but it sprung into action once I got started.

Off now to play with the new wool I bought earlier!  Have a nice evening whatever you're up to and I'll see you tomorrow.

Hello!

What a bonnie morning! Sunshine and blue sky.  You'd think it was summer until you venture outside and it's fffffffreezing.  Mr C and I had a busy afternoon yesterday.  We ended up having a root around a shopping centre and while he was looking at all things electrical I managed a wee while in Hobbycraft.  The only thing I bought was a pack of these lovely scalloped cards but I did get some good ideas!

The saga of Mr C's car continues.  The fault with the electrics appears to be water ingress so he now has to take it to a panel beater to find out where the water is getting in because the windows are steaming up now.  Grrrr, like computers, cars are fine when they are working properly!

Anyway, once the visit to the panel beater is over we are off to our local garden centre as it's seniors' lunch day today so may as well take advantage!

Keep warm and take care.

Hugs

Sweet Mermaid

Hello!

Well, the start of another week and Mr C and I are on the countdown to our holiday.  We are off on 7 March for three weeks and can't wait to get some sunshine (hopefully!).

I woke early this morning so decided to get up rather than lie in bed playing games on my phone!!!  I've still some ironing to catch up on so I'm off to do that before meeting an old school friend for lunch .  We have a catch up every couple of months and today's the day.  It's a beautiful morning,  very frosty but the sun is up and will have defrosted my car by the time I go out!

This is the last of the cards I made on Saturday night.  I love A Day for Daisies images but haven't used them enough.  This one has been paper pieced and I think she's cute.

Have a good day!

Hugs
