Hi, I am so lucky that this week is being spent with a lovely group of friends crafting to our hearts delight, this is our third year of spending a whole week together, doing what we all love. I am hoping to blog each day to keep you up with what I have achieved.<br />
<br />
I started the day by doing a quilting block from '<a href="http://www.todaysquilter.com/">Todays Quilte</a>r' magazine. It was a bit fiddly but quite pleased how it turned out. I am planing on doing a block each day. <br />

I also finished of a cushion cover which I started doing by the jelly roll method and then cut into triangles.<br />

Finally a card made using my newly arrived Uniko stamps <a href="http://www.uniko.co.uk/product/pure-florals-gerbera/">Gerbera</a> I stamped the image then embossed. I coloured them with watercolour pencils and cut them out (I have now ordered the die cuts to match). Mounted the flowers on stitched die cut panel and die cut a banner for the sentiment. Added some ribbon and bling and a little wink of stellar and of course a little heart just for you <a href="http://jules-alwayswithaheart.blogspot.co.uk/">June</a> x<br />
<br />
This card is for my lovely Mum whose birthday is the end of the week, But I will be jetting off to Spain with friends on Thursday can't wait for a bit of time with hubby.

Apologies for the long absence, I guess I have just been busy with holidays and boys doing exams and results and of course some crafting in between. I have been going to a quilting club every thursday at <a href="http://heartsandcrafts.biz/fabric-133-c.asp">Hearts and Crafts</a> in Walkern near my home a really lovely shop run by a lovely lady Bev. I made this baby quilt for a new arrival to our extended family. I have sewn around the castles and some clouds, been a long job so I hope they like it when we get round to delivering it.<br />

I recently bought some dies from <a href="http://www.diestodiefor.com/proddetail.php?prod=fs-FRA-DIE-09430">dies to die for </a>and in my package was some cut out pieces, which of course I have now had to buy the dies for. This card I made using one of the die cut pieces I added a bit of bling, simple but effective I thought. Hope to be back soon as I have got lots of bits to show just finding the time to do the posts.

Just a quick post, after returned from a fab weekend with the girls scrapping, all 14 of us stayed in a lovely converted barn in Needham Market arranged by June from Scrapbags. I created a few pages and cards.<br />
<br />
This card I made using CBS stamps and dies for my sister who has had an operation on both her feet. I am off to Devon tomorrow to visit her and mum for a few days.<br />

Morning, back again as I have finally finished my beginners patchwork piece. I didn't get to choose the material on this one as it was a class, but I do like the bright colours. This Thursday I am starting another six classes following on techniques so will hopefully post some more finished products in materials I like. The classes are held at <a href="http://www.heartsandcrafts.biz/patchwork-and-quilting-183-c.asp">Hearts and Crafts </a>a lovely small local shop.<br />

Hi All, this week I went on a lampshade making course and here is my result. The <a href="http://detolaandgeek.blogspot.co.uk/">Tutor</a> was Detola and Geek, and the workshop was held at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heartsandcraftswalkern?ref=br_tf">Heartsandcrafts</a> in Walkern. I had a lovely evening, I chose my material from Bev's stock and she has some love choices. Pleased with my result, now I need to go buy a lamp to put it on as I have no where in my house that takes a shade.<br />

Valentines surprise, my husband and the boys went off to Goodwood Friday night for some motor rallying a friend was taking part in. I went into the bedroom and the ensuite door was shut…unusual so opened the door to a lovely surprise awaiting me. Then Saturday morning I am making my bed picked up my top pillow and in-between was my valentine card so I had slept on it all night without noticing how funny I am obviously not a princess!<br />

Today has been spent making wedding invitations for Karens daughter. Three of us worked a production line, would have been four but Karen went home being sick with a very bad headache.<br />
I have to say Jules you don't have to worry it won't be-becoming my full time job!<br />
My heat gun done very well I quite expected it to give up and maybe suffer over exhaustion, but it lasted the whole day rather amazing. Not great photos but I was exhausted too.<br />
<br />
Well thats me done going to sit down and probably fall asleep. Have a great week x<br />

Last week I visited Devon for work purposes but was able to tie it in with seeing my Sister, her Husband and Mum so we had dinner together , I also was able to hand deliver her card as I wasn't sure how I was going to post it as it was kind of 3D.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I had some sad news my auntie had lost her battle with cancer, so another sympathy card needs to be made :(<br />
<br />
I had a nice walk today with my as usual reluctant daughter but a bit of persuasion managed to get her out oh and there might have been some bribery as well! Hope to be back soon, I have made some more cards and next weekend have to start on some wedding invitations.<br />
Have a great week, oh and I have lost 5lb so far….. xxCarole http://www.blogger.com/profile/14255604847411539350noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416880666177507627.post-66673845466669998322015-01-11T09:18:00.001-08:002015-01-11T09:18:39.731-08:00Sad Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I heard some sad news today the very lovely lady who introduced me to Scrap booking through Creative Memories lost her mother, so I made this sympathy card using Clearly Besotted stamp and die and sentiment stamp. Thinking of her and her family at this sad time.<br />
<br />
I am going to Devon this week to do with work but the good thing is I will be able to go and see my lovely Mum and stay with her the night.<br />

This card I made using Snippets another one to add to my male collection. I hope you are all settling in to 2015, back to normality. I am looking forward to my week away with the girls scrapping in March and I have now said I will go with another group in April to Suffolk for a long weekend so looking forward to both of them and lots of crafting. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend xxCarole http://www.blogger.com/profile/14255604847411539350noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4416880666177507627.post-32535428940635471802015-01-04T07:59:00.000-08:002015-01-04T07:59:06.567-08:00Miserable Day, but Sunshine in my Craft room<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well it has been a very dull foggy damp day here in the South. I went and had my last Coffee and cake with a friend and daughter this morning for a while as the diet starts tomorrow, yet again I here you say well I am going to try harder and at least loose a stone by my birthday at beginning of March. Karen who works for me is starting as well so we will be having a bit of a competition and putting a £1 in the diet fund for every one put on! Yes Karen did win last time!<br />

So as the weather is rubbish I had a bit of time for some crafting and this New Year I am planning to spend more time home crafting and maybe that will keep me away from all that cake! Apart from going out for walks, I have order a fitbit which will monitor my exercise so will be out walking more.<br />
<br />
My makes: the first one I used my new <a href="http://www.inkylicious.co.uk/elements-2/prod_552.html">Inkylicious </a> stamps along with <a href="http://www.clearlybesottedstamps.com/products/autumn-flowers">Clearly Besotted</a> stamps and dies I thought it might be a good card for a male birthday. The second make I did use an idea I saw on another blog but can't remember whose it was sorry, I used several die cuts stamped Thank you and mounted then added some liquid pearls.<br />

Well hope you are all enjoying your Christmas Holidays. I am enjoying the relaxing break in between a bit of working and today some crafting.<br />
<br />
I made these two cards just using some scraps of paper and cutting them up adding a bit of bling, stickles and liquid pearls. I might be brave and enter them in <a href="http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/pixies-snippets-playground-week-156-157.html">snippets playground</a>.<br />
