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. 

Love Alison

Not a card in sight

 Morning all

I have a very busy day today but a good one.   This morning I am off to play with my crafty friend Rachel will post my makes on Sunday.

Then this afternoon and evening I will be with our youngest daughter Sarah we are going to see Dune at the Vue Cinema in Plymouth and as I will be staying at her place will probably have a late night as we will have a film fest in front of the fire with our feet up but no popcorn as we are both trying to lose weight.

Best of all she has a very deep bath that I can have a long soak in with bubbles lol  we only have a shower at home I do miss a bath but it’s so hard now to get in and out of  lol.

Sarah

I am showcasing today a cot quilt I made for our great nephew,  I just love this one so easy to make as the sheep are appliquéd on hope you like it

Well am off to Rachel’s catch up with you all later and will post again tomorrow

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.

Oldie but a Cutie

 Evening everybody

Dinner is in the slow cooker, chicken curry tonight just put the water on for the rice so thought I would come and say a huge thank you to Brenda who helped sort my blog out what a long winded convoluted way of putting a page on it’s not as easy as it used to be that’s for sure.  There must be an easier way.

Todays card is another Christmas card and this image I bought years ago from hobby house and found when having a sort through.  I have no coloured ribbon so ended up using my alcohol pens to colour a white ribbon must go shopping but hate going into town it’s a 30 mile round trip lol.

  Will be back after dinner to do some commenting

Love Alison

Being a bit thick

 Can anyone help please I am trying add a page for recipes next to my home button but when I do it just takes me back to my home page, I have tried googling it but this is just confusing me, I have tried on the laptop but to no avail.   

Well it’s now 23.25 and I have been trying since 18.00 to try and put pages onto my blog it will let me add them but then just keeps sending me back to the home page don’t know what I am doing wrong but giving up ready to throw the damn thing in the bin very frustrated
