Cowls

 Hi Everyone

Today I have some cowls or Shawls to share with you.

This turquoise and Pink one I made for my sister.  She wanted these colours as she colours her hair these two colours!!

I made a pretty Picot edge.

These one is crochet in Cotton so it is quite heavy but so beautiful.

Its a tutorial by Hooked by Robin and is so easy.

I love this picot edge too, it looks very professional.

These will go to the charity.  

And I have enough yarn left to make another one.

Then there were three.

A lovely lemon yarn.

Then there were four, wow,  I've  been a busy bee this week.

They don't take long to make.

This is the left over yarn from my sisters cowl plus some grey yarn.

Sunday

 Hi

Sunday comes around so quickly.

We were not a Craft Group on Friday as we went out for a meal to celebrate Eve's Birthday.

I still do the challenge and I do post it on Facebook too HERE if anyone wants to join in or join my page and keep upto date with my bits & pieces.

This week it is a Sketch to follow and here is my card.

I think the topper maybe from a Hunkydory sheet but I have used most of them on various cards.

Still using my peeloffs too. I never buy them but have loads to use as I'm sure most of you do too.

Sketch to follow.

Reminder for Outlawz Twisted Challenge

 Hi 

Here is a reminder post for Outlawz Twisted Challenge and the theme this month is Pinks.

This is coloured on parchment on the front with Polychromo crayons.

As  explained in my previous post on Wednesday but I will explain again.

This came about because one of my Craft group was telling me about a course she bought  on Claritystamp.com about colouring on parchment, so I thought I would have a go.  I looked on You Tube and found a very old video by GeminiCrafts,  Wendy Walters.

Then I  went on Etsy - KCH Digital Design, to buy some floral outline images and found 100 for less than a couple of quid.

I made another card too, suitable for today|!!!

Using Clarity Crafts Embedders.

Very happy with these two and I am really enjoying my colouring again.

Colouring

 Good Morning

If you follow me on Facebook you may have already seen a couple of these cards.

My friend Eve, from my craft group, was telling me about a course she followed on Claritystamp uk about colouring on parchment.

As I do enjoy colouring I thought I would have a go.

 I looked on You Tube and found a very old video by GeminiCrafts,  Wendy Walters.

Then I  went on Etsy - KCH Digital Design, to buy some floral outline images and found 100 for less than a couple of quid.There is no outline on the flower, just colours so you need a well sharpened crayon too.

 A couple using some inky backgrounds

I'm entering this into Allsorts Challenge 842 - Create your own Background

This one is two backgrounds  -  one from Clarity and one of my pages from my Reverse Colouring book.

Very happy with these and thoroughly enjoyed the colouring.

Sunday

 Good Morning

The challenge I set my Craft Group on Friday was

Squares

Again, my card was made using scraps.

Punched squares for the corners and strips of waste for the background and the sentiment topper is from a Tonic sheet.

I nice easy theme I think.

I have shown these cards on Facebook.  I used last years calendar  for these cute doggy images.  Of course, these cards all went in a homemade box for the animal charity to raffle.

Here is a lovely quote I saw on the internet.

And this leads me on to my friend Val, who passed away in December.  She had been ill for quite a while and I still can't believe that she has gone.  She was my best friend over here and we did lots of crafty stuff together, infact, thats how we met, at a Craft Fayre.

Her daughter asked me to help clear her craft stuff and I have sold most of it and raised over  480euro for Animal charities, causes very close to Val's heart.
