An umbrella day

Evening all

Sorry not been around commenting on your posts but went out last night and these days it takes me a couple of hours to look anything near human lol.  Went to a spiritualist evening with a friend never attended one before as it’s not really my thing but it was fun not that I had anyone from the other side visit or want to talk to me thank goodness.

Then today we went to Sarah’s to measure up the size of table she wants her dad to make for her kitchen.  I made a card before we went it’s another digi image from Polkadoodles the backing paper is one I made myself using Lindy’s Magicals. I then added a few flowers and sentiments

 Alan is lying next to me in bed snoring his head off whilst I type this gonna poke him in a minute either that or put the pillow over his head lol.   Well that’s it from the Jeatt household if you don’t hear from me it will be because I’m in prison after getting an all male jury but if you do hear from me it’s because I got an all female jury and they understand the trial and tribulations of 47 years of marriage lol.

A dismal day,

 Morning all

It’s been raining heavily all night and it’s now 07.51 and it’s so dark outside.  I have just heard there have been two accidents on the A38 main road in and out of Plymouth, one going towards Plymouth and then the other coming out and it’s both  the junction we go onto the A38 and the other is just before the junction we need to come off to come home, some poor love has had their day have been ruined just hope it’s not too serious. 

Enough waffle todays card is made from an digi image from Polkadoodles I bought her pre coloured but will probably go back and order the translucent one.  The flower is from the heartfelt creations sunrise lilly stamp and die cut set, paper coloured with CC triblend pens and card from stash. 

Will again pop by your lovely blogs later today

Love Alison

It’s Christmas again

 Evening all

Thought I would do a quick post before getting dinner.  We have finally put the shed/craft area put back together again after having a good sort out, how anyone can collect so much crap I don’t know.

My Christmas tree die that I ordered came today so think I will be getting a lot of use out of that.  We are going to Sarah’s tomorrow she wants her dad to make a table for her kitchen, so I will be taking all the cards I have made for her to take to work and sell, not that I ever see the money she collects lol.

Todays card is a digi image from Polkadoodles the trees is from an embellishment digi image also from polkadoodles which I printed in different sizes and cut around. 

I will be back after dinner to comment on your wonderful projects.

Stag

Morning all

I am scheduling this post as have an early start swapping freezers over, or at least I will be getting in the way whilst Alan does the lifting and shifting, we also go shopping on a Thursday and it’s a must go day as we are running low on milk.  

Todays card is made from the remainder of a card which a friend cut out a stag and I made a stencil of the cut out area but as I don’t have many inks yet had to use what was to hand, this is what I came up with.

 Will be back later today to comment on all your wonderful creations.  Enjoy your day.

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

Alison xx

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
