Apart from my addiction to a computer game with wee animals, my life has revolved around taking care of young Ezra and our daughter who became seriously ill. She had surgery last week so is now on the road to recovery and will return to her home before the new year. We are so very pleased with her progress but this grandma is still doing the 4am wake up. Young Ezra has been wonderful throughout although a bit of a handful. The craft room is untouched and the Christmas cards are still in the box unsent but never mind. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I am sending you all the very best wishes for the jolly season and will be back to enjoy next year with you all. </i></span>Crafty Larkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12953832053527956612noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533192456929620684.post-73353500948982721582014-06-19T15:00:00.000+01:002014-06-19T15:00:06.945+01:00Bowler with gifty snippets<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Hello to all my wonderful crafty pals. Hope you are all well. Thank you so very much for your comments and also your best wishes for my brother. He was chuffed with his card and very touched by all your thoughts. He is now able to write well and his speech is very clear. He does get tired easily which is a good thing, as he has started to offload some of his social responsibilities and off course others have had to step into his shoes at work.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I have had a real crafty lull at present with too much going on here in bedlam. However my hat had to be done, I didn't make the hat itself. I have quite a number of hats and would love to wear them but being small and dumpy, instead of tall and elegant, well that's life isn't it, lol. </i></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At Glastonbury that doesn't matter.</i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had plans to steampunk it big time, but for once reality kicked in and I knew that I would never have time to finish what I planned. So I took snippets left over from gifts that I had received from my crafty pals and also knowing that everything has to be weatherproof some shrink plastic and I hope the end result will give you all a smile.</span></i><br />

Your comments are keeping my little bit of sanity intact. </i></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I wonder what else life can throw at us this year. </i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The latest on our roller coaster happenings is my oldest brother, who is only 62, has had a stroke. The good news is that it was a mild one and physio should have him back to reasonable health. Hopefully he will take this as a warning to ease up on his horrendous work schedule and plane journeys. As always I am sat feeling useless when things happen to family so far away. He lives in Shetland so it's not a case of popping on a bus to see how he is faring.</i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is also raining here most of the time which is posing a real problem with our renovations, I suppose I should feel glad I am not a farmer trying to make a living in this. I do think that the rain has swept away my mojo so this is a very simple get well card, but reflects the fact that I am so very pleased to hear his voice at the end of the phone. </i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On a lighter note Ezra is on page3 having a long conversation with his robot, in between beating him up, lol. Hope you are all well or on the way to a good recovery and having a bit more sunshine than we are. </i><br />

I would miss you all terribly if I did, as I love reading your comments. I hope you are all well and that life is reasonably fair to you. Having achieved a good balance between drinking coffee and wood preserving, life here has been ticking along nicely, although I have been too tired to blog. </i></span><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The BIG tidy is a total mess with my bright decision to use stash as I went along. Everyone knows that this year is total bedlam here so I will be forgiven for these are my Christmas cards. I was tempted to just make sawdust shaker cards. Can I put them in the postbox yet!!!!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I felt the snowman decoupage lacked definition so I took out my pencils and pens and had a play. Added to that what do you do with backing papers that are a bit too much, so they became card fronts instead (I won't show these individually but you will get the gist). I may add a bit of glitter before I send them, so apart from some sheets of backing paper that is another empty box. Here come the snowmen plus 3.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At the top of my blog I have a page "who is playing in my craftroom", someone new - a clip of my grandson Ezra who is 3 months old tomorrow, fantastic concentration.

Blogger keeps coming up saying I am trying to log in from a different location and I need a verification code again. Last time this happened my blog turned into Portuguese, at least today that is still ok. Thank You all for your comments and I am happy with what I shall be doing on those cards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As my title says "it fell off the shelf" so I shall not keep you all in suspenders any longer, it being my Christmas snippets box and my card is heading for the playground. Now I thought I was being clever a year or two ago and bought this cuttlekids penguin die, but boy did I find my brain just wouldn't fix it together properly, so the bits got thrown in the box and here they are today. I think one penguin is missing a white bit. All my Christmas cards this year are going to be bits based, I'm off now to find that snowman decoupage I won years ago, don't remember how or why that came about. </span><br />

