Urchin with Bird–Coloured with One Chameleon pen

First my blog card and then I’ll let you know my exciting news.

Urchin with Bird image from Mo’s Digital Pencil  perfect wintery card.

I coloured the image with only one of the Chameleon Pens (bark) I love the old worldy feel to it.

I also used a tattered lace flourish die and a Memory Box snowflake border die.

Now for my exciting news….. I will be flying out to California in January for CHA and will be guesting shows for Create and Craft live back to the UK. It will be fabulous to see some of my US friends.

Christmas Wrapped Up

Well nearly anyway, I’ve just about finished, 2 more things to wrap and my job here will be done, This year I decided I would use lots of brown paper, I used a high quality roll 50 metres of the stuff and then some contrasting wrapping papers, red bows kraft gift tags and I am awaiting 2 x 25metre rolls of ribbon to arrive to tie packages together, if it doesn’t get here they will just have to wobble.

How are you all getting on?

Dobbin the Crochet Donkey

My latest crochet animal is here, Dobbin the Donkey and this little Character will be going to the receptionist at Create and Craft, Marie has been looking after me for several years and is always interested in what I am up to, she admired both the Lion and the Bunny that I made and wanted both of them so I know he will be going to a good home.

Many of you have asked where I am getting the patterns from, it is a book called Edwards Managerie.

Only Time Will Tell

Finally my homemade wall clock is finished.

I’m quite pleased with it too, so far it has kept good time.

A Couture Christmas

This is the card where I mixed and matched the Couture Die collections to make a Christmas Card, I really love how this turned out, using the Trim set from Enchanted Escapes and the Deco Boutique collection Templates and Corner sets.

Using the Buttermilk Basal card stock and the Satin board, some stickles glitter glue, gold thread, distress inkpad and a bit of love.

A pretty mock silk ribbon and a pretty scrollwork pearl.

and a recycled Christmas card from last year.

Meet Parsley the Crochet Lion

A new crochet friend completed, this is Parsley made for my eldest daughter Lauren.

Both of my girls fell in love with these crochet animals and as Natalie took the bunny Maisy then it is only right that Lauren got her choice of animals so I set to work making the lion for her.

 

This is how I fill in my nights at the hotel while I'm away from home.
