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

Clearing the Files

 Good Morning All

I have had these stamped images in my stash for a while, they are from Creative Expressions.

I just added abit of colour on the leaves, very simple.

Added punched flowers and butterflies and there is two nice cards for the box.

They are both DL which I very seldom make but I do have afew card blanks in my stash so they need using.



My back is easing abit, just still bad in the morning but gets better as the day goes on. 
Thank you for all your good wishes both here and on Facebook.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All


My Challenge for my Craft Club on Friday was

Santa, Elves or Angels

As I was laid up with a bad back for 3 days last week I did not have time to do a sketch or make a card so I used my Allsorts DT card (see yesterdays post)

The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons  and the link is in my sidebar.

The image was free in a magazine as was the paper


The gifts I gave out were Cherry Truffles in a cute little box, once again, a tutorial from Pootles.




Now back to last weeks challenge which was a sketch

Santa, Elves or Angels for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Time for Allsorts Challenge again and the theme is

Santa, Elves or Angels

chosen by Mervi.



I found this topper in my Christmas box, a freebie in a magazine (again LOL)

Sentiment ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and papers from a magazine.

Because I have been laid up with a bad back this week I have not had time to make a sketch for my challenge for my Craft Club ladies, so I am using this one.

There will be more details for this on my post tomorrow.

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.
