A New Baby & News

Hi, it's me again ... twice in one day!

I have some exciting news.  I was asked to join the Design Team at Moving Along with the Times.  Of course, no hesitation, I said YES!  My first challenge with them will be on 30 January and I've already got my card prepared!  Wish I was always so organised.

I've also got a card to share for Less is More.  I always try to take part as I love CAS.

Off now to have a tidy up so that I can be ready, with my feet up, for Dancing on Ice.  Why does Sunday night have too many good things on at once and Saturday (in my opinion) is absolute rubbish.  I'll need to get the link set up to record some of the programs.

See you soon.

Hugs

Hi!

I'm back again with the Crimbo cards I've made this week!  My box is getting really full but, with a craft fair in December and 3 weeks in Spain before that, I'd better keep going!

All the paper I've used on these cards was a giveaway I won from Dies to Die For.  Tracy also very kindly popped in some die cuts so I'm looking forward to using them too.

Hugs

Good morning!

I missed out on posting yesterday, busy day!  I did have the card half made so when I got up this morning I popped upstairs to the craft room and finished it.  

The weather's not looking too promising today and it's certainly a bit cooler.  Fingers crossed that the rain doesn't come on as my friend and I are off into town while Mr C and her husband are at golf.

Hope you all have a great day whatever you're up to.

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

Morning everyone!

This is my last post before Mr C and I are off on holiday.  I haven't got anything scheduled while I'm away so will be back blogging again on 28 March.  I hope you all have fun crafting and keep out of mischief!

I'm going to get shellac done on my nails today, a present from my daughter for Mothers' Day.  I usually do my nails myself but as this lasts for 3/4 weeks it will save me taking all my nail accoutrements with me.  The burning question now is, what colour do I get?

Take care of yourselves while I'm away.

Big hugs
