Johns Birthday and a gift for me

 Good Morning All


It was Johns birthday last week and this is the card I made for him

LOTV topper of a cute footy player as he is footy mad and his team is Liverpool, hence the red background.

I used two pieces of scrap card and hid the join with  hemp ribbon.

I added his name with peeloffs.


I little while ago I treated myself to some lovely Chunky wool from the craft shop as I wanted to make a pocket shawl for winter.
Here it is all finished.



So pleased with the end result and Liz from the craft shop loved it too and asked to make her one, which I did last weekend.
We had a binge TV day last Sunday and I crocheted most of it then and finished in the week, she was so happy with it.
This is it.


And now one of my Craft Club ladies has asked me to make her one too.
Busy busy busy. 

This guy was perched on our garage wall, he has been there for about 4 days.
Is it a grasshopper?
it is about 4 inches long.

  5. I wouldn't like to say what that fellow is Wendy but he doesn't look to appealing.

    A perfect card for John, I imagine he's as worried as us about the mounting injury problems.

  8. Oh he's a nasty looking beastie Wendy, I'd freak out if he was in my home.

  9. hi Wendy,
    what a brilliant card for a brilliant person and that image is such a super one and so sweet.
    I could just see John as that little boy too.
    I do hope he had a wonderful Birthday even in these uncertain times as he is such a lovely person.
    You shawls look stunning and very warm no wonder you are getting orders.
    My your beastie looks nasty I would freak out if that was near me but saying that one year many moons ago hubby and I were on a boating holiday near Cambridge.
    We decided to have a picnic not far from the boat and I had a green blouse on with like brown branches as a pattern to it.
    Suddenly I felt a tickle on my arm and looked to see what it was well it was the most beautiful colured beatle and he was quite large too I was just mesmerised so hubby caught it gently and put it under a tree a few minutes later it was back on my arm again.
    Hubby couldn't believe how I didn't freak out and knock it off my arm as I have been known to do a Indian Dance or two if a spider gets on me. lol.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
