Evening all

I have had a real busy day putting inserts into the cards I have made and putting them into cello bags ready for Monday nearly there now but last night my back, hands, fingers were all throbbing as I am having a massive flare up of my arthritis so hardly any sleep last night.

Alan is on backshift today so that means he starts work at 2pm until 10pm it takes about 45 minutes for him to get home so I will be tucked up in bed by the time he gets home.

I have made some cards today and here is one of them hope you like it.

the verse inside says Like you he is at an age when he can't remember, happy birthday

Well I will pop by shortly to see what you have all been up to. 

Love

Why can't I find things

Afternoon all

Why can't I find things, I have sorted the craft room out and put everything away labelled so you think I would be able to find things but no, lost the plates to my spellbinders Sapphire so I spent a good couple of hours trying to find them guess what they were with my embossing folders that I looked through twice.

Sorry not been around much the past couple of days but I have floaters in my left eye which are squiggly lines in my peripheral vision, I also have some black ones in the middle of the eye and I keep thinking I have a spider in my hair and try and brush them out with my hand lol, it is very annoying now been like it for a fortnight so a trip to the opticians me think although there is not a lot they can do it should just go on its own.

I have so far made 34 bath bombs very time consuming, all my candles are re-perfumed and sugar scrubs, body cream and soap all labelled, so only have my card inserts to do now which I will do tomorrow then I have to iron the bits and bobs I have made sewing wise and then pack the car up ready for me to set up Sunday evening lets hope the weather stays half way decent.

My card today is a girly card it is from the LOTV Art Pads which I believe they are not doing any more have not been on their site for a while as I have so much stuff that I must use it before getting more in or so that's what I keep telling myself.

Well whilst I have five minutes to myself am going to pop along and do some commenting.

Love to All

Afternoon All

Sorry I have not blogged since Tuesday but I am busily trying to get ready for the Fair in the Square which is being held on Monday 2nd May and as per usual I have left everything to the last minute panic stations ahead.

I have made some bath bombs, nourishing body cream and foaming sugar scrubs along with my soaps, candles and cards, plus a side table selling my knitting, crochet and sewing items.  As I can only make the bath bombs five at a time its a long old slog really should buy more moulds but then I only make these a couple of times a year.

I managed to make another card whilst waiting for the bath bombs to do their thing and this is what I came up with

I have had these toppers for ages and never got around to using them so thought a few quick cards just got to put inserts in now and they are finished and all ready for Monday.

Will pop by your blogs shortly.

Love Alison

What a weekend

Hello all


Firstly welcome to all my new followers I hope you enjoy my blog.


Had a lovely weekend, on Saturday I went to Exeter with my friend Dorne whom I meet once a week as we are making quilts by hand the old fashioned way and on Saturday we attended a Free Motion Embroidery Course and it was fantastic really enjoyed the day even if it was full on.

Sunday Alan and I just took it easy as I was shattered and he had been busy all week so needed some time out, keep forgetting he is coming up to 66 years old to me he is still the 24 year old that I married all those years ago.

Not long now until the goodie draw about 18 hours so if you have not entered scroll down to the link and add yourself, you never know Mr Generator might pick you lol x

I was on the phone on Friday to our youngest daughter Sarah and she said she wore a black armband to work and that there was a memorial in her local pub that evening, you can imagine my heart fell and I asked her who had passed away she replied........................... my kindle I dropped it this morning and it is beyond repairing.   Everybody at work was asking her who had passed and if she was ok to be at work you can imagine the reaction when she told them it was her kindle that had died lol xx

Well I have a card to showcase today which I made last week but for some reason did not blog it not sure why so here it is

Well I am off to look at all your lovely creations.

Bye for now

Had a lovely morning

Hello to everybody

I have had such a lovely time this morning, I met up with my darling granddaughter Nicole and our latest edition to the family the gorgeous Darcy Rose, Nicole rang me this morning asking if I wanted to meet up with her and of course I jumped at the chance to see them both.

Didn't do anything much just a bit of shopping but it was nice to have time out with each other as I have not seen her for a couple of weeks now and Darcy is growing so much.  I need to get the knitting needles out again.

I took some photo's of Darcy who is now 10 weeks old and is adorable.

Darcy smiling at mummy

I was singing Darcy a song here and she was smiling away

Darcy telling her Great Nan (me) a story 

Darcy with her beautiful mum Nicole which Nicole sent to me on her phone as she would not let me take a photo of her and Darcy together this morning spoilsport lol x

Anyway as I have not made a card just thought I would show you pictures of two of our beautiful girls just need the other one (Jessica) to let me take a photo of her.

Speak soon.

Alison
