very quick update

this is a super quick update because no photos have been put on for ages i thought i'd quickly add some. i've been growing things, and cooking quite a bit recently, but not taking pictures. but here's some things i've been working on. some lovely cards to start off. amazing what a difference a gold pen can make :)

i have been doing a few mini cross stitch experiments, with good results ! not sure what i'll do with these yet, perhaps put them on book covers, or bookmarks for christmas gifts maybe. I'm going to keep the tractor for myself tho- i love it!
this is my threadcatcher - my solution to the threads that were collecting on the end of the sofa ! bit different from the normal straight ones, just made from card attacked with a hole punch, and you get a lovely colour wheel into the bargain. hurrah!

good things

i've been out loads this weekend, i'm so not used to it! not had nearly enough sleep so really should be in bed already. all good fun tho :)

i'm happy because i have a new digital camera on order that should come any day soon!
i'm less happy that i ran out of yarn for my blanket and the wool shop did not open today.

i did sit in the pub this afternoon drinking cider and crocheting *giggle*
i did not fill in the passport application again...

i'm thrilled by the yellow daffodils which have in fact partially opened now.

i think i'm going to get involved in this scheme do make homemade cards for marie curie cancer care shops to sell in 2008... http://www.create-a-card-for-cancer-care.org/

i really need to go to bed...

night night x

ooh the loveliness!

Well despite being overloaded with work of the web dev variety, i seem to be spending an awful lot of time distracted by craftiness now that i've been drawn in to the online crafty world too...

today i went to the stationers (always a joy) and - having about 6 friends/family with birthdays soon - went to inspect the card making section. ooh the lovely things i bought! rustic style flower card toppers and loads of sticky ribbon, morre toppers, magazines, sticky pads, and *finally* a metal rule for cutting. well i just *had* to come home and make a whole load of cards didn't i?


Have also discovered the fun of daily art cards and have joined a group on flickr. See (and even join in) the fun here:

of course all this and working (and blogging it!) means staying up far too late for kittens, so i'm off to curl up in my basket for the night.
