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
