New Home

Good morning crafty friends, hope you are well and warm on this cold November morning. I don't normally feel the cold as some others do, but even I think these last couple of days have been pretty cool lol. My family won't believe I'm saying this but I've actually had the heating on extra ;o))

 

Anyway today's card was made for my son and his girlfriend for when they moved in to their lovely new home on Friday. And after the week they had waiting for contracts to exchange etc. they were more than ready for it. lol.
 

 

This one is a Tilda and I decided to sit her on a moving box seen as how it was for a new home card.

 

I coloured the image with Spectrum Noir pens and then cut the image out and stuck pearl string all around it.

 

I used some vintage looking paper on a 6 x 6 Kraft card blank for the base, and then added the sentiment which I printed from the PC and put into a little glassine envelope.

 

A few pearls and some lace and it was all done.

 

Hope you like it. Many thanks for stopping by.

 

See you soon

Craft Room Update

Good morning all!  Yes I'm back in the world again having been between abodes for the last few days, without proper access to my craft cave or study!

 

Leaving my old house hasn't been as big a wrench as I thought it would be.  In fact I've settled quite nicely in with Jen and Alan.  The cats are certainly at home although they still aren't brave enough to venture far from the craft room.

 

Over the last couple of days we've made a few changes in there.  The glass table from my kitchen is now an extra workspace and fits well into the room.

 

 

Alan has added a couple of shelves to start moving some of the newest additions up off the floor so we can actually get in there to craft! In fact I made a card last night for my niece whose birthday is next weekend. She shares it with Jen's son Daniel, and the day after is my son Edward's birthday, so lots of cards HAVE to be made this week lol.

 

We are all back to work tomorrow so we will be spending a few evenings this week finishing clearing the bungalow and unpacking the bags, boxes and suitcases which seem to be multiplying every day.

There is still alot to do as the whole house is over run but at least we are getting there -

s-l-o-w-l-y!!

 

Here are a couple more shots of the stash merger and once we are finished we'll share how it looks.

 

TTFN Jude xx

No Cards, Cakes or Crafts, just CATastrophes!!!!!!!

Good morning all, hope the sun is shining where you are. We are keeping our fingers crossed for good weather today as Jude and my daughter K are doing the Race For Life this afternoon ;-)) So if it's fine I will take my granddaughters and grand puppy! over to cheer them on lol.

 

Well as you all know we have spent the best part of this week moving Jude from her house to live with me and my husband Alan in ours. What I don't think we've said is that the move includes two cats too! Well we bit the bullet and moved them on Thursday straight in to the study/craftroom that my two cats call home!

 

As of the time of writing this post there hasn't been any fighting lol but there is a lot of hiding going on. Mainly from my big tabby cat (Tigger), who I think now being the only male in a house of three female cats and a female dog is feeling a bit ganged up on ROFL.....

 

Anyway there hasn't been any time for crafting so I thought I would show you how the cats are getting on.

 

The two newcomers Cocoa and Ebony have been a little reluctant to come out of the room. They are still very unsure about Molly dog (although Molly is the gentlest dog you could ever hope for, and is brilliant with cats). But they did decide to have a little venture out of the window.....

 

 

 

This is queen Cocoa :-) she is in the running for the fattest cat in England I think, but anyway she was trying to decide whether to go out or not.???

 

 

Eventually she decided to go but kept checking back to make sure we were OK with it lol.

 

and then both Cocoa and Ebony made it as far as the bins ha ha ha. Since I took these pics, Ebony has been a bit braver and gone around the garden, but Cocoa has decided that inside is much better for now. Ah bless, I'm sure they will settle in and sort out the pecking order between them (that's if my cats will ever go back in the study again!) It's a pity that cats don't remember family as Cocoa is mummy to my two cats :o)) and believe me apart from Tigger's colouring they are very alike lol.

 

Right I shall leave it there, sorry for rambling today. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.
