The online virtual event for World Card Making Day (Oct 7th) was great! My attempt at the first card they made was rubbish. I managed to get ink on my hands which then spread everywhere, I stuck all the elements down on the wonk, and I wasn’t paying attention sticking the banner down so it […]

I appear to have been awol for over 5 months! I was busy with my B&B, nagging my builder to get everything finished, and to replace the toilet window that got broken on day 1 or 2 of the work back in February. He finally came to fix it on September 1st!! My desk shows […]

Oh, my. I was supposed to be remembering to keep up with blogging and restarting doing craft videos. Well, I finally restarted doing videos in August. I did 2 per week. Even then I never thought about blogging about them! Then life got in the way and I was involved in helping plan/decorate the church […]

S’mae, pawb, long time no see! I have been neglecting my website recently, but I shall try to keep more up-to-date from now on. I’ve also started making videos for YouTube again – after a nearly 5 year hiatus. I’d decided before Christmas 2022 that I’d start doing them again in January and that I’d […]

S’mae, pawb! Today I’m hunkered away in my craft room. The builders are in the loft strengthening the joists and clearing any remaining rubble, so I’m just keeping out of their way. I would normally have been at Tea & Toast this morning but, for various reasons, we’ve had to cancel it today. So, I’ve […]

Oh, my, what a week, and then the clocks changed! I’m normally really good at remembering about the clocks changing and usually send an email to everyone at church to remind them; not this time! I had my Easter Crafternoon on Saturday, which went well, but we ended up moving the tables ourselves and setting […]

Another busy week last week. I often have a meeting of some sort after our drop-in cafe/food bank on a Wednesday, so by the time I get home I’m exhausted. I try to start my blog before the Wednesday so I can just publish it when I get home, but I didn’t even do that […]

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus! Happy St David’s Day! So, here are the finished cards using my Let’s Set Sail stamps: I stamped 3 in Real Red and 3 in Starry Sky, and then punched them out using the Sailboat Builder punch. I used a template so I could stamp them out so they’d fit […]

I was quite busy last week so missed my chance. You’ll get a double dose this week! This is my desk this week; not very exciting. on the right are the cards I’ve started to prepare using the SU Gentle Waves background stamp and the new Let’s Set Sail bundle. On the left are a […]

I managed to make a few birthday cards this week for folk at church. January to April seems to be the quietest time for birthdays, with only 10. May to August are the busiest months for birthdays: 24 altogether, with 9 of them in August and only 1 in June! These are the ones I’ve […]
