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.

Housemouse birthday card

 Evening All

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my polkadoodles DT card very much appreciated.  I am working on a project which I hope to show you soon it’s going to be a Christmas present for our eldest granddaughter Nicole

 Our youngest granddaughter Jessica is a Diva 😂 I never know what to get her so always give her money which she says is best as then she can put it towards her designer items that she buys

Well I have made another birthday card using the housemouse cd’s which I have had for years and I hope you like it

Well will pop by your blogs a bit later.  Love Alison xx
