Good Morning Ladies,
I hope that you are all relaxed and enjoying the weekend, we have some house 'Titivating' to do this weekend, we bought some pictures for the walls, we got a lovely metal sculpture type thing for above the fireplace and a huge canvas of a beautiful French street scene, it's gorgeous! I also treated myself to a small framed Jack Vettriano picture, I absolutely love his work, I would love a large print but I am happy with my small one. I am hoping that we will put them all up this weekend.
Let's get on with your crafts......
Karen (Above) crocheted this absolutely adorable sheep called 'Simon' , I will add Karen's description below:
It’s one of Kerry Lord’s patterns from Edward’s Menagerie- “Simon” made with yarn that was on offer in Aldi Soooo cheap! £3.49 ish I have enough left to make at least another 5 or 6 He’ll probably go to Harefield Hospital.
He is a amazing Karen, thank you so much for sharing your sheep with us

Lynda
Lynda decided that she didn't like the cover that she had made contact her journal, although I think it was lovely. Anyway this cover is a lot more detailed,
If you zoom in you can see all of the detail, including skeleton leaves that are mixed in with the paints.
The colours that are in the background are simply stunning and work perfectly with all of the embellisments too.
I am hoping that Lynda will give us a quick rundown on how to make this jounal cover, today.
Have a love day xxx
Pat
I love all of the colours that you have used to create the background Pat, and the black silhouette stamps work beautifully.
Thank you much allowing me to share it

Cheryl
Cheryl made a few cards this week, the first two have the "Frozen" characters on, Cheryl experimented with some old ink pads to create the backgrounds for these two cards, she has cleverly added some lovely colours into that background that match the Frozen collection perfectly ??
The Globe card was made using up leftover bits of card, not that you could tell that by looking at it, it's a perfect ''Man' card Cheryl, it would also work for somebody that is going traveling.
Thank you so much for taking part. XxX
That's all for this week's ladies,thank you so much to all of you for taking part.
Love and hugs
Sandra

Morning everyone
ReplyDeleteI just love love love this morning's selection. They just show how much patience Crafters have.
LILIAN- I cannot believe that a top consultant has left his mail unopened for two weeks. What on earth is happening at your hospital. I'm sure his secretary has been through his mail and made sure that urgent matters are on top of the pile. You really must feel angry. HUGS a plenty for you Dear Friend this morning.
Off on our weekly shop this morning and it's our 2 weekly meet up with Jim's Niece and her two children so we will be late getting back.
We have a lovely start to the day here so fingers crossed it's the start to a lovely warm week-end.
The CAFE is OPEN so pop in as the Coffe/Tea pots are hot along with breakfast goodies.
HUGS are winging their way to you all.xxxx
Hi Janet. Enjoy your day with the family.x
DeleteHi Janet
DeleteI hope you enjoyed your meet up today.
Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteSounds like you’re going to be busy this weekend Sandra. I love sone of the artwork by Jack Vetriano- he did a lot of pictures of Southport. They’re all gorgeous.
Lovely pictures of some great crafty projects today.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes & beautiful cards I received yesterday. We had a delicious meal at lunchtime then got a message from my brother in law asking us if he could come over to Southport & take us out for a meal! Of course we had to say yes so we are out again. He came back for a drink then was going to call at the Casino to see if there was much happening.
I’m popping to Tesco soon then need to get some washing on plus a lot of dishes to wash. Hubby is playing a golf match this morning then we’re planning on visiting my Father in Law this afternoon.
Michele

