Take pleasure in the small things.

I've made more thank you cards this week. 30 of them to be exact, in 3 designs.

These ones are with galaxy Paper, stars thinlits die and a silver metallic backing. The stars really pop and fit perfectly with the galaxy paper. It's a die I bought ages ago and never used.

These ones are oxide ink backgrounds with flower silhouettes. This was inspired by Pinterest. I finished off by adding dome glitter dots.

These are my favourite so far. Heartbeat die in Tim holtz paper with blue background to represent the nhs. Also heartbeat die in metallic Paper, and paper dolls.

I've also been working on the stitch. I'm on the blended colours now which I hate!

And here are some random April photos. Mainly flowers again. They make me happy.

This is Sox, who apparently decided he's now a plate.

This is the car park next to a health centre in town. I'm guessing it's for covid testing.

Until next time

Stay home and stay safe

Milestone birthday

Not mine, but an uncle, who turned 60 this week. I made a card using some tim holtz dies. I quite like the colours I used for the skull, gives him an aged quality. I've also been working on the stitch. Here's the latest update Still looks a bit of a mess at the bottom with no discernible images, but it'd getting closer to what it should be with every stitch. Until next time Ems

What to do when you hit a wall?

Sorry guys, this is gonna be another pic-lite one. This is for two reasons. The first is because I decided to be a complete idiot the other day and crack my head open on the door at work, so I have to take things easy for a couple of days. The second is strange. I woke up the other day and it was as if someone had flipped a switch. All of the self-confidence that I had built up through my crafting over the last year has disappeared - just like that. I've spent the large majority of my life thinking that I am not good enough; in what I do, what I say, in short, in who I am. With crafts I was finally starting to believe in myself. So it is very hard at the moment, as I feel that I am right back at square one. I am hoping that this is temporary, and that I will soon feel myself again. I have to remind myself that I am very early in my crafting journey, and there are bound to be bumps along the way. I am aware that it is probably linked to my current state of high anxiety, as susta...

Drawering a crowd

So, this week I've done something a little different. This is before... This is after.... Obviously there's two of them! These are my mums bedside drawers, which are over 30 years old and now have a new lease of life. I've also been working on the stitch. 31% down now. Until next time Ems
