Here are two cards I made tonight when the lights finally came back on.....had a power cut. So its now midnight and I was going to have an early night after my busy weekend away with hubby, who has flown out to Geneva today so bed to myself tonight. My inspiration for these two came from Jules 'always with a heart' blog
http://jules-alwayswithaheart.blogspot.co.uk
and the lovely papers of http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk
 "Marshmallow Paper Pack and Isabelline"



Below is a picture of the outside of our hotel in Budapest and another inside looking down into the foyer, it was a lovely hotel. The Boscolo,  can highly recommend. I will post some more photos of the weekend, but think i need to go to bed now.

Hairy Goat Mystery Photography Tour



Here are some photos from  my London Photo tour yesterday. I had a fab day with a good group of friends from college. The Hairy Goat Tour was first class the lovely Corinna who guided us was very knowledgeable on history and photography. I took over a hundred photos which I now need to spend some time sorting. This is just a few of my favourites.

The Scaffold Globe was near Spitafields Market.






This stair case is in The Threadneedle Hotel, we were allowed in to take photos, thanks to the friendly staff.

This was a welcome bit of warmth as it was freezing!

Made this card last night for our special friends daughter who lives on The Isle of Mull in Scotland, can't wait for our regular annual trip back up there in October. Hope she likes the card.

Tomorrow I am off up to London for my photo mystery tour so hopefully will have some good shots to show you. Hope it warms up a bit as it is freezing brrrrrr.

My Knits



What a beautiful day it is today, it is so nice being able to peg the washing out in the fresh air.

My pictures today are of my knits. Some of my friends are having babies or their daughters are so I have been busy knitting these bits. The cardi is for a friend who knows she's having a girl its her second baby and the other is a boy so she is very pleased I hope she likes my wooly.




The blanket was for my other friends daughter, but I have already given her one blanket I knitted so might keep this one for my grand child, which by the way I hope is a long way off!

Well I am going for a long walk in the sunshine so better go find my walking boots.
