Hello blogworld,
Well I'm still in a funk and I'm still not overly pleased with the cards at the mo. I really don't seem to have recovered since the school holidays.
And as this is how I'm trying to work, I wonder whether it has a lot to do with it?
I'm sorry that there's not going to be a lot of chat right now - I'm in a bit of a rush, got to get SWMbO from school in 20 mins. She went as Tinkerbell today! The school is doing a fundraiser for Help the Heroes and they were allowed to dress as their heroes - she chose Tinkerbell.
Anyway, here is card:

All done,

Lovely card Sarah, yes your desk looked like mine did before I had to tidy it as I have lost two pairs of craft scissors still not found them. Alison xxx
Fabulous card Sarah love the image. Your desk looks a bit like mine. Caroline xxx
I love the heroes day idea...what fun it must have been to see them all running in to the classroom!
OH my...you have been busy...can't say my desk has not looked like that at times...hangs head in shame...but the good news is...it all cleans up in no time...when you are ready!
I think that is the key.
If I try to clean up when i'm not ready, I just seem to make orderly piles of stuff. Lots of them!
If i am ready, I manage to actually put things away! LOL
Totally gorgeous card Sarah. I love the image and the paper piecing.
MY craft area is the kitchen. Our very small round table is covered in my stuff. Can't remember the last time we sat at the table for a meal! I'm quite behind with my dt cards at the moment and I think it's because my craft space is a mess, and I have no motivation to tidy it! I am having a clear out of stash I don't use, so maybe that will help me.

Beautiful card Sarah, especially love the paper piecing! Have to admit I do have to start with a reasonably clear table/desk or I can't 'create'! Have a lovely weekend Karen x

Hi Sarah,
I found a few weeks back I couldn't find anything I really needed and wanted for my cards, my mojo was at a real low and a large "pile" was starting to "develop" to the left hand side of where I sat and made cards. Was everything I needed in this pile? Of course it was! You did make a lovely card though, what a wonderful image and I love her paper pieced dress too. Hugs, Teresa x
I bet it is your work area that's affecting your mood... although there's honestly nothing wrong with your cards hun! I've got in a fairly good routine lately with tidying up my desk after each card, or at least before I start on the next one, and I feel so much happier about my crafting now I'm not surrounded by huge piles of 'stuff'... I know your table is a kitten-related issue though, so I hope you can get it back to normal soon!
Your card is lovely. I really love this image and that pretty paper is perfect for her dress :o) Hugs, Lisa x
PS. Boris is great... unbelievably naughty at times, but sooo cute and snuggly too!
Smashing card Sarah, love the paper piecing. Ha Ha my table looks just like that, its a good job we only use it at Christmas. Debs xx
