Hopping Around!!!

Another plain and simple card.
Hearts are by Paper Cellar and the flowers are made using a Woodware punch.

I'm hopping around a bit today after a bit of an accident this morning. I caught my big toe on the front of the sofa when I was putting Ruby down for a nap and ripped a huge chunk of nail off. By gum it didn't half hurt but I didn't realise what I had done until I had left a trail of blood through the lounge and kitchen. I did a bit of doctoring on myself to remove the bit that was hanging off and now it's strapped up it's not too bad. Just keeping everyone out of my way so they don't stand on it.
Ruby is fascinated with it and I have to keep taking my sock off to show her my plaster. She touches it gently and says 'poor grandma'.......better than any pill off a doctor that is.

Anyway best go and feed Mr Manic else I shall get sacked.
Thanks for dropping by.

Where There's Muck!!!

 

After spending all day ferreting in mucky corners and cleaning up all the builders dust I thought I would post a nice clean card tonight.

I love the embossing on this card.

To treat myself for all my hard work today.......and because I am shattered...lol.....I have just watched the last of the Amish programmes. They have been brilliant and I have so enjoyed learning more about their way of life.

Another peaceful day tomorrow but I can't start on the work I want to do until DD gets up at lunchtime so I will be crafting for a while before I get the bucket out.

Bed is calling me now though so I shall go and have a read with a nice cuppa before snuggling down to sleep.

Night night.

Cosmo Butterfly!!!

 

A simple card to use up some nine square backgrounds I made ages ago using up some sheets of squares from a Cosmo Cricket kit. Luckily I had enough offcuts of paper to cut out butterflies to match.

I've made quite a pile of these in various colours but this red is my favourite.

I'm getting pretty fed up of feeling 'off it' now. I still have this cold. It's not as bad as it was but now my lips are erupting in cold sores. I must be very run down as I only get them when I am at my very lowest. It's my follow up visit to the doc on Tuesday so I think I will mention it then.

The bathroom basics are in place now. Just waiting for the joiner to replace the old door and do the shelving in the alcove and then I can start the tarting up bit. Mind you there's not much to tart up apart from a new mirror, loo roll holder and baskets for the shelves so that's not going to take long.

It's been a good crafting day today which is a good job as tomorrow is a housework day. Mr Manic will be at work and DD will be in bed so with nobody under my feet I should get everything done that I need to.

Right...I am off to 4oD now. I'm watching the two series about the Amish which are absolutely fascinating.

Thanks for your visit.

Spring Flowers!!!

 Some simple cards made using images from PC Crafter and some Dovecraft paper.

Unfortunately I discovered that PC Crafter is no more when I went to the website the other day.

We now have a loo and a shower......yay!!! There is a problem with the basin......it's too big. I have phoned B&Q this morning and they are going to exchange it for a smaller cloakroom basin. Just need DD to awake from her slumber now to take me to fetch it.
So by midweek we should have a functioning bathroom. We have to have the old door put back for now as there is no modern equivalent size and they have to be cut down. Mr Manic has said that I can have a custom made ledge and brace door with a latch which is something I have always wanted so I am one very happy bunny.

Lasagne sauce is simmering on the stove so I am off upstairs to do some card packing.
Thanks for your visit.

Lovin' Dude!!!

 

I am so loving the Dude Cricut cartridge. It's very fiddly cutting out all the layers but I find it quite therapeutic to sit and have a cutting session.

The background paper is Costco. It seems like all of my male papers are in that collection and I am just about out now so I must have a look round for some replacements.

No Ruby tomorrow as the other grandparents have been up for the weekend looking after her while mummy and daddy went to some kind of function. So first stop is the docs in the morning for my annual fasting bloods, then drop off some cards at the shop before I come home to get busy in the kitchen making a lasagne. Once that's done the day is my own apart from making tea for the builder so I shall be doing some more card packing and hopefully making. My mojo seems to have come home and I have got quite a few done this weekend thanks to Mr Manic taking pity on his poorly wife and doing all the cooking.

Oh lordy.....look at the time. I had best get to bed seeing as I need to be up early.

Tara for now......and thanks for your visit.
