In Memory!

 Hi Folks

Well can you believe it's the last Saturday of November, where has the year gone? So those of us in England, lockdown finishes on the 2nd December, yay... I really need to get the Christmas shopping done. I do like to support my local shops. 

I have some creations to share with you today, a friend of mine lost her mum recently, she was a lovely lady. I used to take her to her medical appointments and as she didn't get out much, I always took the coast road home. She loved it and she used to talk about the past. I'm so pleased that I brought some remembrance into her life! Anyway, I made the following for her daughter, my friend to remember. I gave them to her last night and there were a few tears. So here they are...

I used to my Cricut Maker to make them. The frame is from Ikea, the heart slate and LED candle are from Poundland.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and please stay safe.

Good News!

 Hi friends

I am happy to say that my Covid-19 test turned out negative... yay. However, it would seem I just had a good old common cold! Mind you the cold did knock me for six and so not done much in the last week. I'm feeling much better today and may venture out with a short walk.

Anyway, on to what I have to show you. I've finally made a start on Christmas cards and here is one of them.

A nice simple one using an old die sheet image from Lili of the Valley, which you can find in their Etsy shop here. This is such a sweet image. I just used an unbranded scalloped square die, the papers are so old I haven't a clue where from, ribbon and gems from stash.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and thank you to those that commented on my Christmas plate.

Stay safe and have a good week!

Christmas Bits!

 Hi all

A big thank you to Sarah and Jules for taking the time to comment on my last post, they were lovely to read. The problems I had with blogger have sorted themselves out, which tells me that it was a Blogger problem!

Other news is that today I went and had a Covid-19 test, as a house I go to everyday to walk the dog and do some cleaning, one of the household has tested positive. So as a precaution I am self isolating until the results are in. Good news it does give me time to craft during daylight!

So this week I have made a plate and milk bottle for Santa for my friends granddaughter, I love making these.

I used my Cricut Maker to cut the vinyl, the image I purchased a few years ago, the plate was a cheap one from Wilkinson's and the milk bottle was from a set I purchased from Asda. I added the ribbon and bell to the milk bottle. These are great to use up odd bits of vinyl I had. I also add a letter from Santa to be placed once the great man has been! Apologies for the unprofessional photo.

Have a great week ahead and please stay safe!

Rememberance

 Hi Friends

So here in England we are in to a four week lockdown at the moment so roll on the 2nd December. 

If anyone reading this can help, I would be most grateful. I am having trouble opening and reading some Blog posts, it's stopped all of a sudden. Most I can open and read, but the few that I can't I get a message saying timed out and one say's it's too dangerous to open. I haven't a clue about these things and it's so annoying!

Anyway on to my creation today. My partner is pretty gutted as he can't march past the Cenotaph in London this year. This he has done for as long as I can remember. So I made a remembrance candle for him and his friend, they are both ex RAF. So let us remember those that sacrificed their lives and gave up so much for us to be free. So here it is...

I used a LED candle from Poundland, image I found on Google and the poppy and font I found in Cricut Design Space. I then printed on to Cricut clear sticky paper and then placed on the candle. The candle is very effective as it flickers when on. The partner loved it!

So friends have a good week and please stay safe.
