Morning all
Hope you are all keeping warm and well. I have a fairly busy day today as it’s my sewing group in the village hall this afternoon so need to load the car up with ironing board and iron plus my project and sewing machine. Also not forget the tea/coffee and homemade custard tarts.
I made another card creating a scene with two stencils and glitter paste yesterday so here it is now it’s dried
Well will be back later to check out your lovely makes

Hi All
Thank goodness our electric and internet is all up and running again you don’t realise how much you need the internet until it’s not working. Todays card is very simple using acetate and a snowflake die, as there was no electric to print anything lol.
Will be by later to see all your wonderful creations
Love Alison x
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.

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.
Love Alison xx
Morning all
Its just gone midnight and I thought I would do a quick post before I go to my bed. went to sewing class with Sarah tonight, got home around 10pm should be in bed but have restless legs so am waiting for the tablets to kick in otherwise I will be twitching all night.
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.

Well that’s it from me tonight will go onto main computer tomorrow and catch up with everyone. P.s it’s a new Polkadoodles Gem of a craft challenge tomorrow.
Love Alison x
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
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.
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
Love Alison
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.
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.
Afternoon Everybody
Its been a housework day here in Devon, dusting, hoovering, even tidying my craft area lol. I then came out to make a card wanted to push myself into doing something a bit different, I don't have a lot of crafting supplies but will get there eventually so I have to make do with what I have to hand.
I bought this image from Polkadoodles, I do so love their images. I have come up with this
I started off today stripping our bed and dusting and cleaning. Also packed my sewing machine, iron, ironing board and other sewing related items in the car ready for this afternoon’s sewing group.
I started to make my next challenge card for polkadoodles. Have just had lunch and thought I would do a quick post. So todays card is another pyramid card which I have made for our eldest granddaughter’s 30th birthday

Today is my first post and I used for my backing papers Winnie White Christmas printable Papers pack 1 for my image I used Rudolph digital stamp also from Winnie White Christmas set. You can get them here polkadoodles.co.uk

I have been getting a lot of spam comments on my blog do I turn on comment moderator or do I put comment captcha on or both,. I have been deleting the spam comments but it’s the same ones all the time.
My secret will be out tomorrow can’t wait to tell you. Todays card is an anniversary card hope you like it
Evening all
It’s been another very busy day, had to go shopping first thing this morning to get change and the raffle prizes for the pensioners luncheon club which I run every fortnight on a Thursday, today we had service for 33 people, think they enjoyed themselves. Had to be sorted for sit down 1pm didn’t get hone until nearly 4pm.
Thank you for your lovely comments about the chair they are very much appreciated. Todays card is a sympathy card, I find these very difficult to make but this one is layered took ages to cut around but gives a delicate touch to the card.
That’s it from me today will catch up with everyone soon.
Love Alison
Afternoon everybody
It’s very cold outside even though the sun is shining. I collected an old chair from Sarah on Sunday the fabric was shredded by her cat and the cushioned seat was non existing so today I got to play and here is the finished result, I used scrap fabric that I had left from other projects
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
