As usual, it's been a lot longer than I intended since I last blogged!! It has been a stressful time though as I lost my mum on the 22nd June. It was expected, but still hard to come to terms with. We were up there at the time, and luckily made it for the last time that she 'awake' and knew that we were there. The following week we were back again for the funeral, which really did go as well as it could have. I find comfort in the thought that she is now with my dad.
Since then, I have finished some Christmas cross stitching that has been on the go for ages - I have done other things in the mean-time!! These are 6 little padded squares ready to hang up!

I've also done my cards for this month's 25th club on Bubbly Funk. The theme for these was 'angels'. I haven't any angel bits, but managed to find a couple of images to colour in!!

I've also got well ahead of myself and have done the pages for August and September for the 365 calendar challenge, again on bubbly Funk. Sorry that I haven't turned them round!!!!

Hope to see you again soon! Thanks for looking!! Bye for now.

Hello again. Today I've finished my 25th club cards for over on Bubbly Funk. So far, I'm up to date!! The theme this month was Christmas 'greenery' so I've gone with the pine cones and holly! I'm sorry that they are a bit 'samey' but the decoupage panels were there waiting to be done, so I did them!!!! Hope to be back soon! Bye.

Having had to redo half of my pages of the 365 calendar challenge, I'm relieved to say that they are all done and I'm now up to date, including pages ready for June! I think I must be in line for the Miss Swotty Knickers award????? Now to go and do a few more things on my list!! Bye for now!

I'm a little bit late this month for Bubbly Funk's 25th Club, but only one day which isn't bad!! I haven't seen anybody else's effort, so I still may be first!! The theme for this month was set by Gez and was to use red and green, and if possible use hand made paper or inchies. I had some serendipidy squares that I did ages ago, in the right colours, so I chopped it up into inchies and background paper!!! Hope you like!!

Well, I can't believe that it's been a week now since we were at the Bubbly Funk retreat. This was our second one, and just like the first we had the most brilliant time!! Lots of food and drink, SOME crafting, not too much sleep, but loads and loads of laughs!!! While there, I was overwhelmed by the work that Kaz does and after a bit of thought I decided to have a go at the following, so this is for you Kaz!! xx Unfortunately I didn't have the courage to really go for it, so it was done on a scrap of paper in pencil!!!! I am quite pleased with it, so will have to have another go now!! Hope you like it!

This has got to be a record - twice in one day!!! Having finished the cover for the 2010 365 calendar challenge, I thought I might as well come back and blog it!!! So here it is!

Today I finished my second card (of 2!!!) for the Bubbly Funk 25th club challenge, so decided to blog them now, rather than forget all about them!!! The theme this time was a sketch!

I've been having a go at wire crochet after crazydaisy (from BF) sent me the pattern! I found it very difficult to work with and almost impossible to get even stitches!! It looks quite effective from a distance I think, but doesn't stand up to too close an inspection!!

I then tried it using thread, which was a lot easier but it turned out very small!!! My next attempt will be with thicker thread!

Now I'm off to do a bit more sorting for the UKS cyber crop which is approaching rapidly. The mystery kit arrived today, so I must get my head round that now!! Bye for now.
