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

 Good Morning All

Wow, last day of January already, time is certainly flying.

I have two cards to show you today made with the fab Groovi system from Clarity stamp in the UK.

This is one of my fave plates, Agapanthus, love it.

The brad at the top has a butterfly on it gorgeous.


This one is using an off cut  to cut  a Butterfly, still makes a great card.
Again I used one Butterfly brad and two pearl ones.


I have finished another pram blanket for the charity.
I followed a YT video from Coco Bella Crochet called Alpine Stitch.
It's easy to follow and she explains very well too.

I also boxed up another set of 8 cards to go to them aswell.
I dropped them off on Monday along with some cartons of milk and baby wipes too.

 Good Morning All

As this post goes live I will be sat at Liverpool Airport waiting to come home.

I have been to stay with my great friend Trudy and visit Mum and my sisters.

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

Welcome back.

As this post goes live I shall be at Alicante airport for a flying visit to NW to see Mum and family.  As Mum is quite deaf now it is very hard as I cant talk to her on the phone.  One of my sisters does put her on video call on Whats app so I can see her and she can see me but her hearing is quite bad now.

****************

The challenge for my Craft Group this week is a 

Man or Boy card

My Card  What would I do without LOTV!!!! They are great for Man cards.

The gifts I gave out were Twix finger bars

Stamping

 Good Morning All

I am getting ready to go to UK to see the family on Sunday, just for afew days.  I have arranged it so that I dont miss any classes, so back on Wednesday  ready for Journaling on Thursday.

My card to day is a small  5x5.

Playing with my Oxides and a stamp set that my Friend Val was getting rid of and I thought the tree would be good for a Sympathy card.


One more for a charity box.

Crochet for Baby

 Good Morning All

When John and I were in the UK in December for his sons wedding I bulked out my return  suitcase with DK wool in a  lovely mint colour, great for baby blankets.

Here's three that I have crocheted for the charities.

This one is Mint, Cream and White.

A pattern form the Fiber Spider



Another pattern from the Fiber Spider



And finally a smaller one,  rectangle shape,  more pram size.
This is from a YT video by Blossom Crochet 
HERE



I find all the patterns on You Tube as I find it easier to follow than reading a pattern.  I have added the links for you with each picture.
