I am so very sorry i have not been around for so long. Unfortunately my fall is taking a long time to heal, my back/hip are still nowhere nr how they were before the fall, but they may never be. My Dr was telling me last wk about what a hard battle i have at the moment to stay mobile. If i do too little, i loose it, but, if i do too much, i loose it! Finding that middle ground is just so

I just had to share these gorgeous cards that i have been sent. They cheered me up so much, i just can't tell you what they all mean to me. Knowing that people are thinking of you really is such a wonderful feeling. Each one had a lovely personal note, thank you so very much ladies for your support & for caring. In everyday life, most of the people you meet do nothing to restore your faith in

What a week we have had since coming home!I had to bath Diesel on Monday, as he stank of wee! He was very naughty at my mum's whilst we were away. So bad, she is refusing to have him again, so he must have been bad!! He spent the whole week weeing in her kitchen, she said it was constantly awash with it. He even did it while she was in their, if she turned her back on him. Hence him stinking when

Sorry it has taken me a few days to get back.On the Friday, Oliver went out for the day with his grandma & grandad, while i went into Preston to meet Sheila. We had a lovely day, it really was wonderful to see her again. We get on as though we have always known each other & we put the world to rights lol! We tend to have very similar views on most things, so we know we are always right!! She

Well here we are back from our week away, i think it will take me a month to recover! We went to Peter & Isobel's on Sunday, i must say being sat in a car for two hrs rather took it out of me & i could hardly walk when we got there! But we had a lovely stay. On the Monday we went to Ribchester, one of the oldest villages in England. They have a wonderful playing field for children, a huge grass

I just have to show you this gorgeous lady that arrived this morning. Thank you so much Sunshine, i love her. The scan really does not do justice to her. She has an acetate wrap over her. She looks like she could walk straight off the card! Sunshine has been making lots of beautiful women cards & i have loved them all, so i was delighted when this beauty arrives. I thought today i would show you

I thought i would show you two cards i have received this wk. How lucky am i? They are both beautiful. The 1st card is from Kathy B in America. The tile she used is one of mine, i think it folded so pretty. As always from Kathy, perfectly folded. I just love the cardstock she used, perfect colour for the tile. This is one of my favourite folds as well! Thank you very much Kathy. The 2nd card is

Here are the four medallions i mentioned, using my multi coloured tile. Front & back of them all. They don't look as pretty in the scan as they do for real. You would never think it was the same tile on all would you? I made one for a scrapbook page, but Oliver loved it & wanted it hanging in the window. He then decided he would like some more in different colours, so i just rotated the tile on

I'm sorry, more tiles!!!!!!!! These really arn't my "usual style" But i love them! They look great Made up. So funky & cheerful. It's amazing how just altering some of the colours on the same tile, can look so good when they are folded up. I promise no more tiles (well not for a while anyway lol!)Well i fetched Oliver from school & we went for our eyes tested. I must say, this was the most

Thought i would share some teabag tiles with you. I just love to make tiles & play with images. The best bit is seeing how they fold up & how the same tile can transform into something else due to the fold you use. All of these tiles fold beautifully & look so pretty when folded The split tile i was not sure about, but looks lovely folded up. This has to be my favourite tile ever! It is so

We are so excited! We have a blackbirds nest in our clematis! How lucky is that? Round here very lucky! We have a huge cat problem, seems none have of heard of neutering & we are over run! Thankfully we do not get any cats in our garden, the dogs hate them with a passion & if i see them, i chase them off. We have a couple of Blue tits, Blackbirds & the sweetest little Jenny Wren visit our garden

Just a quickie. There is nothing more beautiful than the face of a sleeping child. I could sit & watch Oliver sleep for hours & maybe steal the odd kiss. There is something so peaceful & pure in the face of a sleeping babe. Your heart fills with love, fit to burst, your pride knows no bounds & whilst feeling so tender & full of love, your feelings of protection surge to their highest levels. You

My goodness, long time no see!I thought i would show you my latest card, the stitched Dragonfly. I really enjoyed doing this pattern & I'm really pleased with how he came out. I have placed a sheet of glittery vellum over the blue dragonfly backing paper. So it shimmers & sparkles. I think it looks so pretty. It is on it's way to a very dear friend of mine.I thought i would also show you a

Thought i would leave you with the other two 3d sheets i made of fairies (seeing as we are having a fairy day lol) The fountain behind are photo's i took at one of our local parks. There used to be a beautiful stately home there, but sadly it burnt down & the remains had to be pulled down. So sadly now there is very little to show of it, just the beautiful gardens. I hope you like the sheets &

Today i thought i would show you some of my parchment fairies. The one kneeling i found a sketch of & thought she would be beautiful in parchment. I think she is my favourite of the three, i had so much fun doing her. I intended to just do her in white & then decided to slightly colour the acorns, then the leaves & so on lol! A friend Carol (Carolivy CoC) liked her & did the sleeping woodland

I thought you might like this 3d sheet? I hope you do. If you stick around, you will find i love PURPLE & i love fairies & most things mystical. So purple fairies are purfect for me! You can see i'm new to blogging, not sure how i got my peacock in the middle? Oh well, never mind lol!I loved doing this stitched peacock, he was great fun to do. I think he would look great in any colour you chose

Well i think we will start with a couple of photo's of Diesel. He is 5months old & just had his 1st trim. So a photo of what he should look like & a photo of what HE likes to look like! I think i will also try & put on a photo of one of my cards. I made this parchment card for my grandma's birthday. It took a good few hrs to finish, but i must say i was very pleased with it when finished. I find

These are are furry friends Mavis & Diesel. Mavis is the top photo & Diesel is below. Diesel was about 3months on these photos & is now 5months old & much dirtier at presant As you can see, Diesel is Oliver's best friend & Diesel just adores Oliver, though sometimes with the silly things Oliver does to poor Diesel, i wonder why?????????????