KAREN absolutely adore Simon. What a lot of patience you have but oh, how cute x
LYNDA the artwork on your journal is beautiful. So much detail.x
CHERYL your cards are really cute. Just love Frozen.
SANDRA. It sounds as though your lovely house is becoming a home with your pictures and ornaments. Just love Vetriano. I did have one of his paintings but it disappeared when I moved.
We had such a strong earth tremor yesterday afternoon. The whole house shook and I put my hands over my head expecting the ceiling to fall down. As frightening as it was just can't imagine how awful it must be for people caught in an earthquake.
Ironing and cleaning today but going to sit outside and drink my coffee first.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Love Valxxx
Hi VAL thank you for likeing my journal cover.
DeleteGosh must have been very fritening for you with the strong Earth tremor yesterday. Do you experience them very often.
Sending Hug's xx
Hi Lynda.
DeleteFortunately we don't get many, this is only the third I've experienced in 20 years although stronger ones with structural damage have happened in other parts of Spain.
Have a good weekend whatever you're up to.x
How scary VAL
DeleteThank you for liking Simon These patterns are so easy and very quick It’s done by amigurami - not sure I’ve spelt that right It means you crochet in a spiral So hardly any sewing up to do
Hi Val
DeleteHow scary was that. I’m glad you don’t have them very often.
Good morning all Hee hee! Simon on show! I so enjoy making these animals
ReplyDeleteKerry’s patterns are really easy to follow She also has dedicated videos to follow linked from her web site - TOFT as well I’m hinting at getting her “bird” book for my birthday
Your revamped cover is gorgeous LYNDA I loved the first one It’s a lovely reminder of all the “items” you love to craft with
Your cards are lovely CHERYL Your “Frozen” Cards will be loved by every little girl and I love how you’ve coloured that globe
It was Lavinia stamps stand that PAT has created that beautiful image Yours is gorgeous PAT Mine is “c**p We were in the last class She rushed us Didn’t explain where to place the stamps So my rabbit looks like it’s falling off the side because my fairy is facing the wrong way Didn’t get time to do a”moon” etc and it was quite expensive to do
I had a go at inking an embossing folder last night WOW! What a technique I used Distress Oxides and it worked a dream I hope to have time to make a cc with it
Have a good day all xx
Thank you KAREN for likeing my cover.
DeleteWOW Simon is gorgeous you have the patients of a saint. Lot of loveing care taken
Hug's xx
Sorry PAT. Your Lavinia card is beautiful. They make some really unusual fairy type stamps. I love watching the owner work at a show. She's very talented.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day.whatever you're doing.x
Good morning Sandra & Ladies
ReplyDeleteThank you all for likeing my new cover. I used Pebeo paints Prisem,Fantasy, & moon. First used the Prisem in blue tones applied it just pored it on let it find it's own level by moveing book around once it was covered I dropped some red fantasy dropped in several places lastly the moon in yellow & just dropped that in a few places. It's fascinating to watch it all emerge & level out. While still a bit wet I laid some skellington leaves & some flowers small picture fram ( packet of six from £ shop ) cut down a picture I printed from computer. Added some embellishments. Let it dry over night added ribbon around the edges to tidy it up. Took me about hour & half. Very relaxing & enjoyable. I have now used most of the Pebeo paints Up I got from Margaret. But apparently they sell them in Hobbycraft.
We have lovely sunshine again not sure what we are upto just go with the flow.
I better get my dish washer gloves on 🤓Lol.
CU is still 💤💤 so better get a move on. HUGS for everyone
Love Lynda xx

DeleteHello Sandra and ladies,

There is a small art gallery in Brixham I just love to visit. Last time we were there I said I would just have browse, ( famous last words! ) There was this small frames canvas I just loved it, Well I couldn’t just leave it there, could I.

Thank you BRENDA He’s sitting on my craft chair at the moment but will definitely be going to Harefield Hospital to sell
DeleteHi Sandra and ladies.
ReplyDeleteI simply love Simon Karen. Harefield will be lucky to have him.
Fab cards Cheryl. Love the two with the frozen theme, and wow what a great mans card using scraps of card to make the map.
We’ve been over Craig’s for dinner this afternoon. Went to Badbury Clumps afterwards to see all the bluebells. We walked quite a way round and Petes back is so bad he can’t move. His throat is also burning, not to sure why but it’s been like that in the evening for the last couple of weeks. He was supposed to put undercoat over the new plastering but doesn’t feel well enough to do it now.
Thank you PAT Your make and do from Ally Pally is lovely
DeleteI remember going to a bluebell wood as a child near Aylesbury somewhere and it was spectacular- must have been for me to remember it
I hope PETE’s back and throat improves
