New Home!!!

After having spent the best part of the weekend knee deep in Christmas papers and embellishments I decided this afternoon that enough was enough, chucked the whole lot in a box and went retro instead.
The image I have used for these new home cards is from The Vintage Workshop
The gingham paper is from a pack I had from Costco years ago.

Well Deb should hopefully be getting the all clear from the hospital tomorrow and then next week she is taking a week off as her hubby has a week off too. I am ready for a break so am hoping there will be a slot for me to fit in a week after Deb is back.
After that I expect we will be inundated with requests for Christmas workshops and I will be back to burning the midnight oil.

Wasn't Britain's Got Talent fab last night? Sadly my favourite.....Julian.......didn't win but Diversity were my second favourites so I was a happy bunny.

Anyway I am off for a browse around some blogs before I have an early night. Can't imagine why I am so tired as I have had quite a relaxed weekend really.

Thanks for dropping by.

Here We Come A Wassailing!!!

Well it's that time of year again...............when I start to put together projects for classes. So I thought I would give you a sneak peak at one of the things I have made using the Basic Grey Wassail papers and Core'dinations cardstock along with an Inkadinkado stamp set.
This is a tall gift bag which you could fill with sweets or bath treats.
Because I have adhered a large snowflake to the back of the tag I have fixed the tag as decoration and would add another tag for writing on.

My foot is still very sore and I am having difficulty finding shoes that are comfortable to wear all day. Most of the time I am hobbling about with just a sock covering my dressing. Today though I have left off the dressing and am just wearing two socks in the hope that the wound will start to dry out and harden off. I am trying to walk normally but it's making me feel a bit sick putting pressure on it so one minute I am walking on my toes and the next trying to keep my foot flat......I must look a right sight.

I can't seem to settle down to much today so I am just pottering about and doing what I feel like as I feel like it. I really hate those kind of days but I think it has something to do with mid life moments.......you know what I mean. My head feels like it's full of fluff.

Well I'll go and carry on pottering.
Thanks for dropping by.

Fashion!!!

Early blog posting for me today. I have quite a few jobs to do. Hubby has requested a Spaghetti Bolognaise for tea and then I am going to attempt to hang some more wallpaper for a couple of hours. After that I have prep to do for tomorrow and a card order to finish.
Managing to hobble about better now with the help of my Ugg boots which are cushioning the wound a bit though with a side effect of very hot feet.

Made this card yesterday using an image from CORA who posts images every Saturday.
The paper is from a pad but I don't know who's it is as the company used to go around to shops selling the pads from the back of a van. I only have a few sheets of this black and white left now and I will miss it when it's gone.
The scallop border is cut from a piece of 12x12 scalloped cardstock. Don't be put off buying 12x12 with the scallop. I trim off the scallops...about an inch deep and then you have a piece of 10x10 cardstock left for 2 5x5 cards or for matting and layering.

DD is just making me a bacon sarnie and a cuppa so I'm off to enjoy that before I start the jobs.

Thanks for dropping by.

Butterfly Card!!!

While having a browse around the internet today I came across the instructions to make this gorgeous cut and fold card HERE.
It was just perfect to try out my new Clare Curd papers and to make a card sample using them to show in the shop.
There are some beautiful samples in the gallery on SCS with much more embellishment than I have used.

I have just seen the wound on my foot for the first time (been too scared to look) and nearly keeled over. It is so much bigger than I thought it was. It looks as if it starting to heal though despite hubby's ham fisted ministrations last night when he changed my dressing.

Well I am off to have a veg on the sofa as I am quite shattered after spending the day hobbling about in my room doing the last of the tidying.

Bye for now.

Manic On Wheels!!!

Well I shan't be treading on any plugs again in a hurry........lol!!!
Oooooh my word it don't half hurt.
I have spent the last couple of days tidying up in my room by scooting myself about on my wheeled office chair so my left leg is aching like bahoogery too.
I am so scared....thanks to Grey's Anatomy.......of it getting infected that I am slowly pickling myself in Dettol.
Not made any cards but my desk is nearly clear and I fully intend to make some tomorrow as I have been inspired by my tidying today....coming across things I had forgotten I had.
Hope your all having a lovely Bank Holiday weekend.
Bye for now.
