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

 Hi Everyone

Sunday is the day I show the challenge I set for my Craft Group.

Although we didn't have a meet at the shop but instead, we went for a meal for one of the ladies Birthday.

I still give them a challenge as I show it on my Facebook page too.

This week it is

Dogs

Here are my two cards.

This one using my scraps as shown in a previous post.



I  have been busy this week making Christmas cards, both for my own use and two boxes to go in my hairdressers and beauty shops.
Hopefully they will sell afew so that I can give much needed funds to the charities.

Not A Card

 Hi

Today I have a Mini Envelope Bellyband for one of my Junk Journals.

3 Little envelopes with a strip over to keep them closed and the strip holds with a mini magnet.



Here's one in a journal.



I added a little dangle charm at the bottom.


Here's one I added to another Journal


I have a You Tube video on making these.




It's fun making the mini envelopes too as these can be added to the front of a card to hole a secret message.

Backgrounds from Scraps

 Hi

We all end up with lots of scraps of card and paper.

This is one way I use my strips of card.

To make backgrounds for my cards





You will see alot of these being used in future posts.


I know its Not a Card Wednesday but this is what one looks like using that style of background


How do you use your scraps?
I would love to know.

 Hi Everyone

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

The challenge I set the Craft Group on Friday was a little bit different

A foreign country or landmark

I had these images and used them on a variety of cards and though it would make an interesting challenge.




I did give out the images but as a couple of the ladies weren't able to make it on Friday,
 I gave them the Anything Goes option too.

Well my crafting mojo has definitely  returned, I want to stay in my Craft room for ever!!
Christmas is in the Air in there and getting started on my cards and gift bags.

Crochet Blanket

 Hi

Today's post for Not A Card Wednesday is a Crochet Blanket or Shawl.

I bought this yarn when I was in UK at my sisters afew weeks ago, it was very good value but also soft, perfect for a baby blanket.

I used the corner to corner stitch but in a rectangle so this blanket measures qbout 90 x 100cm.

This will be going to the charity when it gets cooler.

I followed this pattern on You tube

From Bag O day channel.




The bonus is, I don't need to do a border as it ends naturally with a scalloped edge.


I like this colour combo too, do you??