Thank you for looking and commenting on the shiny ones, I appreciate your doing so very much. Hopefully I am more careful with what I buy nowadays.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Today's card is to meet the simplest request, simple sympathy cards/thinking of you, that can be sent to the families of the kennel customers when one of their pets have passed away. I have been told that my lily cards will be perfect, peel-offs are fine and the inserts are to be totally plain. I can make whatever I want so long as I keep them simple, so you will all have to keep me in line, lol. </i></span><br />

I hope you are all doing well and are seeing a bit more sunshine than we are having here. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>On the conveyor belt today</i></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, hee hee,</i><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> we have the shiny and the bling. I wonder if anyone else has dufex in their drawers!! My oldest daughter did help with the wee bling and has a charity in mind for these. I would like to say that this latest effort has made a bit of a dent in the stash, maybe it will show up better when I have sorted the inserts, envelopes and bags. You will only get a gist of what the cards are like as they are almost impossible to photograph. </i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All my doggy and simple sympathy cards have gone and I have been told more will be welcome so you will see some more of those in the following months. Also a selection of my male cards will be welcomed so I think I will be kept busy.</i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well the BIG tidy will continue for some time to come so who knows what comes out of the cupboard next. Again I am so pleased that you all visit and comment as I do love reading those. Get ready for shiny photo overload.</i><br />

I am in great need of a Gallant Knight to comment on all your great cards for me. I am browsing and enjoying your blogs but I tumbled UP the stairs and hurt my paws so typing is being kept to a minimum. I am hoping to go to the Shepton craft show on Friday not that I need anything, lol but I like to see stuff.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>This stamp was in the bottom of the bottom box of stamps and I still cannot throw anything crafty away. I cannot say who made it as it came in a box of pre-loved stamps some time ago. If any of you have a spare gallant knight let me know, sample attached (would prefer one without a beard, lol).</i></span><br />

Thank you for your comments which I enjoyed reading very much. I have been reliably informed that 25 is the new special birthday to celebrate, well I was happy to babysit the little fellow as my daughter got taken out to dinner and a bit of a relax. It is the first time she has left him so a new experience for all. </span></i><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So that is number 2 past the 25 post and daughter number 3 will follow suit next year and have those years just flown by. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our motorhome is back home finally, a big delay as the Italians sent the wrong part and it should have come from Germany in the first place. If we ever buy another vehicle it will be the most common make in the country.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have managed to move the array of things stored in the house back into it so I can now enter my craft space without a hard hat. </span></i><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No excuse not to tidy up in here now, but I am not going to do the vital stats thingy, lol. I managed to get my first set of cards for this year to the charity shop yesterday, got to put inserts in the next lot and they will follow, the lady in the shop was very enthusiastic about them which made me happy. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My daughter hates fuzzy or large cards so this card is simple with three die cuts layered using Die-versions solo sentiment Happy Birthday </span></i><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">which found it's way into my shopping basket and I think will get a lot of use. Also the Accent IT - Labels & Tags.</span></i><br />

Hope you are all well. My neck is still twinging but I can look about now, just not up and down. It is a bit of a disadvantage at 5 foot 2 inches not to be able to look up of course.</span></i><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As you all know my attention span is ....... so I cannot find this blog again but it gave me a real giggle. Someone had posted their vital statistics at the side of their blog. It consisted of </i><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Number of stamps owned</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Number of stamps used</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Number of dies owned</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Number of dies used</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>etc, etc</i></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>This appealed to my newly formed OCD tendencies but perhaps not to my <b>sensible</b> side. I could buy new items if I set my optimum usage percentage very low, lol .</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>OK I know I'm barking so here goes my last 2 doggie cards. The labrador die was a bargain but I realised after I had bought it that I have never seen a labrador standing still. </i></span></div>

I have found something worse than driving on the M5 - yes, driving on the M6. These narrowed lanes and contraflows with huge trucks made me tense so in stepped my cervical spondylosis big time. I really hate being such a wimp where my driving is concerned and only managed a third of the distance. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I also cannot believe that we were stationary on four different motorways on the return journey. I wonder how people cope with travelling on a daily basis these days. It is just as well my works put me out to grass some time ago, good job I'm not a horse of course with all my ailments. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Now that I have put my little world to rights I shall pop my wee card on here but before that I will share a smile. I have been creating cards with manly colours and was surprised when hubby came to select a card to send, he chose my "too bright" card, lol. Here is today's play hopefully not too dull.</i></span><br />

