Hello lovely crafters! I hope you are all well. Here as promised are a few more 'batch processed cards' for my 2017 Christmas card list. I am going to have to really go some to get enough made, so please excuse my rushed posts.
Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!

Hello my lovelies. I hope you are all well and having a good weekend! I have gotten way behind with my visiting and commenting I'm afraid, because I have been working on a sewing project.
Those of you who follow me will know that I recently bought a new sewing machine - my old one needed a crane to get it out of the bottom of my wardrobe - and so, I never really used it. Of course, in my teens and early twenties I used to make quite a few clothes, but as time went by, life got in the way and clothes were so cheap to buy, that I kind of gave up on sewing.
However, with my new lightweight machine I have found it so much more convenient to use! So, here is my latest project. Don't look too closely, it's a bit rough and in dire need of some proper 'finishing off', but it's nearly there I think.
I didn't use a pattern, I just 'cloned' one of my dresses in my wardrobe that I liked the fit of. But, I have bought some patterns now, so hopefully, future projects will look far better.
Here is a closer look and there will be some cards in the next couple of days too!
A closer look at the fabric (scuba), which I had never heard of until I purchased it for this project!

Hello my friends. This is a quick visit, as I have loads to do (I know you all know that feeling this time of year), so I won't waste too much of your time with chitter chatter.
Here are a few Christmas cards that I have made . . . I am sooo behind with them!
A couple of closer pics!
More to come as I start the race of catch up!

Hello lovely bloggers! Today I am thrilled to tell you that I was asked to be a featured artist over at the wonderful 'Tag You're It' blog. Now, I don't make many tags, I'm never quite sure what to put on them, but I felt so honoured and excited that I just had to say yes, and do you know what, I loved making it!
First, I die cut the tag, then I dry embossed it with little hearts. Next, I stamped the little onesie on to patterned paper and cut it out after stamping the sentiment and colouring the sentiment, the neckline, sleeves and hemlines in with a coordinating marker. Then I adhered it at the top of the tag so the neckline was around the hole for the ribbon and to give me space for my sentiment.
Finally, I die cut the sentiment from foil card, fed some saddle stitched, grosgrain ribbon through the hole and tied a bow around that in ivory organza ribbon. Here are the pictures of the finished tag.
I really want to thank the lovely Donna Peachey - who invited me - of the blog 'Room In A Cupboard' and Tracey McNeely who owns 'Tag You're It!' and I encourage you to play along as it really is tremendous fun!
I've shown you mine, now you show me yours!
