Tight Squeeze

Another Sunday has come round so quickly and it's time again for Sunday with Santa on Facebook.  The subject this week is Humour and I hope I've captured that.  

I made myself a light box last weekend using a white cardboard box that I picked up in the supermarket.  I can't say the photos are brilliant (operator error) but at least there's no shadows.

I've an appointment with the optician at 11 to sign up for my contacts then Mr C and I are off to Homebase to collect the wall tiles we've ordered for the kitchen, all 32 packs of them!  Mr C is so glad he's not having the put them up!

Have a lovely Sunday whatever you're up to.

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!

Sewing Bea

Hi! I'm going to use this card for my oldest friend, we've known each other for 43 years!!!  It's her birthday later in the year but I saw this image and thought of her.  We used to make all our clothes when we went dancing in our youth, so you can see where I'm coming from!

It's a lovely day here, sunny and warm so let's hope it stays that way for a few days but according to the weather forecast it's to get cold again at the weekend with the possibility of snow. 

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.

Wishy Washy Day

I haven't been around for the last few days cos I've been in bed feeling sorry for myself.  My sinuses have been so blocked they felt as though they were going to explode but thankfully today I've got the sneezes and am beginning to feel a tad better.  I had this card almost ready so I finished it off this afternoon.
