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

Clover or Shamrock for MTTC

 Good Morning All

My Time To Craft is starting with a new challenge today with a theme of  

Clover or Shamrock

As I didn't have andthing suitable in my stash, I decided to draw one in my Sakura 4x4 Sketchbook.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you will know I love doodling and I bought this book when I was on holiday in Cordoba early last year.

I am no expert by far but I enjoy it and find it quite therapeutic.


Here are afew more pages.
Black fine tip pens and colours.


This one has abit of shading with a soft pencil.


I sometimes use stickers too.

Outlawz Colour Challenge

Good Morning All

The Colour challenge over at Outlawz is this Rainbow.


I printed that same image and made a Sympathy card.
The backing paper is from Clarity Crafts UK
I had a litlle ink smudge so coverd it with a ripple peeloff.!!!!

I thought this would be a nice card for someone that has lost a pet, as they say they cross the rainbow bridge, not sure where that comes from!!

I also found a new crochet stitch 
(new for me) and this is my 2nd blanket which I took to the charity on Friday morning.
I have used odd bits of wool that I have been given just for this purpose ie. making blankets for the charity.
