Well back again, but only for a short while I have family staying for the week (again!).  

I have been working away on various things since my last blog.  The grandchildren had me making soft toys when they stayed for the two weeks.  Some old toy making books were dragged out of the cupboard and I think they would have had me making everything in them if I had had time.  I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed making things and want to do more.  

Looking at on line stores selling fabric makes me want to start sewing again the fabrics are wonderful , may start with some fat quarters and try patchwork again. Having the sewing machine out has also encouraged me to use more sewing in my card making.  Must try using fabric on the cards too!

Pleated paper with rows of sewing give a little interest to this cute card

The wedding stationery I have been working on has now been finished, and I was asked to do a Table Plan.  The plan is nearly finished but disaster struck with the printer again last week, it is back on Tuesday lets hope it has been put right this time.



It's competition time again with all the craft mags running cardmaker of the year etc.  trying to get some cards made to enter (won a category last year) but it is going slowly and time is short, maybe it will have to wait until next year.

The family have found me hiding in my craft room, hope to be back soon with some ideas for sewing, fabric and cards.
