Was that the Summer?

Hi Everyone.

I hope you enjoyed watching the Olympics as much as I did. Didn't Team GB do well? I have to admit to spending far too much time in front of the telly and not doing much of anything else. I did manage to spend some time in the garden in between the showers and now I feel that I am getting on top of it. I will post some photos in the future.

I have ventured into my craft room the first time in a while and want to share what I have made.

I used paper, card and ribbon from my stash, not sure where the sentiment stamp is from (if anyone can let me know then I can add a link) and the stamp 'Big Girl Pants' is a digi download from Mo's Digital Pencil. The inside of the card is also decorated to compliment the front. This card will be for sale in my web shop.

Have a good evening all

Hugs Hayley and Graham

Ooooch!

Well that's number 6 session at the physiotherapy and my shoulder is still not any better. Whenever I come away I always end up feeling worse than when I went. The decission is that I will need ultra-sound to see if there is a tear in my rotar cuff (?????????) All I know is that it hurts and it is preventing me from doing any work in my gorgeous garden. It didn't matter too much when the weather was bad because I could just look through the window and say that there wasn't much that I could do about it. Now that the weather is gorgeous I am still looking through the window at the garden. It has been interesting watching the plants grow and then find out what they are.

The little stream is adorable and Pusskat uses it as her personal drinking hole.

Today's card -)

... has been made using one of the adorable stamps by Hanglar Stanglar. She has been coloured using my copics pens and embellisd using ribbons, brads, brads and papers from my stash. This card will be available in my web-shop soon.

Have a good evening

Holidays .....Yeah!!!

Yeah! Graham has finished work today for 2 weeks. I have written such a long list of jobs for him to do he will probably wish he was back of work. Pusskat will be so pleased to have us both around all day (she's a proper Daddy's girl). I am sure that she thinks she is a puppy because she follows Graham around the garden.  We were a little worried about her when we first moved because one of our neighbours has a Tom cat that was really interested in her. She refused to go outside and when she saw the Tom through the window she would visibly shake. It has taken a while for us to build up her confidence again but she is now back to her mischievious self.

Here is today's card (I hope you like it) -

I used scraps of paper from my drawer and copics to colour in the image which is from LOTV - Milly Flower Power. This card will be for sale in my web-shop.

Have a great weekend everyone

Look where I've been...

Hi Everyone

I have been missing from Blogland for a few days but I have a very good excuse. Graham and I went to visit our new Granddaughter. She's gorgeous! Baby Eva spent most of the time asleep while Graham snuggled her. I did finally get my own cuddle but I did have to prise her away from him.





I managed to complete Eva's little album and was really pleased with it. I have lots of photos of it and will be posting them over the next few days.

Here is todays offering -

 Once again scraps and buttons come from neverending stash and the image was coloured using my copics pens. The cute boy on his potty is a digi download from Mo Manning. this card will soon be for sale in my web-shop.

Have a good evening

A day by the seaside

Today we went to visit a craft fair that was advertised in Exmouth, Devon. The sun was shining, the tide was in and there were loads of little sailing boats in the sea. It was gorgeous. The craft fair was quite small and had everything from hand made soap to wood turned fruit bowls to etched glass. It was interesting to watch some of the crafters actually making their products while we were there. Graham introduced himself (and me) to the organiser of the event and asked how we could get a stall for future craft shows. It was really useful and we now have our names on the waiting list. It looks like I will have to do massive amounts of crafting during the summer holidays to make sure we have enough stock!!!

Todays card ...

... has been made using this cute stamp from LOTV - Milly Flower Power. She is soooo gorgeous!! more papers from my scrap drawer and ribbon from my ribbon box. I love this green and pink together. This card will be for sale in my web-shop soon. 

Have a good evening

SUNSHINE!!!

We have had glorious sunshine all day in Devon. I was assuming that we were not going to have a summer this year but there it was....a great shinning golden ball in the sky. Graham spent the day out in his workshop making shelves for our new kitchen. I spent the day washing the bedding, cleaning the windows, tidying the craft room and cooking (all of which could have been done if it hadnn't been sunny!) The weather man has promised that it will be nice again tomorrow so I must spend some time out of doors.

Exmouth are having a craft fair tomorrow - Graham saw it advertised in a magazine at work and so that's our plan for the day. We don't know anything about it so it will be a bit of a suprise as well as a day out.

Today's card ....

...... all from pieces from my scrap drawer. It can be found in my web-shop.

Have a great weekend

Yeah!!!!! It's the weekend.

According to the weather forecast, this weekend should be good and so we should be able to get out into the garden to try to sort it out. If that's the case then I won't be spending much time crafting. I have spent so much time shut up in my room over the past few days that I think I need a break from it anyway. I still haven't finished Eva Louise's album but it's coming along nicely.

Here is a card that I made recently.

 All papers have come from my scrap drawer (as usual). The image is from Hobby Art - Poppies and has been coloured using water colour pencils. I also embossed the background with an embossing folder (I don't know the name of it...if you do let me know). The iside of the card has also been decorated in a similar fashion to the front of the card. It is now for sale in my e-bay shop.

I did take a short break from my crafting room to do a bit of painting on the wall of the guest room though. It was one of those things that I had been putting off for a while (mainly because the OHP was still packed in a box somewhere)

Guest Room - After

have a great weekend
Lots of hugs
