lili of the valley celebrating friendship :)

hiya, hope that you are all fit and healthy.. seems ages since i have had the chance to colour and make a card, i am not sure where this week has flown too, what with getting together with friends, Hollies presentation evening.. where she received two awards.. well proud of her one was for most improved in English and the other was for highest achiever in Dance…

I’m out Saturday and tomorrow morning…. think that i need to cram some more hours into the week..

anyway. onto my card…. which i am entering into this weeks challenge @ the Lili of the valley challenge blog where the theme is celebrate, and as my title says celebrating friendship.. and to say that i have relied heavily on my best bud Tracy these last few months is an understatement… she is the best… wouldn’t be able to cope with out her… mwah hunny loves ya… xxxxxxx

School Days…

Morning peeps, hope that you are all well,

I have a card to share with you today using the sweetest school boy image ever!! I originally didn’t buy this stamp but bought girl version of it, and promptly kicked myself.. so just had to go and purchase him as well… and yet it has taken me this long to ink him up… shame on me…

good morning..

Nearly the weekend, hope that the sun shines…

Today I thought that i would share something on here that is a little different than a card.. I sometimes get a little bored of doing the same things all the time so like to have a change every now and again.. i have always admired and been a lover of tiny teddy bears, i have crocheted little bears before but have never attempted to make one from fabric, well now i have, and i am really pleased with how it turned out..

 

 

 

isn’t he sweet… i got the pattern from a book by Julie K. Owen, called miniature teddy bear collection..

hope that you like him…

Chasing my tail … again!!

Hiya all, why is it when i decide to do something that it seems such a fabulous idea?…. that is until i am a third of the way through and then decide otherwise…. groan… what am i talking about…. well i made the decision to move my craft stuff back up to the loft… good idea or bad idea… good in the long run, but boy what hard work.. from hefting two desks up two flights of stairs on your own; to countless trips back and forth with stash… and before all that i had to fill all the holes that i had left behind from when i was up there before …….and repaint the loft space… which was a job in itself as i hate sanding.. but luckily Ben gave me a hand with that… yay… anyway i am almost there… she says… lol… i have stuff all over the floor etc.. haha.. but i have a clear room downstairs and a clear cupboard as well… Tom has his eye on my old craft room for his bedroom as it is larger than his current room.. he has even worked out the wardrobe and bed that he wants in there and the cost… which he is paying for.. bless him..

All i have to do now is get used to the sloping ceilings and avoid the roof struts again. lol

anyway enough of my rambling.. and onto my card..

A baby card for Adam

Hiya, I have had this card made for a while now, well since the early part of March… I don’t usually do commission cards as i get well panicky that it isn’t going to be liked, etc .. and then i am stuck with a card that i can’t do anything with.. lol. but what could i say when a sweet friend of my turns up on my doorstep asking if i could possibly make a baby card for her as she couldn’t find anything that she liked…  soppy date here said yes… so with a list of things that she would like added to the card, name of the baby boy date of birth  a chosen image… which was originally a hanglar… but when i saw this sweetie in mo’s shop i decided that it was a far better image for the job and changed it off of my own back , cause i liked it better rofl.. and shaking hands i set to work.. and i kid you not i was shaking like a good un… lol.

luckily she loved the card phew……

i did ask her if it was ok for me to share the card here on my blog but with one thing and another i forgot that i hadn’t shared it on here so here goes…

*A card for baby Adam*
