Mini Scrapbook...Golden Wedding Anniversary, Wedding etc..

Front of mini scrapbook, sweet romantic picture edged with ribbon and an ivory tag with simple greeting making it suitable for golden wedding, anniversary, wedding, engagement...

Ten inner card pages which I have edged with gold ink, so 22 sides ready to fill with photos and memories.

Back cover, all tied together with gorgeous gold and organza ribbons.

Close up of picture on front.

I think this would be a wonderful message book for lots of family and friends to add their own personal message to the happy couple!

Back to School.....

......and back to 'normality'!!

Got up nice and early so as soon as girls left to catch the school bus I took Tilly down the lane for a walk in the lovely bright sunshine, was still very blustery though, blew a few cobwebs away! Why does she insist on barking at EVERY car that passes by, she goes loopy, drives me mad!

So today catch up on email/blog/etsy/folksy etc whilst watching a garden makeover programme. Tackle the ironing, take a few bits n pieces round to local hospice charity shop, maybe pick up some fabric or beads. Post mail to Mark, my brother in law, who is spending a year in Melbourne.

Later will try and post some photos of cards made over the weekend.

Try not to think about going to work tomorrow...........

Here he is ....

Still no callback from freezer suppliers

Freezer was delivered 9th Feb with essential tool missing, rang them, was told would be one week and would call us, 11 days later no call still waiting........can I scream?!?
Then to top it all I was looking in the 'housey' box for car tax details and found a warranty for the PC which broke (spent £330 on laptop) then found extended warranty for freezer (spent £310 on new one) ............. we never take extended warranties out!?!
Makes me cry to think I could have spent all that money on a desperately needed sewing machine and loads of lovely fabric. Must organize warranties better!!
Just finishing off my first sock monkey, will post photos soon.

Mermaid on Etsy

Now for sale on Etsy......

Got a lovely book on embroidery, and have adapted some designs and made a couple of things from it.......first was one for the boys, a pirate photo in blog below, getting away from pink and cute!

Then back to cute, a pretty mermaid:

Etsy

Nearly forgot, don't know how! I sold more items on Etsy including an alchemy request for an anniversary card. I was so thrilled to be asked to make a card on Etsy. Can't post pics due to blog below, PC died, take a look at my sold items on Etsy!

and two weeks later......

this is what I have been up to...


Easter Chick

Christening Card made to order

Felt Embellished Heart

Easter Bunny

One for the boys....a pirate

Apologies to myself for not blogging over the last two weeks, lots has been happening not least the weather!

I am so fed up of things not working......first the car battery on the day the snow came down thick and settled, my Dad drove me few miles to get another, we got back tried to fit it and found they had given us the wrong size so we had to go out again to a different shop as they didn't have the correct one. Just got that one fixed in and school rang to say they were closing and could I collect my daughters.

Next the integrated freezer packed in , ordered one online, delivered as promised a week later but with an essential part missing so now waiting possibly another week for that to come.

Last (hopefully) the PC packed in and we have lost all photo's etc since October, on the bright side at least now working but restored to factory settings, but it is so fast now!.......oh and I got a new lap top just for me only me, cos I couldn't do without my daily fix of blogs, Flickr and Etsy!!!
