Paper Embroidery

Have a friends birthday coming up so needed to create a card. Wanted to keep it simple as my migraines and vertigo have been playing up lately.

For future reference, I would recommend just buying one! Especially when you have a furry friend that keeps having a swipe at the thread! Lol. xx

Breast Cancer Campaign Card

To give to a friend and neighbour who has recently been diagnosed. The card has a receipt inside for a donation to the cause instead of taking a bunch of flowers.

Simply made with an embossing folder and die cuts.

Fathers Day Card

Not exactly inspiring but my migraines are in residence with a vengence and a bout of vertigo!

Also this is not the card I'd planned but when it came to printing text on card on the super duper new all in one wireless printer/scanner/photocopier/teamaker it wouldn't do it! Tried thinner card. Still wouldn't take it.

Is it unreasonable to expect an all new singing/dancing printer that's at least 8 years newer than the last model to do all the stuff the old model did and more? Well, it would seem it is. Apparently the new all in one printers don't like card!!!

And breathe..................

A Few Days Away and a Fridge Magnet

Had a few days away in gorgeous Yorkshire and I saw a photo of me and thought there's only one place for it. On the fridge!!


I personally blame the change in medication although I don't think these have been helping. Lol.

Silk Fabric Offcuts

Found these two pieces at a little curtain makers. They are folded into quarters and are large enough to make 4/6 cushions. The embroidered one is Osborne & Little Lorca Passiflora Vine silk fabric.

Now that didn't mean anything to me either until I looked it up, lol.

Anyway, bearing in mind what I know now and that I paid the same price for the embroidered fabric as I did for the chippy lunch at Southwold last week, I'm well chuffed. xx

Couldn't resist taking a piccy. xx

A Day At The Seaside

Have been meaning to go to Southwold for ages so yesterday we decided to take the opportunity and pretend we were on holiday before the tourist season really gets under way. Though I do have a proper holiday due and hopefully it will be better than the last time I was away from home on a surprise four night, all inclusive break. Turned out I was in the Norfolk & Norwich hospital having my appendix out. Lol.

Anyway, had a lovely sausage and chips on the front. But I think it's the most expensive I've ever come across. I won't say how much it was as I'm still too embarrassed to admit how much I handed over. Wish there were emoticons on here but there aren't. (There aren't are there?) (Insert blushing emoticon)


Oh, and if you're interested, one of the beach huts is for sale. They are looking for offers in excess of £100,000.00.

Gulp!
