Fan card and Poppy Field

 Hi,
Another wet day and its windy,  yet across the pond they are having a heatwave,  can you please send a little heat over in exchange for some rain,  please,  pretty please.


Today I am showing you my fan card I was commissioned to make,  I have used the Glitter Girls fan board to make the card shape,   the card I used  is pink,  I cut out three panels and placed real lace behind them,  and then outlined the them with gold peel off's.   I made some parchment feathers large and small ones,  placed them on the card in a fan shape and put a pink bow with white rose on top of them,  finishing off with a matching pink bow at the top and gold happy birthday.

Yesterday I showed you the corn field picture of Poppies,  the corn field is just outside the village where I live,  I told you that Vernon stood on the rim of the car door to take the picture but it would not transfer from the mobile phone.  Well I tried again today and it flew onto the computer,  so here it is looking over the field.   From a distance the field looks red,  I have never seen such a beautiful sight of a corn field full of poppies since I was a child.   I hope you enjoy the picture,  I just wish I could get a picture from the air to show you how red it is.  unfortunately the sun was not shining at the time the picture was taken,  so I hope you can  enjoy the poppies.
I hope you had a nice weekend and until we meet again take care
               Hugs

Crosses 8/25 motif challenge and Poppy field

 Hi,


The weather forecast said today would be the best day,   ha ha,  its rained and been showers and black clouds all day,  so much for sunshine and a better day.  Who makes up these weather forecasts,   more rain tomorrow and Tuesday,  not looking any further.
Today this post seems to have put itself together,  these two coloured crosses are  from the book Pattern Collection by Mary Konior.  I have put Lizbeth Purple Splendor in the middle in the top one and the Flora Green in the middle of the other one with Lizbeth white on the outside,  all threads were no 20.
I do like this pattern and its easy to do.  I feel this pattern lends itself to two colours.

Yesterday was Armed Forces Day and I managed to get a photo of the corn field just outside the village where we live,   its full of red poppies,  from a distance its red,  this is a closer picture which I took on my mobile,  I had another one but the blue tooth wont let me transfer it onto the computer,  when I can I will show,  Vernon took the picture standing on the door rim over the field.   Its a long time since I saw a field of corn with poppies in and I had to share with you,


As I say this post seems to have put its self together,   the crosses are no 8 of the 25 Motif challenge.
Until we meet again take care, keep dry, and for my American reads I hope you stay safe in the heat,  could you send a bit over to us in exchange for some rain.
                         Hugs
