Finished project

 Morning all

Busy day ahead I have my sewing group this afternoon, it’s the last one before Christmas, I also have to shop this morning as will need milk and mince pies for this afternoon, was going to make them but ran out of time.

I mentioned a project I was working on a while ago and have finally finished it, these are for my granddaughter as a Christmas present so I hope she likes them



I am not sure if I can explain how these are made, started off with a blank canvas, cut out three layers of thick card in shapes required then glued them together.  Scrunched up plumbing tape and layer all over board then using a ball tool made sure all the edges of images were defined and then used the roller ball to go over the rest of the board.  Covered with black acrylic paint with a sponge then left for 10 minutes before taking a cloth and wiping the painted surface to make the image look like burnished metal.  Cover with three coats of varnish leaving each coat to dry all finished

Will pop by later to comment on your blogs

Love Alison

Feeling Sad

 Afternoon all

I am a bit sad today, I have been speaking to my eldest brother this morning and he has told me he is on his own this year for Christmas.  His eldest son has been very ill this year in and out of hospital and usually Bill goes to them as Richard helps my brother by carrying him up the steps to the house ( my brother had his leg removed a couple of years ago and now his good leg is playing up so he is unable to stand due to extreme pain).  His youngest son recently split with his wife and so he is going to his mum’s with the children, again too many steps for my brother to get into the house.

He lives around 300 miles from me and only has two bedrooms and as Sarah our youngest is with us over Christmas there is not enough room for us to visit him and I live in a 1 bedroom bungalow so no room for him to come here.  I am distressed at the thought of him being on his own.

Sorry just needed to explode.  I am showcasing another card which was commissioned and hope you like it.



 
Well that’s it for now sorry for burbling all over you 
Love Alison

Very Quiet Day

 Evening everybody

Hope you are all keeping well and safe.   I have had a very quiet day, a bit of housework  and some cards made but unable to showcase just yet as they are for my Polkadoodles  Gem of a Craft Challenge Design Team.

I have made a Christmas Card that I can show you, this was a commissioned card that a friend asked me to make for her family.




Just about to cook dinner so will be catching up on your lovely blogs shortly.

Fun Day



 Hi all

Hope you are all warm and well.   Its been a horrid day here on Dartmoor, raining most of it.  I went to the pub this morning for a crafty play.  It was £5.00 and we made a Christmas Cracker table centre piece it was fun.    The centre bit comes apart so you can put presents in it.  If anyone wants to know how to make it let me know and I will do a tutorial



  

I then came home and have spent the afternoon catching up on some orders that I have for Christmas Cards, will post photo's over the next few days.

Have you been over to Gem of a Craft Challenge yet the challenge is still open so why not go ahead and take part you never know you might win.

Alan was making chicken curry for tea but as we forgot to take the chicken out last night and its still not fully defrosted think we may be having something else.

Well that's it from me for now will be along to check your lovely blogs as soon as I can.

Love Alison xx

Christmas Wreath

 Afternoon everybody

I made a card for hubby's brother and his wife, I always try to make them a different type of card each year.  This year wanted to try something out of my comfort zone, this card took me two days to make.  Its a Christmas Wreath Card.  I used CC Florian Foam to make the flowers which I really enjoyed doing but my fingers were very inky for days lol.  

So here without further ado is the card.



Well for some reason my blog has decided I am French lol.  I have caught up with all your lovely blogs if I have missed anyone I apologise.

Power cuts

 Hi all

It’s cold and windy here today, we had lots of power cuts through the night and then around 5.30am this morning power went off all together, we decided to buy a camping stove as we are all electric here, so no heating, no cooking and oh no, no kettle.  So off we went then had to turn around as a tree was down blocking the main way out of the village, then went past the cricket club only to have to turn around again as another tree down, so ended up going across the moors.

The electric came on around 3.30 this afternoon but we have no internet so I am unable to comment as I need the main computer am using my data on my tablet via the SIM card at the moment.  

