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

Bits & Bobs

 Good Morning All

I only make a couple of Valentine Cards to go in the box at the Craft Shop and this is one of them, plus another of similar style but a Birthday card.

The flowers are from  digital Junk Journal kit and I think the papers are LOTV.

I used some scraps of embossed card



The Craft Shop has a sale on after Christmas and I bought this lovely, multi coloured chunky wool.
I crochet hats and cowls for the homeless.
I can get about 2 per night done so I have  nice bundle on a Friday to take for the lady who distributes them.
I got about 14 balls and each hat takes about 1 ball.



My craft ladies give me all their odd balls of wool and I use them for the homeless or blankets for the dogs.  Nothing goes to waste.

It would have been my Dads birthday today.  I think he was a similar age to Mum and she is 97 I think but he has been gone for over 20 years.
Its surprising how often I think of him just lately, I dont know why.
