Sleeping Cats

This photo was taken this morning Pollyanna (black cat) and Sammy (tabby) had a fight awhile ago I'm sure they were fighting over the space. Well Sammy gave up slept on my lap then jumped up and climbed onto the bed (it my folding box/trolley for carting my craft stuff around in) this is the result.

Groundwork

I have spent most of the weekend doing groundwork. ???? What is that you ask?

Well I have shifter the tools shed and the greenhouse so when or if my new summerhouse turns up I will have prepared the ground for it.

I treated the fence and weeded the ground next job is to get and lay paving slabs.

Watch this space picture to follow. This is what I'm trying to achieve.

No this isn't mine but it will be something slightly similar.

Chloe's 14th Birthday Card

After taping the pattern curtesy of Judith Maslen to my homemade light box i traced the bear in black 0.2 ultra fine black pen. Then i turned the pattern over and used a mauve watercolour pencil for the dress and hat. Light brown for the fur dark brown for the eyes black for the nose. i turned it back over using a light blue gel pen filled in the flower petal trying to make them as forget-me-nots, for the flower centers i used a glitter mauve pens and for the hat band and green for the leaves Then just to round it off i added bling for earings. I cut the bear out and then.......yes i did alter it.after looking at it i wasn't happy with the results. So what did I do but took the stickers off had a brainstorm and decided it looked more like a shopping bag so i added 2 luggage labels 1 had shop on it the other Sale of course. put a "hapy Birthday " on it added a butterfly and a bow and some handles. hope you like it and i hope Chloe will also. thank you for reading this blog please feel free to follow if you want too.

 

 

 

Homemade Box

This is curtesy of Christina Griffiths and just a trial run. As I never had any card for the 

base I used wrapping paper hoping it was thickish but sadly it is very thin, a lot less than

 80gsm I made the lid using some spare card and my new hot glue gun. I had made the

Flowers and butterflies with my brand new powder blue and teal big shot. Oh yes and a

 little bit of bling was added. I know it's not perfect but it was a trial and I must say I am 

Impressed. Never thought I had it in me.
