Get well soon

Morning...

Over at CDAC the next challenge is up and running

and if I am totally honest I forgot about it

I have had the image sorted and ready to go onto a card

but just not had time to make the card up

So last night after spending my craft day painting the kitchen

I thought I had best get one made up so I can get my entry in

here it is
The Image is by Priscilla Styles

 I have paper  pieced the sofa... and the wall paper behind

Then I coloured kitty with my  Speecctrum Noirs

And looking at this I have not coloured the flowers on the window sill....

he is rather dopy looking isnt he..

thats what made me decide to do get well

he looks like hes flopped there and is not moving until he is better

Right time to go again..

Life is getting in the way of this blogging and crafting

thanks for stopping by

Monday morning

And what a horrible one it is...

I have not seen so much rain in ages..

I have 30 minutes before I have to tootle to work

I have a card to show you all

Made for a boy

15cm square base card

layered with blues

The Yellow I wanted to look like a strange star

not sure I got that look

I made it from scraps

so it is not one whole piece.

 I coloured the image using my Spectrum Noir pens

and it was nice to colour

Must order some more...mine are now dry and not working

the Image is from Bugaboo !! I think

 He is so cute.. I think I won him in competition while I was in Portugal

long time ago now

I have arrange for myself to have a craft day on wednesday

I have been busy all weekend so I have the day free

my evening up until will be getting things ready..

now I am not sure if I have shown these

its me and Hannah ready to go into a cave

can not for the life of me remember where

all I know is its on the penines...lol

 Here we are... again this time in the cave... not much headroom..

and I can tell you it got lots worse..

Paul found it amusing taking pictures but I am not showing them on here

It would put you off your food for weeks...lol

and I suppose we was not really dressed for it either...lol

it was hot and sunny out but oh so cold down there

Right I have to go now...

work to get to I may get back online later

while having a late lunch

but thanks to each and everyone of you for popping over

even if its just from time to time

I went to the local garden center yesterday 

to get something for this..

I have an idea you see

I thought I would do a Christmas theme candy

as am sure it will come in handy

And they don't seem to have much in yet !!!

so a picture will follow

Am going to see what I can order online

sooo with that in mind

Hello and evening all

Hope your all well

I have had a busy day today

been to work and wow for a little farm shop

we are kept on our toes... 

I was just checking in on things as I had an email alert on my mobile

telling me I had a comment

and I have noticed that I now have an amazing 61 Followers..

and you know what that means..

yes I will sort out a candy

for all of you to enter

I will do a post in the morning with a picture

I am sure I have new things in a draw

anyway I also thought I would share a picture with you

It is me and Paul

This was taken two weeks ago

when we went down the coal mines with Paul's sister

they had a photographer there so we thought why not

I do have another pic (on the pc)

which I will pop on in the morning

it is all of us together.

It is a lovely morning out

and only cost's £2 each, and your down the mine for over an hour

if you really want to you can ask for the £2 back

but most people don't as it goes towards the upkeep of things.

Right I am going as I am doing a first attempt on knitting

a HUG MUG..

I have seen Toni over at My world sort of make them

and really like them so found a pattern

and I am attempting to make one

it is the first time I have ever added stitches while knitting

and a first for following a pattern

so I have had to look up what all the letters mean

K1, M1,... haha..oh and would you believe

I even had to look up GS... Garter stitch..

omg whats that stitch I don't know it

turns out to be what I call normal stitch...lol

right wish me luck.. it doesnt look that big 

so I may have a picture to show in the morning

Thanks for stopping by
