Second update in a month

2009-07-13T19:10:00.003+01:00

how good am I. Not been too well over the weekend but am back to cardmaking today. Only 2 cards to do to catch up on orders which Im hoping to do tonight.

Thought I would show you some cards I made last week. Im trying to fill the box Natalie has at work, she is selling loads, its definalty helping to top up the crafty stash.

Looking forward to watching QVC at midnight, its a christmas TSV, cant wait.

For some reason I can only get my piccies to show at the top of my posts but never mind at least they are there.

Of to make the 2 more card orders now, will try to take piccies before I send them.

Promise to try and update more often too. Take care all.xxxx

Ooooooopppppppppppppsssssssssss been a while again

2009-06-29T21:30:00.002+01:00

sorry all been so busy with orders and making a start on my neices wedding invites. The orders are up todate but the less said about the invites the better. They just arnt turning out like I want them too but Im sure I will sort it out.

Just been away for a few days with my hubby to Ingoldmells near skegness and we had a lovely relaxing time. Of course I did quite a bit of crafty shopping and even made a few cards, although most of the time I sat in the sun and read and in the evenings I cut out a lot of Bagpuss decoupage. Ive had the kit ages but just not had time to play with it yet. Maybe now its all cut out I may get a chance to make a few cards.

Only made 4 cards while I was away with some Smirk stash that I bought before we went away. So here they are, hope you like them.

Will honestly try to update more often.

Crickey how long has it been

2009-04-20T14:09:00.002+01:00

Sorry all didnt realise it had been so long since Id updated. Have been busy helping Zoe and Daz with new baby Sophie, who is totally gorgeous.

Hope you all had a fab easter. We did, my sister and her family came to stay for 4 days so although a full house we had loads of fun. Hope to get to hers in Kent sometime late may or early June, could do with a bit of a break.

I have still been crafting and will try and add some of my recent makes later today or tomorrow. It is glorious out the sun is shining and makes everything seem better.

Have been taking a look at all your blogs, they are all fab and there are some stunning cards being made, must be all the sunshine cheering people up.

Thats all for now promise to add some card piccies later and try and update more often.

Hexagonal Box

2009-02-23T16:23:00.002Z

Ive made this box for my daughter Zoe and her fiance Daz for when the baby arrives. We know she is going to be a girl and they are going to call her Sophie. Zoe has 10 days to go so watch this space.

I got the template from my lovely local craft shop and used DCWV Nannas paper stack. It took a while to cut out and put together but it wasnt difficult, and I really enjoyed making it.

Its been even longer this time

2009-02-04T20:58:00.002Z

I havent had the internet for a couple of months as we have moved house. Its a fab house and we've all settled in really well.

Ive still been crafting though, done quite a bit of knitting and even done a couple of alltered items. I will take some piccies to show you when I can find where my hubby has hidden all the batteries. You know what its like you put them away so safely they are never to be found again.

Have a busy weekend coming up, have my sister and all her brood ( 5 ) coming to stay the weekend and as we didnt get together at christmas I am doing christmas dinner complete with crackers and stuff on saturday.

Then on sunday I am having a baby shower for my eldest daughter ( Zoe ) who is due on 6th march, hopefully all the merryment wont make her go into labour.

Of to sew up and put buttons on a baby cardi now ready for sunday.

Chat to ya all soon.

Sally has helped me loads and will probably be helping me loads more too in the future, Bless her.

Hubbys Birthday today

2008-11-16T19:43:00.000Z

He liked all his cards and presents and we even managed to go out for tea. He wasnt too well this morning and in a lot of pain but he rested and took his medication so we went out about 4.30.

I havent managed to make any cards at all the last 5 or 6 days as Ive been so busy catching up with all the washing and Housework but hope to have a crafty day on tuesday. Have Millie 3 days this week so no chance during the day and usually shattered by the evening running about after her.

Really need to make a box of everyday cards up for Nat to take to work to sell for me seeing as th christmas ones are going so well, will be able to have a good crafty shop soon if the sales keep going.

Of to watch Indiana Jones now with hubby, bought him all the DVDs for his birthday.

Been playing with the layout

2008-11-12T22:52:00.000Z

and colours of my blog this evening. Not sure if its quite bright enough for me yet so will keep playing. It will probably change a few more times until Im happy with it.

Have been to The Range in scunthorpe today and bought a few bits n bobs, mostly essentials such as glue n mirri card but also popped in a couple of packs of flowers and a pack of paper. We took Millie with us and of course she helped her Nanna spend. Really musnt buy much more stash until after christmas, you never know what I will get for christmas now do I.

Also took Millie for some new shoes, we go to the Clarks outlet as Zoe ( eldest daughter) works there and she gets a great discount, she is also trained to measure and fit childrens shoes which is a great help as Millie will let her do it with no probs.

Thats all for today night all.
