The Taj Mahal Key

Hi,

When I injured my hand I was getting bored,  very unusual for me anyway Carollyn was running out of time to design a key for her up and coming tat lessons she is giving on her tatting retreat.  So I kindly said I would try and design a key for her. 

Well after a few re-thinks I dreamt up this design,   honestly I did dream it up in the middle of night,  of course the next morning having no paper in my dream I had to remember the picture in my head.
As my hand got better I started doing a little tatting each day and finally the pattern became real.

After many emails between us here is the Taj Mahal key,   I know Carollyn loves it and I hope it goes down well when she does her tatting a key lessons.   unfortunately I wont be with her bit I will be there in spirit.

CD Sunday Challenge # 11 Anything goes using something from a CD

Hi,
This fortnight CD sunday has a new challenge again we are Anything goes #11 using something form a CD  this fortnight Wynn is hosting this challenge.
For my card this time I have some local inspiration from Jack and Jill the nursery rhyme.   The home of Jack and Jill is a local village to me called Kilmersdon,  a small village in Somerset,  which I often drive through to the hairdressers.
I used a googled image of Jack and Jill for the card,  the backing paper came from a CD called click, print and go by My Craft Studio.   The wording I did on computer and the flowers are from strash.  I finished off the card with a ribbon bow.

A walk in Bluebell wood

Hi,
Last weekend we went away to Vernons sisters in Oxfordshire,  while we were there we had a walk in this beautiful wood full of bluebells, near Faringdon,  I took these pictures,  the ground was just pure blue with them

I had a question from Jane on my last post re the Lilly of the Valley,  Yes Jane they do have a perfume.  I wish I could put the smell on here,  or send you the smell.

If you have missed my commenting on your blog,  blogger is not playing ball with my ipad,  I am trying to catch up with those I have missed.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Margaret
