Finally

Hi all, 

Well at last I have managed to have a bit of me time and make a few cards. This first one is made using one of the lovely Bobbi images from 

Digistamp Boutique

This one is Bathtime Bobbi and you can find him HERE

I thought a new baby card was apt given the new royal prince has arrived safely into the world this week. 

The papers are a very old digi download and are no longer available :(

I coloured the image with prisma color pencils 

and the sentiment I made myself 

Thanks for stopping by today and for all your lovely messages about my mum, We are moving forward slowly and in the next few weeks will be deciding whether she is going to be going to a specialist rehab centre or whether she is going to be able to carry on the rehab from home. I am hoping for home but I suppose it is what ever is going to be best for her in the long term :) :)

Well what a month it has been!

..Hi all, It's been a long time since I had time to post on here and even longer since I have had time to make any cards :(

At the start of last month my mum suffered a stroke. Initially we didn't think it was going to be to bad but then a few hrs after she was admitted to hospital she suffered a big heart attack then she developed a pneumonia. It was touch and go there for a while and the doctors gave us the talk about not resuscitating etc . After 2 days she had made a massive improvement with regard to the heart attack/pneumonia and I think she surprised the doctors :) :). The stroke itself has affected her left side and although she is regaining small movements there hasn't been that much progress so far as she has had a couple of infections since being in there and also developed a blood clot on her lung so up until the last few days she hasn't been receiving much physio. At the moment as well as going in for normal visiting myself and my step dad are trying to go in for atleast one meal time a day each as lets just say the care isn't all that good and it is very worrying. I could go on all day about that so I best not start! 

Anyhow I have had precious little time to do anything other than the usual work/chores/and visit mum. I mostly have to go on the bus and that is 2 buses both around 30 mins travel so I have been taking a bit of crochet with me. I decided to make something small as it would be easier to do on the bus so I made a start on this little guy. 

I just completed him this evening and I am going to take him in to mum to keep her company.

I just need a name ..any suggestions??

The pattern is free from the lovely Emma HERE

I wish I could do a spot of cardmaking on the bus but can you imagine the looks I'd get carrying a huge guillotine on there lol

Thanks for listening to my waffle

Not cards

And another Terry Kimbrough baby blanket this time in lemon. I don't have anyone to give it to yet, I just enjoyed the pattern so much I couldn't wait to make it again :)

Thanks for stopping by today and have a lovely weekend. By all accounts the weather is going to be good here. I do hope it's the same were you are :)

Beautiful rose

Hi all, 

I hope you are all keeping well. I thought summer had arrived there for a mo...oh well hopefully we will have some more good days before it's winter again..I hope lol

I'm stopping by today to show you are card I have made using some lovely cream card that's on special offer  over at Papermill Direct. It's 270 gsm and you can get a small a4 box right now for only £5 :) :)

The card is actually a much more dark buttery creamy colour than this. It's so dark here I had to take my picture in artificial light and it's bleached it out somewhat. Please pop over to the papermill direct blog HERE and see my teamies creations for a better representation of the colour. :)

The stamp is from Clearly Besotted  Happy Everything set. If you haven't tried this brand yet you'll be blown away by the quality of the products. I coloured the stamp with prisma pencils and simply scored a lattice background on my hougie board.

Thanks for stopping by today
