About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Look What I bought

Good Morning All

My title is 'Look What I Bought' but it is rather, Look What John Bought Me.
After Liverpool won the Champions League, John was celebrating and he told me to buy what I wanted!!!!!
Well, I was watching Linda on Hochanda demonstrating her new plates so I got online and ordered them plus a couple of other things, as you do!!!!
So it was a set of 4 plates designed by Linda, a set of Pergamano Pencils and an embossing mat, that's all.


As parchment comes in either A4 or A5 size I always have lots of strips left over, as I tend to make 6x6 cards.
I either cut butterflies or dragonflies from them or punch out flowers.
As I now have lots of flowers and butterflies I thought I would use them in other ways so here is a card I made using a strip.
I just made a fancy border on both edges and used a flower plate and coloured prettily in pink.
Looks OK I think.

In our new Craft shop, they stock some amazing wools and they were displaying a cute,  really really soft Octopus.  Well I had to buy the pattern and a ball of the wool.
And here he is.
I shall make another one Hollie and I am giving this one to Tess.
They are coming over in August yippeeeeeeee.
