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

Happy Sunday and Challenge

Good Morning All

Happy Sunday to you all.

Masks are now mandatory in our region from yesterday, meaning they must be worn at all times outside the house or bar/restaurant.
*****
My challenge for the Craft Club this week was Tic Tac To.

I used Square White and Lace from the chart below.
I think the digi is from Right Said Fred (I dont think they are still in business producing digis though)
The paper is Country Meadow from LOTV


The blue ribbon is from this stack that a lady left at the craft shop for us all to use.
All the ladies took what  they wanted and I brought the rest home and hung on  piece of card which I punched holes in to thread the ribbon through.  On hand all the time now.

*******

The gifts I gave out were Murray Mints  in boxes I made and tied with ribbon and a charm.

Happy Sunday & Challenge

Good Morning All

This is the sketch for my Challenge this week, for my Craft Club and for anyone else who would like to join in.

My card which I sent to my eldest son for his birthday on Wednesday this next week.


Another one I made to show the ladies


*********************************
Before lockdown I had quite afew bags of gifts ready for my Craft Club ladies.
But when John and I got the munchies on us we would go upstairs and raid my stash!!!
Consequently, the ladies had a mixture today of Mcvities Gold bars and Rocky bars.
I made these lovely faceted boxes for the Rocky bars

These boxes are like a pill box but with angled sides, all tied with Organza ribbon and a dangle charm added.

I think these are very pretty.

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

Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

I hope you are all having a good weekend, is it family time or crafty time?

The challenge I set the ladies at Craft Club on Friday was a Tic Tac To.
I made two cards for this one, both following the top line of 
Pearl, Square and Ribbon.
I used the same papers on both, they were a freebie in a magazine.
The square is a background I made with a stencil and Izinks.

Johns Gerbera stamp and die on this one with lovely flower centres.

This is the chart to follow.

Here are the gifts I gave out - Little Silk Purses.
Handy to carry in your handbag when you dont want to take your big purse.

Now onto last weeks challenge when I gave the ladies a piece of decoupage sheet.


My two cards

Denise

Dawn

And the name drawn was Claire and Nancy won the raffle.

Just an update of the situation here in Spain - From 8am Monday, tomorrow, we are on lock down, only allowed out to supermarket, chemist and walk the dog alone.
So craft shop opening for 2 hours this morning so I will pop along and get the wool I have put aside for a top I am crocheting.

Stay safe everyone.
