Gardening Time

Evening Everyone

I have had quite a busy few days recently (dodging the showers) trying to get some outside jobs done before the cold and frost arrives. Graham managed to plant 2 apple trees that have been in their pots for years. They seem to enjoy their new locationo hopefully we will have some apples in the future. We also cleared a large area that was crowed with snowdrops and hyacinths earlier in the year and managed to seed it for another lawn area. The bulbs that we dug up were moved and re-planted beside the apple trees.

I have also been for a scan on my shoulder and am now awaiting the results. Hopefully there will be a definite decission about what is wrong with it and how to make it better as I have had to have an anti-flammitory injection and another load of tablets. It's beginning to get very frustrating as I am still unable to lots of things that I could do before the accident. I am just so grateful for seatbelts!

Here are todays cards:

 

Aren't they just so crazy?

 

I love these monsters and think they are ideal for birthday cards for young children.The images were downloads and were coloured using copics pens. I am still rumaging in my scrap drawer for papaeers to use for matting and layering. These cards are available from my web-shop.

 

Have a good evening all

It's raining again......

It's a Bank Holiday on Monday and that means that it's going to rain. That's the Law!

The weather is definately changing. When I open the door in the morning there is definately a nip in the air. Pusskat sniffs  at the air and then turns around and comes straight back in. Bless!

Here is today's card:

I just love this image, it's a digi download but I'm not sure where I got it from (if anyone can let me know then I can add a link to the site). I coloured them pink for those girls that are more of a 'Tom Boy' than a 'Girly Girl' and used pinflair glue to give the boots more shape. I used papers from my stash and the sentiment is from LOTV. This card is for sale in my web-shop.

Have a great week-end (try to avoid the rain drops!)

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

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
