Happy Valentines Day

 Hi,

Happy Valentine’s Day,   This is my heart today,  I used pink ice Lizbeth thread and the pattern is from the wayback machine, called Frivolite Heart by Gale Marshall.

This heart is going to be used in a project that I am making at the moment,  I needed something small to fill in a corner,  I cannot say any more but when it’s finish I will show you.  It’s going slowly due to being back in hospital again this week.

Enjoy your day

Knitted Elephant

 Hi,

I hope you like my knitted elephant,  she is a replacement for one I sold before Christmas,  I knitted her in double knitting wool, and stuffed with toy stuffing with embroidered eyes.    The pattern is a very old one and I can’t remember where it came from but I am sure it was in a magazine which is not published any more.  

Her dress is cream and a cream mixed peach wool in stripes,   I made a white puff collar, instead of a shawl and gave her a tatted white flower on her head. 

She can be found in my esty shop.

January cards

 Hi,

Yes today is the 1st February but the title says January cards,  so far this year I have made two cards,  and as I you know I am late posting anything.  

The first card as above is from Debbi Moore’s Gnomes side scene  dimensional kit,  I have made a few from this kit and here is another one,  I do love this kit and gnomes are so in at the moment,  I made this one as a birthday card,

No 2 

This card I entered in a competition on Facebook,  DM delights cardmaking group,  it’s a group that uses Debbi Moore’s images etc only.   This card is from a kit called Birds of a Feather,  it’s a fairly new kit and it’s the first card I have made from it,  the competition was called Spring,  and I made this card as a new home card,  I do like the spring flower images with the bird house.   

I have no doubt you will see a lot more cards made with these kits in the future,

Please if you are doing a rain dance could you stop here in Somerset we have enough water and flooding,  we really do not need anymore rain,  can you do a sun shine dance instead,
