My News

I have had a real battle on my hands suffering with psoriasis in fact I don't think I have one part of my body that hasn't got a patch of sore cracked skin, from the top of my head down to the soles of my feet.

I went to see the consultant who was very nice and gave me a carrier bag full to the brim of potions and lotions to apply but in reality said that I needed Ultra Violet light treatment but unfortunately there is a waiting list for it.

After waiting a few weeks today I got the call to say that they now have a place for me and that I will start my new PUVA treatment on 8th September.

For those that have never seen what it is like to live with Psoriasis I've added a few pictures of what my skin is like at the moment.

it is supposedly caused by stress I had mine pretty much under control until Dad passed away last October

Lamb note book from Punches

Continuing with the note books I stumbled across a tutorial to make this cute lamb and it was super easy a scalloped circle a small oval 3 little flowers I used a teardrop punch for the ears but the tutorial used a small circle cut into half and the word slot punch for the legs.

I backed the note book in red card added a black and white polka dot paper and a red polka dot ribbon and I was done.

original tutorial can be found here

Iced Fleur De Li's Pendant

Because this card is white on white is was really difficult to get a good picture you will see it much better if you click on the image to enlarge it.

It was made with the spellbinders pendant die Fleur de Li's I made one earlier this month in Red and Kraft card.

Attention to Detail...

I used crushed glass glitter on the pendant die and the snowflakes to enhance them.

Pure Linen, Just like Mothers.

I can't count the amount of times my Mother and GrandMother would say "you can't beat Irish Linen" so I was thrilled when I stumbled across the company All Tea Towels, not only does she have the most wonderful printed designs but her service is second to none.

I thought these would make perfect gifts for the ladies in my life and set to making wraps for them.

Be sure to visit the All Tea Towels shop

These are the tea-towels that I have so far but I'll definately be geting more, I know several people in my life that are going to be thrilled with them.
