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

Groovi Butterflies

 Good Morning All

Afew Groovi Butterflies here today.

I try to use scraps of parchment this way.  Once I have the butterfly snipped out I keep them in a box until needed. 

I just do a shape for the frame and snip it out or use a Clarity Die.

These two are just the butterfly glued on top of a shaped piece.
And add a sentiment.



I may have shown this card before, I have been a bit mixed  up with being away.
I'm not quite as organised, missing my DT work as Diane from MAWTT and Crafty Friends seems to have given up blogging so I have no design team at present, will have to have a look round.

Groovi

 Good Morning All

Today I show a couple of groovi cards.  These are quite straight forward with no embossing or colouring.  Quick to make and great to fill the charity boxes too.

A little bit of grid work and snipping.

Crochet Shawls

 Good Morning All

As you know I love to crochet when I am watching TV at night and here are afew shawls I have made.

I give most to the charities but always keep 2 at home, 1 for a boy and 1 for a girl, just incase anyone asks me for one.




I find all the patterns on You Tube as I find it easier to watch instead of reading a pattern.
Also, I like to crochet a shawl in rounds instead of rows, I find it easier.

************
Are you all looking forward to the Coronation on Saturday, I am, I love all the pomp and ceremony.  I'm not a massive royalist and not a great fan of either of them but they do a good job.
The UK always do a great job with this sort of thing and, although it is supposed to be scaled down but it will be good anyway.
Thanks for visiting.

JND Stamp

 Good Morning All

One of my Journal Class ladies sent a bag of goodies for me and inside there was one of Johns Magazines with the Stamp set,  Die

 and Emboss folder still with it unused!

So I had a play with the stamp set first.

I used the largest stamp on these two cards.




This is the centre spread of the journal I showed on Wednesdays post and I used the tiniest 2 stamps on the belly bands holding the tiny notelets in place.


Even though I am trying to destash my stash I cant refuse a gift now can I   ????

Two Journals For Sale to help the Charities

 Good Morning All

I have two journals for sale and I have flip throughs on my You Tube channel  -   HERE

I only ask 20 euros each and that covers postage and the rest goes into the charity box.

I help 2 charities here, one is Animal rescue where we got Rico from and the other helps the poor and homeless with food supplies.

Here are pics of the front covers.

There is lots of journaling space and ephemera in envelopes to make it your own or it would make a wonderful gift.








See the video to see full content and how beautiful they are inside.