Anyway enough of the moaning at least we don’t have snow lol. Todays card is made from some of the things I bought in Bath was fascinated by glitter art so thought I would give it a go and this is one of the cards I am making to send to family


The light is not very good sorry this was the best photo .  Will hopefully be able to comment tomorrow so will see you on the other side.

Poinsettia Card

 Evening everybody

Well I had a lovely day yesterday and bought a load of stash but too much to show, it took about two hours to drive from here to the show ground, left home around 07.30 am and arrived home around 6pm so a really long day, I went to bed after dinner around 7.30pm and slept right the way through until 7am this morning.

Had a fairly quiet day today, had to go to Hobby Craft this morning as I  needed a zip and some thread to make my skirt also bought some for Sarah too whilst I was there and of course walking around the shop picked more stuff up lol.

Anyway here is a card I made today using the Crafters Companion Poinsettia die I have put a bit of sparkle of the flowers plus the writing using of course CC sparkle pens and then added a pearl gem to make the cards pop.  I just have to do the insert for it.

Am just off to cook dinner just a quick and easy one tonight, gammon, egg, mushroom, chips and peas, this is one of Alan's favourite meals.  




Will catch up with you again tomorrow.

Xmas card mental block

 Evening all

Well have finally caught up with all your lovely blogs.  I am having a mental block, trying to create a Christmas card for my brother and sister in law (Alan's brother) but having a serious mental block will have to come back to it in the morning.

Sorry I have been absent for a few days but ended up in hospital with an Angina attack on Thursday evening and have not been on top form since coming home on Friday.  Awaiting cardiology appointment.  I had a fairly big heart attack in February and although I am much improved still not on full strength.  

I am out most of the day again tomorrow, Coffee Stop with the oldies in the morning, Sarah's in the afternoon getting our dinner ready before we go to Sewing Classes in the Evening.   I am then going to Bath and West Showground for the Craft4Crafters show 2 hour drive was not going to go but Sarah is coming with me and she has paid for the tickets and says she will do the driving.  

On to my card its one that I made a while ago but never got around to posting so hope you like it.  


Well that's it for now will try and comment on everyone's lovely creations tomorrow but as my ipad will not let me comment on all blogs I have to come to the main computer and its not always convenient.


Love to all stay warm.

Trouble commenting on ipad

 Dear all sorry for not being around.  I am at the moment not able to comment from my iPad not sure what’s going on but am feeling crappy after having my covid booster jab yesterday also having chest pains, so am not able to get to the main computer to comment on your lovely blogs.

I am show casing another card that I made last weekend by using Rachel’s embossing folder and sentiment.  I then mat and layered at home and coloured in with water pencils.  


I hope you like it. Love Alison x

Wednesday 17 November 2021

Another busy day

 No time for card making at the moment as I have another busy day ahead.  This morning is the weekly coffee stop to which I chauffeur a group of senior citizens too and then bring them home they are all a really good bunch and I do have a laugh they are so saucy at times.  I then have to make spaghetti bolognaise with a vegetable option to take to Sarah’s as this evening is our sewing course.  But before that I have my covid booster jab but even though I have an appointment the wait time can be over an hour and there is nowhere to sit so by the time I have got to having the jab done my back will be killing me.

Todays card is another one that I made at Rachel’s house on Saturday using a clarity stamp stencil which I love and just had delivered.



Rather than use a silhouette image I decided a rainbow one to brighten up a dull day.  I hope you like it.

Lots of love
Alison

Why are there not enough hours in a day

 Morning everybody

Another busy day today, this morning I have to go into Ivybridge which is about 5 miles from where we live to pick up my medication, and go to see a couple who I am giving computer lessons to.  I then need to type up the minutes from a meeting I attended on Friday and distribute them.  I then need to work on the the list for the pensioners fortnightly lunch which is this week and take the numbers down to the local pub so they know how many to cater for.  I also need to pop into Plymouth about 15 miles away as I need to pick up an order from Hobbycraft.

