Suzy Bee DT - White on White

Hi all!

Well, Oban was an experience.  If it had been dry and warm it would have been lovely but we had wind, rain, hail, sleet, snow, thunder and lightening ... all in one day!  Thankfully we had taken our waterproof coats and hats with us so all in all it was OK.  There were plenty of cafes to duck in and out of!

Here are two views from our hotel window -

Sleety snow!

Across the bay when there was a break in the weather!

On now to what I should have been doing before I left ... making this card for Suzy Bee!  I thought it was done as I'm a bit ahead of the challenges but for some reason this one got missed.  Anyway here it is now.

Suzy Bee DT - Buttons & Bows

Hi one and all!

I forgot to schedule this last night as I was out with family and our granddaughter's friends for a meal as it was her 16th birthday.  Where have these years gone?  Anyway, we all had a lovely time and she was throughly spoilt as always.  I'm actually sitting here with a cuppa by my side along with a piece of birthday cake (no calories in it, ha ha).

It's time for another Suzy Bee challenge so here is my offering.  Off now to have a play.  Mr C is away to work, it's hissing down outside and all the housework is done so I think I deserve it.

New Home

Morning one and all!

Well, what disappointing weather we had yesterday after the lovely day we had on Monday.  No long walk for me and my four-legged friend as every time I looked out the window it was raining ... grrrrrr!

On to my share for today and it's winging its way to Spain.  Friends of ours have moved into sheltered accommodation in Benidorm so this card is for them.  I was inspired to make it by my blogging bud Jen of The Tiny Blue Butterfly but I think hers is much better.

Better go and have brekkie now then showered and ready as three of us (all been friends for 45years) are meeting up as we're having a birthday celebration for one of the group.

New Stuff

Morning!

I'm not saying 'good morning' cos it's not, its just a grey, wet and chilly day again.  Ooooh we are all getting so fed up of this aren't we.  One of these days we'll hopefully get some pleasant weather.  I read the headlines in one of the papers that we are to have a spring heatwave ... bring it on!

This is another card I made on Sunday with new stuff that fell through the letterbox!  You'd think the number of times the postie visits our house the dog would be used to him by now but no, she goes mental when he's at 'her' door but if she's out walking in the street and he's passing she doesn't bother two hoots.  She's a crazy one!   Anyway, the digi and the trellis die are both new and I think they work well together ... you may well see more of these designs. 

Mr C and I had a lovely lunch yesterday.  He had curried carrot soup and chicken pie and I had chicken pie and apple tart ... yum, yum, yum!  Today Mr C is off to the dentist and I'm pottering at home.  We've someone coming to see us at lunchtime as the bathroom is going to be getting a makeover.  We are getting rid of the bath as when my back is playing up I find it very difficult to get into it to have a shower as it's an over the bath one at the moment.  Only problem is that we'll need to start from scratch as the whole bathroom is tiled at the moment and they'll all need to come off so that means new walls and floor.

Still sitting in my pjs so I'd better get a wriggle on and get organised or the chap will be knocking at the door and I'll be embarrassed!

Have a good day.

Christmas on Sunday

Hi!

Me again.  I've only one card for my self imposed Christmas makes on a Sunday.  I've got a few kits that I'm using to make other cards so I've only time to fit in a few challenges this week.

Mr C is outside cutting the grass which he hopes will be the last time this year.  Our GSD is looking out of the window wishing she was there with him but dogs and electric lawnmowers are not a very good mix.  Here is a picture of her in her morning pose waiting for the poor postie.  She goes absolutely loopy when he pops things through the letter box but will happily walk past him in the street!

Anyway, off now to get some more kit cards made up.  It's so easy not having to enlist the help of Mr Mojo, especially when he's sloped off and not told me where!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Hugs

Happy Birthday

Hello!

What a windy morning but the sun is shining and it's dry.  I'm off to meet my friend this afternoon for coffee and a rummage round the bead shop.  I've been making the Kumihimo bracelets for the school fayre but made some other ones yesterday and need more supplies as I got the thumbs up from my granddaughter and her friend.  

  

While watching Scott & Bailey last night I knitted up another bag but I've not done the finishing off yet so will let you see it when I'm done. Yesterday I posted off the 10 little cardis and 2 blankets I knitted for the mum to be of twins.  The, can't contain herself grandma to be (my friend from Spain), arrived to be with her daughter yesterday.  The twins will be arriving on Sunday and as we don't know if it's boys, girls or one of each everyone is waiting with baited breath. I'll keep you posted!

Right, onto the reason I came here, my card for today!

Take care if you're out in the wind and I'll see you soon.  I don't know if I'll make it onto the blog tomorrow as I'm taking my aunt to Dalkeith.  The craft place I get my card etc is there and I'm in dire need of supplies.  As always there's a lovely restaurant nearby so that's our plans for Friday.

Hugs

Sweet Mermaid

Hello!

Well, the start of another week and Mr C and I are on the countdown to our holiday.  We are off on 7 March for three weeks and can't wait to get some sunshine (hopefully!).

I woke early this morning so decided to get up rather than lie in bed playing games on my phone!!!  I've still some ironing to catch up on so I'm off to do that before meeting an old school friend for lunch .  We have a catch up every couple of months and today's the day.  It's a beautiful morning,  very frosty but the sun is up and will have defrosted my car by the time I go out!

This is the last of the cards I made on Saturday night.  I love A Day for Daisies images but haven't used them enough.  This one has been paper pieced and I think she's cute.

Have a good day!

Hugs
