Sunday

Hi Everyone

I have decided to step away from blogging and You Tube for a while, at least through the Summer.

My mojo has gone and my heart isn't in it anymore.  It has become a trial for me to make videos and create posts.

Maybe it's the heat, I dont know.  But what I do know is that if I am not enjoying it, there is no point in forcing myself to create content if I'm not enjoying it.

I am not doing a great deal of crafting other than crochet, doodling and glueing.

I will carry on with my Instagram, Facebook page.

So, I'm not sure if I shall release my DT posts or delete them.

Thanks for being with me and I may be back, lets just wait and see how things go.

Love always

Use Fibre for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft challenge this time is

Use Fibre(fiber)  Fabric Lace etc.

I made a Snippet roll which is used on a page in a journal, either as a pocket or a bellyband to hold an Envelope.

This is made from scraps of material, ribbon, lace, paper, buttons, charms, anything really.

This is it before I took it to the sewing maching and zigzag stitched it-

Once stitched it looks better I think.

Afew close ups.

I like to add a ribbon loop on the side to hang a dangle charm.

I use these, as I said, to make a bellyband.  It is glued at top and bottom onto a page and an envelope or journal card can be held underneath it.

Or, cut  a length of a make it into a pocket.

I love making these and keep a stash ready to use.

Recycle

 Good Morning All

A recycled card to day.   I found this in some stuff I purchased from a lady who was getting rid of all her craft stuff due to ill health.

It looks like a Hunkydory topper and it says Thank You on the bauble.

It will go in the charity box so all for a good cause.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

I had to cancel Fridays craft group as I had my cataract surgery on Thursday afternoon and wasn't sure how I would be.

I wasn't too bad but couldn't drive so I thought it best to cancel.

As last times challenge lasted for two weeks, I did set another one.

A sketch and here is my card

Last weeks challenge was a sketch

Masculine

 Good Morning All

As the theme over at MAWTT challenge is Masculine this month, here is another card I have made.

A very simple one really.

Paper from a 6x6 paper pad and a sentiment.

Can't get much easier than that can it??

I'm struggling to keep up with my posts to be honest as it is so hot here.  Summer has come early here on the Costa Blanca so I tend to stay in the living room with AC and fan on, so not much crafting really, other than what I can do on my lap.

But on a happier note, I did have a great visit to Uk to see my Mum and sisters.

My eye surgery was yesterday.  I had a cataract removed from my left eye so will be struggling for afew days I think

I made a couple for this one both different styles.

This one is a leftover piece of parchment, groovied a sentiment and added to navy card, patterned paper and pale blue card.

The backing paper is from an LOTV  8x8 paper pad.
