We still worry about our children even when they become adults with their own children. I hope and pray he is not kept waiting for the results.xxx<br />JANET love both of your cards, the first one is a gorgeous colour, and the floral embellishment is really beautiful. The zig zag card is really different, not sure how your K and N ladies will react. But as you will have most of the card prept. for them I'm sure they will rise to the challenge. I hope I'm right, as some have been negative in the past. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous creations. LOL<br /><br />VAL, hope you have a good flight and enjoy your holiday in Cape Varde.<br /><br />I started to leave a message this morning ..... well I opened the iPad, but fell asleep sitting there, that's about as strenuous as me my day has been. My energy level is zero. I hope and pray it returns soon. I do realise that I'm very lucky, I have a great nurse in my OH. He really is a rock. <br /><br />Sending love and hugs to all, Brenda. xxx<br />Brenda https://www.blogger.com/profile/14121800821999942200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-52234111670546630612017-01-13T16:05:38.810+00:002017-01-13T16:05:38.810+00:00Hi Elaine

I think we tend to focus on out newer dies. Memo to self get out my old dies and have a play. <br />Like the double zigzag card as well, your K&N ladies are very lucky if they get to make this card.<br />Well we sort of had a little snow flurry thus morning, but Pete managed to get the washing dry,<br />Hope that Matts test go ok Sandra and it's not to much to worry about. Hopefully they're just make no doubly sure it's nothing much to worry about. They always say to Pete don't worry but you always do. His scan is through but it's at the JR his others have been at the Churchill. So just waiting for the MRI and the bone scans to come through now.<br />Wrap up warm ladies if you have to venture out.

Totally forgot about it on Wed and did the same yesterday until I had a email from Pat in the evening, I was going to come in after replying to Pat but forgot again! This blooming forgetfulness is driving me mad!<br />Sandra, both of your cards are lovely. Yesterday's is really gorgeous, I love your background, stamped perfectly of course. I hope you were delighted at creating such a beautiful card my lovely. <br />Janet, your cards are both beautiful, I love the lively flowers and purple hues of the first one and I'm looking forward to your tutorial of the second one as yours is lovely. I hope your k and n ladies appreciate the time and effort you put into planning their craft for them! <br />I was going to Mum and Pops today but was waiting to see how hard it was going to snow as it was laying really fast and then started to feel unwell so obviously stayed at home so not a happy bunny at all. <br />I am going to go back and read what you have all been up to.<br />Lynda and Brenda, I do hope you are both feeling better.<br />Sending love and hugs to you all with extras for Lynda and Brenda.

I'll be thinking and praying for him and you Sandra.<br />Love today's cards Janet. I hope you manage to do a tutorial as I'd love to see how it's made.<br />Stay safe everyone. The weather across the Country looks diabolical. Hope every one is ok.

Well, after a slightly sleepless ...Morning ladies,<br /><br />Well, after a slightly sleepless night when the wind howled and heavy rain drops clattered as they hit the windows, we seem to have escaped the forecasted 'thundersnow'. It is still very windy this morning, with grey and pink clouds scudding quite briskly across a very angry sky. The sun has arisen from its slumber and as I look out of my craft room, a house window to my left on the street behind me, has turned to a bright shiny mirrored gold.<br />No damage to the garden, in fact it looks very tidy as the wind has blown away many fallen autumn leaves. My corkscrew willow's branches are whipping themselves to a fury. Bit like the Thumping Willow in Harry Potter books.<br />Small hailstones are gently tapping the windows as I type. <br /><br />Lovely cards Janet, I hope your Knit N Natter group love the double zigzag card, especially the lady that always moans but never comes up trumps with her own turn.<br /><br />Spent yesterday sewing a back cloth and overlocking costume seams for the Panto and looking after Tiegan who was not well. A thumping headache and a dry cough wracked her chest meant she had not had much sleep at all the night before. Can always tell when she is ill, she goes so white as though her blood has drained from her face. TLC from nanny cheered her up. <br /><br />Cuppa calling me, I'll pop in later to read your comments.<br />In you are out and about today, wrap up warmly and take care.<br /><br />Love 7 hugs<br />Cheryl xxx<br />cheryl brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890543787200668122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-23950817795443191792017-01-13T08:28:41.284+00:002017-01-13T08:28:41.284+00:00Hi Sandra , Sorry i have been missing , a very bus...Hi Sandra , Sorry i have been missing , a very busy worrying time for me too with a poorly son he was not having Chemo Christmas week, then last week he was fit enough to have it and it seems to have hit him badly . <br />I do hope your lovely son gets sorted and will be well again soon , i will include him in my Prayers .<br /><br />Beautiful cards from your Ladies loving the fairy on the first one.<br />The zigzag card is lovely too but looks a bit too complicated for me .<br />Stay warm everyone <br />Elaine H Xnattybootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506852094741564645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-14270790754700077752017-01-13T07:24:58.221+00:002017-01-13T07:24:58.221+00:00Morning Everyone
I hope that all of you are safe/d...Morning Everyone<br />I hope that all of you are safe/dry and warm and that you're not having to cope with lots of snow etc. Lynda I do hope that your son is now safe at home.<br />We never do stop worrying about out children. Mum always used to say that "we worry when we're carrying a child; we worry when they're born that they have everything they should have; we worry when they're child and then continue worrying when they grow up and leave home", and she's right.<br /><br />SANDRA- I'll be with you in thought Dear Friend as always but with some extra this week. HUGE HUGS on their way to you.<br /><br />I was surprised when I switched on this morning as I only sent these pictures at lunchtime yesterday. SANDRA you can really move with speed with a computer lol.<br /><br />The first card -Lilac in colour- I used Sue Wilson's Heart Lattice EF. The Cream Lattice is also a SW although I cannot remember it's name as I bought it in the days before I had to keep their names. The resin fairy is an Anita Blake )? (I'm sorry Sandra I cannot for the life of me remember Anita's surname . The flourishes are creative expressions Rose something or other and the flowers are from Wild Orchids.<br /><br />The Zig Zag card is made from 300gms card, the backing paper is Floral Muse and the Die Cut is a Christmas Present one of my K&N Friends bought for me - I think it could either be 'Tattered Lace). I'll have a look at putting one or two tiny flowers.<br /><br />I'll have a go at doing a Tutorial but please remember I've never done one before so it will be an experience for me.<br /><br />I hope everything is running smoothly in the Café this morning. I'll try and pop in later to see what's happening. I have to go now as J has just got back with bread for breakfast and he's pouring coffee as I'm just finishing this. HUGS to you all.<br /><br />Please stay SAFE wherever you are. xxxx<br />janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769057785697422382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-73938028779171291562017-01-13T07:23:21.025+00:002017-01-13T07:23:21.025+00:00Hi Sandra and ladies.
