CD Sunday Challenge- anything goes #172

U;

 Hi,

Time for another challenge at CD Sunday,  as I write this the lovely autumn weather has all but gone,  the trees are almost bear of the autumn colour leaves and it’s starting to get colder,  winter looks like it is almost here.  I am the host for this fortnight,  

For my  card,  I used Art Deco Enchantment CD by Debbi Moore,  for the image and backing papers,  I decoupaged the image matted it onto gold card by Hunkydory,  I added a spray of Chateau red roses by Debbi Moore from the match it range and a red feather and red ribbon  from stash.

Happy birthday Vernon

Hi,

Today is my husband’s  birthday,  he’s got a busy day ahead of him as we are going to meet his sister half way in Devizes  for a meal,  tomorrow is his other cataract op.  

 Tomorrow he has his cataract operation on his other eye,  at least it will be all over by Christmas,  four weeks of timed drops,  no hoovering, bending, lifting, carrying,  or driving,  please can we have good weather and no snow I am not a snow driver,  I will be worn out by the end of four weeks looking after him. 

 I used Debbi Moore’s  gnomes side scene dimensional kit,  I love this kit it has something for everything, and I hope he likes his card.

CD Sunday challenge - anything goes #171

 Hi,

Time for another challenge at CD Sunday challenge blog,  the host this fortnight is Jo.

My card this fortnight is a free download from Craftsuprint.  I used the kit to make this card,  decoupling the wellie boots into three layers,  and adding a green check handmade bow down the side.  This card maybe used as a birthday card,  at the moment I am undecided.  It’s a lovely image for a male who is interested in gardening.

Crochet key ring hangers

 Hi,

This weekend has been sunshine and heavy showers,  yes we need the rain,  and it’s mild for the beginning of November ,  so  I suppose we must not moan.   

Today I thought you might like to see some crochet I have been doing,  the original pattern is from asli-ime  on instagram,   She does an advanced stitch for me,  which I am still practicing,  I might get the hang of it one day,   in the meantime,   I liked the idea so I have done the stitches I know in making these.  Here is a close up

 I used three beads and then crochet around them, before making two rounds,  made a chain for the hanging loop and place a head at the base of the chain.

These are more of a flower with six beads in the middle,  again I am still practicing the stitch she used,  so I made the flowers from stitches I know,  another chain for the hanging loop and the head put at the bottom of the chain. Here is a close up 

I have enjoyed making these,  we were supposed to be at craft fair today but we cancelled at the time Vernon had just had his cataract op and I am exhausted,  I have a couple of weeks before he now has the other eye done,  so I am catching up and having a quick rest before he is unable to do anything.  Who would have thought that there would be so much to an eye cataract operation,  he won’t be able to lift, bend, drive, carry, even the kettle is too heavy or hoover.   The timed drops meant I was clock watching all day,  for four weeks,  at least it will be all over by Christmas.

They say key ring hangers but really you could hang them anywhere 

If you want to see more of her wonderful crochet asli-ime, she is on YouTube channel knitting my hobby.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend

Margaret