I made another card over at Rachel’s and here it is used a 3d embossing folder and used a brayer to add ink to the folder before putting through the machine to emboss I then glittered the pine cones and added a sentiment.


That’s it for now will pop by your lovely blogs later today

Lovely Morning Crafting

 Hi everybody

I went over to my crafty friend Rachel’s yesterday morning for a catch up and play as I still don’t have much in the way of stamps, ink or embossing folders yet Rachel is kind enough to let me use her stuff for which I am so grateful.

I bought this stamp at the Exeter craft extravaganza in September and thought I would use it to make this card very simple card to make think the stamp is a woodware one I added some glitter to make the flowers pop.




I am busy until Tuesday as tomorrow morning going over to a friends house to give her computer lessons, in the afternoon I have my sewing group.  So will catch up with you all probably Monday evening.

Love Alison

Leaving Card

 Afternoon Everybody

I think I have caught up with all your lovely blogs if not I will do so tomorrow.   I am off out later this afternoon.  Sarah our youngest daughter wanted to do a beginners sewing course and didn't want to go on her own so she booked me in as well not that I need it but you never know might pick up some hints and tips.

I made a leaving card as Sarah sells my cards at work and thought that a couple of these may sell as people come and go, I found a couple of house mouse cd's that I bought years ago so thought I would use them so this is what I came up with.


Am off for lunch just now but will catch up with you all again tomorrow

Love Alison

Busy Morning

 Hi Everyone

Its been a busy morning here in the Jeatt household, sorting through paperwork which needs shredding some of it dating back to 1992 why do I keep stuff that long?     I have also made a cake to take to the sewing group this afternoon just a quick vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream.

I have nearly caught up on your blogs after being absent for a couple of days.  I have decided I need to make cards out of my comfort zone but am not sure where to begin, I need to get into stencilling and stamping so am going to check out a few sites that's if they are still in business a lot of the card making suppliers I used to use have disappeared.  

I made up some male cards for Sarah to take into work, here is my first one, the elephant came from a Jayne Netley Mayhew CD which I have had for years hope you like it



I had a phone call tonight from the company that Sarah works for Plymouth Community Homes they are a housing association but also do new builds and a couple of weeks ago they asked if I would make new home cards when they sell their new builds of course I said yes and tonight they asked if I would make 20 cards.  I have made the first 15 and will finish the other 5 in the morning feeling pleased with myself.

That’s it for tonight will catch up tomorrow with everyone

An umbrella day


Evening all

Sorry not been around commenting on your posts but went out last night and these days it takes me a couple of hours to look anything near human lol.  Went to a spiritualist evening with a friend never attended one before as it’s not really my thing but it was fun not that I had anyone from the other side visit or want to talk to me thank goodness.

Then today we went to Sarah’s to measure up the size of table she wants her dad to make for her kitchen.  I made a card before we went it’s another digi image from Polkadoodles the backing paper is one I made myself using Lindy’s Magicals. I then added a few flowers and sentiments



 Alan is lying next to me in bed snoring his head off whilst I type this gonna poke him in a minute either that or put the pillow over his head lol.   Well that’s it from the Jeatt household if you don’t hear from me it will be because I’m in prison after getting an all male jury but if you do hear from me it’s because I got an all female jury and they understand the trial and tribulations of 47 years of marriage lol.

A dismal day,

 Morning all

It’s been raining heavily all night and it’s now 07.51 and it’s so dark outside.  I have just heard there have been two accidents on the A38 main road in and out of Plymouth, one going towards Plymouth and then the other coming out and it’s both  the junction we go onto the A38 and the other is just before the junction we need to come off to come home, some poor love has had their day have been ruined just hope it’s not too serious. 

Enough waffle todays card is made from an digi image from Polkadoodles I bought her pre coloured but will probably go back and order the translucent one.  The flower is from the heartfelt creations sunrise lilly stamp and die cut set, paper coloured with CC triblend pens and card from stash. 



