Happy Christmas to all my lovely friends and family.

We hope that, at sooner rather than later, 2021 will be getting

back to normal, as we know it.

This was one of my projects for the Craft Fairs I never did.

I  will spend my spare time playing with my Needle Felting.

I already have 2 orders. One for a Hare and one for a fox!!

I really need a bit more practice first.

So please take care, stay safe and stay at home if you can.

Big hugs.

Two Of A Kind!

Thank you for your lovely comments on my last post..

Also, I have picked a name for my Hare!!

I couldn't decide, so I put all the names in a pot

and pulled one out , which is

Hartley.

His name was from Pauline at Cotnob Cards.

He does look more boyish I think. So thank you Pauline.

Two of my favourite cards I made this year.

.A little bit fiddly but worth it!!

They have been sent out to friends or family..

 The Flowers I made with Hobbycraft Glitter Card.

Thankfully no loose glitter.

Well not long to go now to the big day.

 A quiet one for us and we haven't really 

got presents under the tree. either.

I have already had mine last wee.k!!

So I bought Hubby a little something. well for both of us!!

A bit lost at the moment, as to what to do next!!

I have a problem, as I find it difficult to sit on my hands!!

A strange era we are living in.

Must look forward to next year getting back to normal.

Just hope the idiots who think it's just a bout of flu,

think again and stay home.. 

Wishful thinking I know!!.  I spoke to one last week!!

I can't put on here, what I really thought of this person.

but did tell them what I thought of them!!!

Made me feel a bit better but just went straight

over their head.!! As they didn't have a brain, there

was nothing to stop it!!

Right off to find something to do!!

Stay safe and well,

Big hugs,

A New Craft For Me!!!

I have wanted to have a go at Needle Felting for a while.

I started with a mouse and husband said it looked more

like a rat!!! 

So I left it for a few days and decided to try making a Hare. 

I have a clay one, that was a gift from a friend. 

So I used it as an idea.

This was the final result, after a few finishing touches,

along with a few stabbings of a finger!!

It's far from perfect but better than I hoped,

for a first attempt.

I now need a name, male or female for it.

So if you pop in, could you leave a name in your comment!!

I am not completely happy with the ears but 

I can see what I need to do next time.

I think this is going to be a new, addictive craft for me!!!

At least it's a 'tidy desk' craft and a clean one too, which is

great for me. I can be a bit messy if I am on a roll!!!

Thank you for finding the time to leave a message on my last post.

I love to read them and they are treasured, especially

in the climate we are going through at the moment.

We think my sister's Alzheimer's is more advanced than we perhaps thought.

It's harder for my Sister, who lives close to the 'Home'.

She has been her rock and her carer for some time.

I just wish I could be there. Not that we could get in the home.

Thanks for popping in and would love your feedback on my Hare.

Don't forget to add a name. Can't wait for them!!

Stay safe.

Big Hugs.

Favourite Christmas Quickies!!

I love blue and white cards for Christmas.

The card background is actually white!!

Why do camera's change colours?!!!

Spot the difference!!! 

I love making pretty, yet simple cards.

 

The Deer are from a die set I bought last Christmas.

I think it was on Amazon.

The trees are a very old stamp and I used

Broken China Distress Ink.  

I have posted all my cards and even got my tree and 

decs all done!! It certainly gives me a lift.

I really can't wait for the end of this year.

I have had so many sad happenings within my family

and friends. It's just one thing after another.

Thank you for your lovely messages on my last post

and they are all read and appreciated. 

Big hugs.

A Red & White Christmas.

Thank you for popping into my blog.

Sorry I haven't been around every day but been a bit tied up.

This is a quick post with one of my cards ready to be posted.

I will be doing that tomorrow.

The Poinsettia. is die cut with a set of dies I have had for years,

and I used some red glitter card from Hobbycraft. 

The sentiment was also die cut with the red glitter card,

and dropped shadow onto a piece of white pearl card.

I used a snowflake die to cut the aperture.

The backing paper is just from my stash.

Well it's 1. am and I want an early night for a change.

Hope you are all keeping safe and well and looking

forward to Wednesday here, as we will be able to go out again!!

Thanks for popping in and you know I treasure you comments.

Big hugs,

Carol
