MOTHER'S DAY CARD

Mum always jokes that I leave family cards right up to the last minute - ie the day before - and sometimes she is right - so she will be really pleased that I made her Mother's Day card about 10 days early!

Image is a housemouse one, from decoupage range from Joanna Sheen, the patchwork paper was from Poofie range from Docrafts. Decided on this image as Mum is thinking of starting to do patchwork or applique and thought it might inspire her!

LATEST CARD

Made these two cards for a friend of mine recently.

Iris is a work colleague who became a good friend and although I stopped working with her in 1995 we still keep in touch and we try to go out at least once a year if we can, if we can manage it.

Made this card as a get well card for her recent hip op - I know she didnt have a bandaged foot but she has crutches and the closest I could get!

This card was done for her 80th Birthday this week. She was delighted with it, even if she did open it a day early, the naughty woman!

I MEAN IT THIS TIME!

I am going to do my blog regularly and by regularly I mean at least 2 or 3 times a week.

Will keep you updated on what is happening with me both on a craft basis and on a job seeking and grieving basis!

SORRY FOR THE ABSENCE

Sorry I have not updated my blog late, but my father was diagnosed with bladder cancer earlier in the year and was undergoing treatment, unfortunately the treatment was not having any effect and in fact the cancer had spread and so we made the difficult decision to stop treatment.

Sadly on 12th August after contracting an infection in his brain which he could not fight off and he passed away.

Obviously have not felt like blogging but am now feeling a little more with it and will update my blog more regularly.
