CD Sunday Challenge - anything goes #145

Hi,

Time for another challenge at CD Sunday  and this fortnight it is Pamela who will be the host

For my card this fortnight I have used an old CD popcorn bear disc 2 by My craft studio, I used the backing sheet and matching image,  I used a  stepper  shape card from KatySue.  I used the bear images and put them down the sides so they are poking out from the card,  it maybe hard to see in the photo. I added a hand made blue bow at the top and used a flower edging die down the side from Printable Heaven,   It is an old die I have not used for some time,  it was nice to use some old items in the craft room for a change.

2024 TTAL - temperature tatting along part 13

 Hi,

It’s a beautiful day now here in Somerset,   I know I have not posted very much over recent weeks,  and I would like to thank Janette for her lovely comment on my last post.  Yes we are both ok,  well ok’ish to be more correct.

As you know Vernon had an accident in June,  it’s been a long time but we have now found out the damage to his shoulder in the last couple of weeks,  he’s now going or will be having physio on the shoulder,  no idea when that will start,  if it takes as long as it was to find out what he did when he fell,  he might start physio next year.

As his shoulder gets better he has finally had some skin cancer cut out,  it’s taken 11 months since he saw them in clinic to finally get treatment,  now I am a nurse looking after and dressing the stitches every few days.  Hopefully this won’t bring the stress illness back,  

September brought on some sort of illness,  and we now realise that it was stress related,  I was totally worn out,  looking after someone full time,  is no laughing matter when you are disabled and have fibromyalgia,  we went away for a week at the end of September,  total rest,  it was doing us good until I got a nasty cold,  that affected my eyes,  it was a really nasty head cold,  although I still have a cough,  yes I am on the mend.  

This week I am full on as I have two craft fairs two weekends following each other,  I had some plans for some new things most of which did not happen,  

The picture above is my temperature tat along,  I finished September yesterday,  only three more months,  it now measures 18 by 17 inches,  there’s some ends to sew in and a few beads to sew in for land mark items during the year,  we never did get a really hot day,  so the red colour was never used.   The temperatures are slowly going down as reflected in the colours.  Although it’s quite mild for the time of year.

Well there’s an update in what’s been happening over the last few months.  I have a few bits to post and I will post over the next few weeks.

Hope you are keeping well,

Margaret

CD Sunday challenge - Anything goes # 143

 Hi,

Here we are at the end of September,  I have scheduled this post as I am away for the week.  As usual it’s anything goes and the host this fortnight is Jocelyn.

For  my card this fortnight I used a free download from craftsuprint,  I enjoyed this card,  but the top with the roses is very fiddly so I cut around and used a grey promarker to save some of the more fiddly bits and give a more stubble top,  I also decoupaged the roses in the middle.  I added a red ribbon bow

2024 TTAL - Temperature tat along part 12

 Hi,

Here is update on the temperature tat along on Facebook,   I have now finished August,  and I am 10 days behind.  I have had a couple of days which I have been too tried to tat,  but hopefully I can catch up this month,  

The weather has not been very hot in august and we have been below normal temperatures or just on the average temperature,  I was really hoping to get a few red  thread days this summer,  but dark pink and only a few days of those all summer.   My sister  in law suggested doing it again next year to compare temperatures,  not sure it’s been a bit of a labour of love.  I am looking forward to December now and finishing it.

Today is 9/11 and a day that begins back memories of the planes crashing into the twin towers and the pentagon,  my pen friend was in the pentagon when the plane crashed into it,  she escape but I remember my thoughts watching that plane go in the build.   She told me that they were in her bosses office watching New York and someone saying behind her that they would never hit the pentagon,  then bang and someone running though shouting get out.  She ran out with everyone else as fast as she could.

Hope you are having a good week

Margaret.

CD Sunday challenge- anything goes #141

 

Hi,

Today is the first day of September,  and I am hoping the weather just might be a bit better,  it’s certainly been windy towards the end of august,  while I am writing this post,  it’s blowing well.   It’s time for another challenge at CD Sunday and the host this fortnight is Jo

For my card I used an image  and backing paper from party Penguins 2 CD by Debbi Moore,   I thought this was a little different colouring to the usual Christmas cards, and I felt it worked well.  I decoupaged the image  and  I also used a snowflake die frame  by Chloe,  which I cut in half and used in two corners and scattered a few snowflake around the card,
