A few spare minutes...

As the title suggests...I had a few spare minutes and crocheted this little daisy.  I love blue and pink together so decided to use them instead of the, original, yellow and white. (The colours on the photo came out peach and grey....I may have to make some in peach and grey, when I have a few spare minutes).

I used a pattern by Doni Speigle, which I found via Craftsy.com, in their free patterns section.  


First Birthday🎂

I love this....I had the idea floating around in my head for a few weeks, then finally settled down to make it.  It worked out just as I imagined.....

I used my tattered lace 'little monsters' dies and pig, sheep and meerkat, also from tattered lace.  The alphabet and number dies were made using my cuttlebug dies...I think they are diesire dies but don't quote me?!?  Some pearlised card and Kraft card for matting and layering and 'voila'.

Happy Birthday to my little Great Neice.

Doodles

I made this for my niece's birthday.  I made my own topper, just by doodling, zentangle style. Some matting and layering, a couple of peel off borders, a 'Happy Birthday', little bow and voila my card is complete.

 I really enjoyed making this, it is so simple but, I think, so effective.  I love the way the border looks...just using the three colours and drawing wiggly lines, randomly, over each other....I hope you like it.  Xx

Birthday Panda

This is one of my 'secret' projects, made for my daughter in law's birthday yesterday.  It is only the third book folding I have done, and the first I have decorated.  My past loom band experience really came in handy, when I couldn't find a little Panda to sit on the top.    The designs I am using at the moment are from peerless designs,  they are on cdroms and really easy to do.  I'm loving this new craft......unfortunately. ....
