Interesting challenge fo...Hello Sandra and ladies,<br /><br />Interesting challenge for next week, particularly as I don’t do fancy folds. Will have to put my thinking cap on ...... this could be interesting!!!<br /><br />Our weather has been very spring like today, tortoise even came out of her house for the first time this year, definitely a sign spring is on the way.<br /><br />Had an INR appointment this morning, unusual the clinician was running late. The patient before me had to go to be sent to A and E so by the time I got seen he was running 45 minutes late. I felt so sorry for him. OH wanted to do some shopping on the way home. Arrived home in time for a late lunch. The day seems to have flown by. Hope your day has been interesting.<br /><br />Take care and sleep well, Love Brenda xxx<br /><br />Brenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-43683727310705189332021-02-26T18:01:43.477+00:002021-02-26T18:01:43.477+00:00Hi everyone
Great challenge using different folds...Hi everyone <br />Great challenge using different folds for next week, and love your inspiring cards. I may cheat, as I think I have some ‘fun folded’ card blanks 😉 Made an effort to start this weeks, but really not happy with what I had planned! May have to think again.<br />A beautiful sunny day here again after a frosty start, fingers crossed it continues into the weekend.<br />Have a lovely evening.

Haven’t finished this weeks yet, these days I always seem to mess up the first one.<br /><br />Been spilling in the garden this afternoon, quite warm, lovely to outside after being inside all winter. My spring pots are looking a treat. Snow drops, crocus, miniature daffy and hyacinths are just poking through.<br /><br />Gammon tonight, with sliced potatoes with onions and cheese, with a jar of sauce, nice and easy, just the mixed veg to cook extra.<br /><br />Have a good evening all Lilian lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16188496021858629196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-51724631062229092572021-02-26T09:10:35.747+00:002021-02-26T09:10:35.747+00:00Morning from a very sunny Somerset.

These items were intended for my Lucky Dip bags for last year's cancelled fetes. I can slow down this year with making items so able to concentrate on learning quilting tips and techniques. I have some beautiful patterns waiting for me to try out the first block before going full pelt. Practice makes perfect so every quilt video tells me...I'll pace myself on that til a bit more experienced though. <br /><br />However you plan to spend your weekend I hope you enjoy it. <br />Using my 'house map' I'll be carefully considering which room to travel to take a day off in. <br /><br />Love 7 hugs<br />Cheryl xxxcheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-61358169681974968772021-02-26T08:57:59.062+00:002021-02-26T08:57:59.062+00:00Hi Michelle,

No walk tho as we have to go to Stamford, fingers crossed please that the flat is sold this time. It taken a long time and all the work my hubby have to do to get here has taken a lot out of him. Hopefully this is the last time we have to see the flat again but we still be visiting Stamford in the future for it is a beautiful town.<br />I hope the achy bodies will be nice to us today and let us do what we need/want to do, CRAFTING 😄 💕<br />Many hugs to all, Maria xxMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-75028249866621480302021-02-26T07:49:49.650+00:002021-02-26T07:49:49.650+00:00Morning Everyone

I’m already thinking of ideas.<br /><br />We had sunshine all day yesterday, cool breeze but it was a lovely day. Same forecast for today so it look like I can get in the garden. The garden we back on to planted a conifer hedge and have just left it so now it’s growing up and over our fence plus it’s pushing through in one area so I’m<br />going to tackle that area. <br /><br />Michele CraftyCoffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776959710617654677noreply@blogger.com
