New Piece...




Hell Blogland, how are we all on this windy Sunday? Well I went to bed early last night not feeling 100% but woke up this morning about 6am!! Feeling better I decided to 'attack' a jewellery pattern I started yesterday which I bought from on-line. 7 hours later I was finished & really happy :^) with the end result too! lol
In between finishing the necklace off I evn managed to start a stew off, dumplings will be added later :^), put the washing on, change beds, phone my sis AND do the chickens some lunch of potatoe & carrot peelings with sweetcorn, peas and a little Museli thrown in for good measure! Mustn't make a habit of doing too much before lunch or hubby will want it doing all the time and then where would I find the time to craft? hehehe
Anyhow, here's the picture, would love to hear what you think of it...
Hugs all xx

Tut Tut Tut








Well, I have been 'slack' as my sis would say, not been able to get on my blog for a while now. This was because of a) Christmas b) Other commitments and finally c) I have been suffering with an unbelievable tummy bug yuck!! Anyhow, less of the excuses, back now, so time to tell you what has been going on...
A friend contacted me recently & asked if I could make her some samples of cards from cd's she has designed & created herself. Talented is an understatement!! Well.... how could I refuse? Firstly it gave me a purpose to be in my craftroom and secondly I got my hands on the cd!! Whooooppeeeeeee :^) So the next x-amount of cards are from her cd.
If you like what you see, drop me a line & I'll point you in the right direction to get her VERY reasonable priced cd's (pssst from as little as £2.99)
