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

Crafty Ribbons DT & Happy Sunday Challenge

Good Morning All

It is my turn for a Crafty Ribbons creation today and so, when we had the outbreak of Corona virus you could not buy a face mask for love nor money so I decided to have a go at making my own.
I am not the greatest sewer but where needs must!!!
I followed a tutorial on You Tube or rather looked at afew then went for it.
I tried one but when I wore it it steamed my specs up.
So for this one I added a piece of wire across the nose and it is much better.
It is pleated, quite wide pleats and I used Seam binding as ties and stitched the wire inside it.
It was just wide enough but it serves the purpose I made it for.



As you can see, I can tuck it under my specs.
I would not like to have to wear it all the time but I suppose I would get used to it.
Better to be safe than sorry.
I  wash it each time I use it too

The seam binding comes in loads of colours so is great for adding to any creation.
**************************
