Hello everyone
Well it's been a bit quiet on the old card making front at the mo hasn't it! You could put that down to having had a busy week this week and then starting to feel a bit yuk today (it would appear that I'm getting another cold!) or that I've been busy collating what could be my next 'thing'!
But before I show you that, would you like to see a special card and flowers that I got? Nope, well hard luck you ain't got a choice! Well, unless you would like to wander away right now that is!!
So lookey at these:
This is the card Emily made me for Mother's Day
The flowers she made and ones that hubby and Emily went and got for me:
Vase 1:
Vases 2 & 3: (Peter used to own a shop next to a florist and picked up some flower arranging tips so he never leaves them in the bouquet that they come in from the florists. Personally I'm the put some water in and stand back type!)
My new collections! A Mother's Day present
And my first attempts at beaded hat / stick / corsage pins: Whaddya think?
So I have been busy just not really making cards as such - more sorting out beads and playing around making hat pins. Oh and taking apart old jewellery to get to the beads on them.
And, after all my angst, I had a lovely Mother's Day, was woken at 6.10am by having chocolate stuffed in my hand! Emily was awake and desperate for me to open my presents and so the chocolates were the first things I woke to and was told I had to try one right now. Not the first time I've had chocs for breakfast, but probably the first time said breakfast was at 6.10am!!!
Some wonderful presents, a mooch around the charity shops for beads and a lot of time spent with Emily! Who could ask for anything more.
Back soon with a card - now if only I could make one that looks like it could take a pin, hmmm. Off for another mooch with paper, ink, stamps and now beads!!!
Cheerio
