ReplyDeleteMargaret-beautiful cross stitch picture, really lovely.
Lynda-great backgrounds & a really nice card you've made.
Sandra-lovely flowers, I can see you using that die quite a lot.
Didn't sleep well last night (even for met it was bad). I had a phone call yesterday evening which must have been playing on my mind.
I'm not going to the craft shop & Hobbycraft today as I really don't need anything at the moment. I'm just going to pop into Southport for a few bits then home to watch the Sue Wilson shows I've recorded. I'll watch the rest when hubby is away.

Beautiful flowers SANDRA, they look stunning and thanks for the quick tutorial on how to make them, and MARGARET that is such a beautiful cross stitch, so thoughtful and a beautiful keepsake. I love your card LYNDA I love making shaker cards with Sue's Perspective dies, I must collect the others. I have HAPPY and SMILE Seeing your "plays" with Pixie Powder makes me eager to have a go with mine

MARGARET wow what a lovely gift you made for Sandra & Paul it's beautifulI
Hope your coffee morning goes well for you I'm sure you will make lots of money with all your beautiful cakes I would buy all your Lemon Drizzle cake HaHa ( I wish ). Well we have some lovely Sun this morning & just light breeze so I feel a walk comming on. Not upto much today so I will make Lisa & Ian a sympathy card & I think I might do some Christmas cards too. I'm going to make a Lasagna for tonight's dinner.
SANDRA I had a look in the range yesterday for that green flower I put on your birthday card but sorry they didn't have any I will look in Hobbcraft for you.
Took 11 tablets this morning so I'm rattling.HiHi.
I think I better have my shower as got some washing to put on the line so will look in later . Love Lynda xx
Hello Sandra and all who pop in today,
ReplyDeleteSandra, What is beautiful keepsake you received from Margaret for your special anniversary. Margaret you are such a talented needle lady. I just know Sandra and Paul will treasure it as it's such a really thoughtful and personal gift. LOL
Lynda, Love the card you made for Terry, especially as you had used one of your Pixie dust pieces of art to display the focal point. I'm sure Terry loved it. I have played with my pixie dust, one piece is okay, others I think I used the dust as if I was using a salt or pepper pot, so the dust was heavy in parts. But hey Ho it's all about experimenting, well playing ha ha. LOL
Sandra love the flowers you made, did you fold, roll or scrunch them up after you had spritzed them to get that lovely petal effect?
Have managed to do two machine loads of washing, The sun is shining and there's quite a good breeze, the second load was all towels, they will feel lovely and soft from all that blowing around, most of the first load - bedding, plus a few bits is already dry. It's such a satisfying feeling,........ I'm easily pleased.
Margaret, I hope the coffee morning went well, I'm sure all the cakes were sold or eaten. Now sit and have some me time, you really have earned it. LOL
Janet, I hope your tummy is responding to treatment, sending you a very special gentle hug, lots of love and prayers. XX
Gosh - It's time I made some lunch, don't know where the morning has gone, will pop in later.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Love and hugs for everyone, Brenda XXX
Hi BRENDA thank you very much for your lovely comments on Terry's card yes he did like it. He is feeling better thank you
DeleteThank you also for liking my backgrounds. Some of mine are quite heavy in parts but when you cut them down for a background & put die cut over the top it looks fine hope you haven't bined them.
Love Lynda xx
Hi Lynda, no I haven't bined them yet! I have just been watching SW on Hochanda, and she used a Blue/green for a sky backround it looked lovely, as one of mine is similar colour I might just be tempted to try that. Sending love and hugs to both you and Terry XX
DeleteThank you my friend
DeleteLove Lynda xxx
Hello Everyone, blowing a gale here, and rain is on the way.
ReplyDeleteSandra, what a beautiful gift from Margaret, and your flower is lovely, have looked at these dies many times, but have resisted so far.
Lynda, your card for Terry is great, hope he's feeling better. Love your pixie powder papers.
Not doing much today, think the after effects of the flu jab have kicked in today, didn't get much sleep, hope to be better tomorrow.
Have a lovely rest of Saturday, hugs Lilian

Thank you for the best wishes for my McMillan Coffee Morning,it went very well & I made £261.45 with a little more to come from people who couldn't make it. It was worth all the hard work but a very big thank you to Sue, for making coffee & tea & keeping washing up going & Gem for taking orders & fetching & carrying, without them I couldn't do it, not forgetting Alan for putting up with the disruption, mind you I think he enjoyed chatting to different ones!! I will send photos to Sandra of the cakes.
I have had strick orders from Sue to relax now so no cc from me this week I am afraid.
