Suzy Bee DT - White on White

Hi all!

Well, Oban was an experience.  If it had been dry and warm it would have been lovely but we had wind, rain, hail, sleet, snow, thunder and lightening ... all in one day!  Thankfully we had taken our waterproof coats and hats with us so all in all it was OK.  There were plenty of cafes to duck in and out of!

Here are two views from our hotel window -

Sleety snow!

Across the bay when there was a break in the weather!

On now to what I should have been doing before I left ... making this card for Suzy Bee!  I thought it was done as I'm a bit ahead of the challenges but for some reason this one got missed.  Anyway here it is now.

Morning!

Here is my card for LIM and this week it's a one layer.  No faux pas this time, I read the challenge properly!  I do like making CAS cards but it took me a while to get into the one layer ones.  Sometimes they work, sometimes not!  Hope you like this one.

Cards for Men DT

Hi peeps!

This is my second card for Cards for Men DT.  I wasn't getting Mr Mojo to work very well for this one and I have to confess I'm not too happy with it but try as I might it just wouldn't come together the way I'd have liked.  I'll be getting kicked off the DT before I've even got my feet under the table if Mr Mojo doesn't get back to normal!

Off to meet my daughter today for a root round the shops and some lunch.  She's back to work tomorrow so we're taking the chance while we can.

Hope you have a good day.

Hugs

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

Good evening friends!

Well, what a miserable day it's been here.  Very heavy rain, strong winds and cold again.  It's been more like November than May!  Being Friday I was out with my Aunt as always.  Mr C came too and we met up with my cousin and her husband and went to the Golf Club for lunch.  Ooooh it was scrumptious.

Nothing planned for the weekend so far but depending on the weather ... who knows!

Happy Birthday

Hello!

What a windy morning but the sun is shining and it's dry.  I'm off to meet my friend this afternoon for coffee and a rummage round the bead shop.  I've been making the Kumihimo bracelets for the school fayre but made some other ones yesterday and need more supplies as I got the thumbs up from my granddaughter and her friend.  

  

While watching Scott & Bailey last night I knitted up another bag but I've not done the finishing off yet so will let you see it when I'm done. Yesterday I posted off the 10 little cardis and 2 blankets I knitted for the mum to be of twins.  The, can't contain herself grandma to be (my friend from Spain), arrived to be with her daughter yesterday.  The twins will be arriving on Sunday and as we don't know if it's boys, girls or one of each everyone is waiting with baited breath. I'll keep you posted!

Right, onto the reason I came here, my card for today!

Take care if you're out in the wind and I'll see you soon.  I don't know if I'll make it onto the blog tomorrow as I'm taking my aunt to Dalkeith.  The craft place I get my card etc is there and I'm in dire need of supplies.  As always there's a lovely restaurant nearby so that's our plans for Friday.

Hugs

HI everyone!

Sorry I didn't make it onto the blog yesterday.  The day sped by and I just didn't have enough time.  I was playing in the craftroom with the Wee Cardmaking Kit from The Hobby House.  It is brilliant with enough to make 12 cards and the inspiration to go with it.  As you all know I'm not a bling and flowers person but the embellies in this kit are beautiful and as I'm off to a school fete in June I'm going to put these ones in boxes.  Once I've finished them all I'll let you see them but can only claim to have made them as the designs are copied from the inspiration sheet by Hazel Conboy.  I've done half of them so it may be a few days before I get the others done.

Next, the Kumihimo bracelet was easier to make than say ... once you got started!  Again I'm going to make some of them for the fete as you can rustle them up in no time.  I made mine in black and grey, added a wee heart and, naturally, will give it to my granddaughter when I meet up with her on Sunday.

Kumihimo Bracelet

Lastly here is my make for today.  I've been playing with some of my new stamps.  Before my craft crisis I didn't have that many stamps but have discovered how easy they are to use so am building up my collection little by little.

I don't know if I'll have time to blog tomorrow as it's out with my Aunt day.  We are hoping to have a trip to the seaside (we may never get out of the car!) but there's snow forecast again so we'll have to wait and see.

Enjoy your evening.

Hugs

Anne xx