Had a bit of my brick background left so had to have a play. I am very pleased that my blog has returned to having english instructions of it's own accord, they were a bit difficult to follow in portugese (I have enough trouble with english, lol). </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Our motorhome has a bit of a continuing saga attached at the moment, it went in for MOT and passed but then while still at the garage the doorlock failed and a replacement seems to be as rare as hen's teeth so we haven't had it back. We may be travelling in my little IQ when we go back to Liverpool next week, unfortunately to attend another funeral as my hubby's aunt passed away. She did not want to linger so we are pleased for her. I cannot believe how busy this year has been so far. We will hopefully have the rafters and joists in place on our roof before we set off, rain and hail permitting. I still think I am missing out on global warming. </span></i><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My card is for a dog lover this time and uses one of my oldest "dog" dies.

This past week I managed to go for a walk with two of my daughters and my gorgeous little grandson, he is doing very well so thank you for asking. I was fair puffed out after the event so have dusted off my exercise machine and have restarted my physio. I was lucky in that the physio set my exercises to do on the machine I have at home so really I have no excuse not to do them - much better idea than using the machine to dry my towel on. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I am having some success with my decluttering and have unearthed my piano (you think I jest). Had some fun explaining to my fuzzy FM brain that the left hand goes CBAGF, fortunately it takes headphones so the strangled cat noise can only be heard by me. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The cats on my card are much more peaceful I think, and I did enjoy popping them all on there. My pal Val at <a href="http://aquarius-aquariusblog.blogspot.pt/">http://aquarius-aquariusblog.blogspot.pt/</a> </i></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">was asking what we did before so many lovely dies, my! that question had me thinking about my wonderful addiction, lol. So here is my fun loving cat card which will suit anyone and I am at last also managing to do some of these animal cards I set out to do about a year ago. </i><br />

Thank you for continuing to pop in on my occasional visit and also your lovely comments. Today I have a very quick card to celebrate the fact we have had a few days of sunshine in Somerset, we are all breathing sighs of happiness, also another much needed man card.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>My de-cluttering continues apace although so far my crafty stash has escaped, lol. The only thing I will say is that craft shopping is now minimum, as we are told that financial recovery is on it's way - I am very proud of my contribution to the said recovery. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The peel off box has been out again as I do like to use up some of my old stash and they are quite useful when you need a quick card and don't want to make a mess - hmmm does that sound right! </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I also used the <b>Die-namics</b> Sun Ray die which is one of my favourites. </i></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Goodness me isn't time flying past, seems to be leaping on in weeks rather than days. Better get this post onto here now and hopefully I will get to visiting you later. In case I don't, and even if I do, I am sending hugs and happiness to all, Flora.</i><br />

Well my grandson has arrived with a bit of encouragement, including a blue light dash between hospitals, as he was determined not to put in an appearance. I don't really blame him as we have had such an appalling spate of weather.

Hope you have all recovered - I have checked and none of those leggy bits escaped into blogland. This is a very quick card which I made with a couple of sample die-cuts I was sent when I ordered others, of course these two are now on my wish list. I think this card is quite gentle on the eye. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The fun part of receiving sample cuts is trying to work out which die, and I tracked these down to Die-versions (haven't got any of that make yet!), there are so many makes available nowadays. I am still struggling with the weather here in Somerset, I seem to remember being told that the West country had such wonderful weather, where has it gone!!! Off to put the heating back on. Hugs to all. xx Flora</i></span><br />

I am still without a craft area to work in so have been a very absent blogger, I hope you are all well and coping with the atrocious weather we are having. I feel very sorry for anyone who has been flooded so hugs to anyone affected.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I have no idea where the time is going, even my coffee gets cold before I get to it. I got sidetracked into de-cluttering and have spent many hours cleaning the hundreds of books we own and selecting many hundred to go to the bookbank. We have also recycled a huge amount, including decades of collected magazines but I have said a firm NO to anything crafty going, lol.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Asked to make a man card with scary stuff I was tempted to just write (Merry Christmas) on it. Here is what I put together and any comments/suggestions will be gratefully read. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I have only got a couple of man cards left in my box so I do need to give mojo a huge nudge and get on with it. Hope to pop around and see you all soon.</i></span><br />