Will again pop by your lovely blogs later today

Friday 29 October 2021

It’s Christmas again

 Evening all

Thought I would do a quick post before getting dinner.  We have finally put the shed/craft area put back together again after having a good sort out, how anyone can collect so much crap I don’t know.

My Christmas tree die that I ordered came today so think I will be getting a lot of use out of that.  We are going to Sarah’s tomorrow she wants her dad to make a table for her kitchen, so I will be taking all the cards I have made for her to take to work and sell, not that I ever see the money she collects lol.

Todays card is a digi image from Polkadoodles the trees is from an embellishment digi image also from polkadoodles which I printed in different sizes and cut around. 


I will be back after dinner to comment on your wonderful projects.

Thursday 28 October 2021

Stag


Morning all

I am scheduling this post as have an early start swapping freezers over, or at least I will be getting in the way whilst Alan does the lifting and shifting, we also go shopping on a Thursday and it’s a must go day as we are running low on milk.  

Todays card is made from the remainder of a card which a friend cut out a stag and I made a stencil of the cut out area but as I don’t have many inks yet had to use what was to hand, this is what I came up with.



 Will be back later today to comment on all your wonderful creations.  Enjoy your day.

Variation upon a theme

 Hi all

Once again thank you for your lovely comments, they are so appreciated.  It’s been a busy couple of days trying to sort my crafting area into a more manageable space.  I have been crafting at the kitchen table as there was no room for a table in my craft area but Alan has built me a foldaway table so now I can leave my mess if I have not finished a project lol.  We have done one side of the area but the other side will be done tomorrow as we are moving our large fridge freezer out of my little cubby and putting the small under counter freezer in its place and putting shelves above it, gotta keep the old bugger busy and out of mischief lol xx 


Anyway I have another butterfly card for you today this is using a woodware stamp that Rachel stamped up for me on Saturday when I was over at her house playing last Saturday.  



We are having stew for dinner tonight as it’s been raining on and off all day here it’s been cooking in the slow cooker all day and is smelling blooming lovely.

Will catch up with everyone after dinner

Bye for now

Beautiful butterfly

Afternoon All

I had a wonderful day yesterday left Rachel’s about 1.45pm then went straight to Sarah’s had some lunch then got ready to go pictures, the film was excellent.  We got back to Sarah’s around 8.30 had a quick supper then watched The Martian excellent film don’t know why I have never sat and watched this.

So whilst I was at Rachel’s yesterday she gave a masterclass of colouring images because we all know it’s not my strong point so I just need to practice now.  Rachel stamped this image for me to practice and here is my second attempt


Am shattered now so am resting up as I have a busy week ahead.  Will catch up with your wonderful blogs after my cup of tea.

Wedding Day

 Evening everybody 

Not much to report today it’s been cold and dismal so an ideal time to do some crafting done, I spent most of this morning putting inserts into all my cards that I have made recently and then putting them with envelopes into cello bags oh what fun I hear you say.  

This afternoon I made a wedding card not particularly happy with this one will have to try again with the same image but perhaps a different layout.

I then had to dash to the docs, found a lump in my boob so went to get it checked have been referred to breast clinic,  Anyhow here is the card I made today

I need to chat with my brother family crisis lol. Will comment on your wonderful makes once I have put the family problems back into the box lol

Exciting News but it’s not my sshhhh secret



 Afternoon All

Exciting news the housing association my daughter works for has asked me to design new home cards for when new tenants move into one of their properties, so have been trolling the internet trying to find either digi images or clear stamps to buy to create these cards but either I am not putting the correct info in the search engine or there is not a lot of stuff out there, can anyone help guide me to the right place to buy please.

These are what I have managed so far

I wanted to make a simple card with no layers as then it becomes more expensive.  The first three cards are 6x6 cards.


Love this sweet image


This is a LOTV digi image


This one is layered bit a much smaller card think it measures 4x6


Will have my dinner then do some commenting, at the moment Bella is rolling over my feet whilst playing with teddy, it’s not a very clear photo as the little devil was rolling about.


Well oven’s beeping so dinner ready 

See you on the other side.
