Tatting

Hi guys,

Trying my hand again at tatting..........I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!!

Tried to do dimpled rings and Josephine rings......my thread kept breaking on the dimpled rings.........bugger! So I have given that up at the moment.....will go back do not fear.

So I am having a go at mock rings and trying to make a snowflake......so watch this space.

A Card for Sketch Saturday!

 

Hi guys,

I have tried to make an effort with keeping up with other blogs as well as my own. So I was reading the Saturday Sketch blog and I was looking at this weeks sketch wondering if my mojo would ever come back to me……..

I did feel something but just a little bit……

This is what I managed. I used an old Whiff of Joy stamp called Melinda Helping Angel. I used my new watercolours and water pen.  The papers are from the Kate Knight Spring Fling pad that I got free from the Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine a while ago. Card candy and buttons from stash. To finish the card off I shuttle tatted some little butterflies.

So I would like to thank Sketch Saturday for helping me with the card drought and enter the sketch challenge. If you click on the Sketch Saturday above it will take you t the challenge post.

Wonder what card I can make next??????

My first knitted baby garment.

Hi guys,

Not written in ages once again but I have been busy with crafting. Still struggling to find my mojo with cards but seem to be into my knitting. I have managed to make my first baby garment. It is a coat cardigan from Studio Stylecraft. The wool I have used was original going to be crocheted into my blanket but it didn't seem to go so I needed a project for it. NO I do not have any plans for a baby but I thought it would give me more confidence for when it comes to making something for me or friends. So this is what I made.

It is for 3 months to 6 months old. It is done in Stylecraft Aran. Not sure of the colour as my lovely husband as moved the band I was saving........typical.

I will leave you a sneak look at the next project I have nearly finished.

Knitted poncho

Hi guys,

In a couple of posts back I mentioned that I had started a new project......well I have finished that and here it is modelled by me!!!

Sorry I could not get anyone to model it for me. I can say it is very warm to wear.

Managed to make a double pocket card.

Hi guys,

Well I have managed to make a double pocket card to day for Duncan's Nanny.it was good to make a card but I have struggled to make things gel. The mojo is not back completely yet.......hopefully with time it will come back fully.


I have managed to add some crochet with the little heart, tatting with the heart at the back of the card. I have used my new craft stuff, including the Cinnamon Sugar from Elizabeth Bell, my new watercolours to colour her in. My new nesties which are A2 Matting Basics A and B. Also I have used the labels seventeen. Also bling from the stash.

I think I am going to be brave and enter this card into the Papertake weekly Challenge which the theme is Anything goes. Optional Kraft card but I don't have any of this.

Thank you for coming to see me.
