ops and ops again

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope you have all had a good time over the festive period, been rather busy at work and lost my mojo for the crafting, so sorry for the delay.   We were also without internet for a month, we changed our provider and due to delivery issues at our local office plus the weather it took a month for us to get the router!  Boy was I climbing up the wall and having to go over to in-laws to get access was not helping. We have had a couple of trips to the vets with Bluey, somehow his eye got infected, but seems to be recovering now, the vet could not get hold of him to exam his eye properly the first time so had to do it from a distance, the vet said that Bluey was too fast for him, and that he was usually good at catching them was well! And then about 3 weeks later we had to go back as it healed and then got worst but thankfully Bluey is making a good recovery.  Menace and Bluey did enjoy their trip to the vets, and Santa was good to them at Christmas.  We also had two funerals within the space of two weeks, one a friend and the other a distant relation just before Christmas.

I am determine that this year I really take off on the craft side of things and develop the web site and do a few craft fairs, need to revive my interest in crafting again.

Bought some new carts for the Cricut Expressions from Create and Craft, create a critter and walk in the garden and created a couple of cards with that, the first one is from walk in the garden and used an A4size card due to the size I printed off!  Made ladybirds and cornflowers, and then “thanks a bunch”.  The other card has beehives and a couple of bees.

Found a template that I’d like in January’s Quick cards made easy and instead of cupcakes (could not find any bigger ones than the Martha Stewart stamp and punch) got My Craft Studio “a bit of folk” cd and made Russian dolls instead.

I got the Kraft Konstruction CD from My Craft Studio and made one up using the pre-cut templates, for the box, I cut the middle square out, put in an acetate window and then a fine line of glitter around the cut edge. 

 

Been busy knitting as well, discovered the can can wool and love it! Here are a couple of scarves that I have made using the wool, love some of the colours, especially the red!

Until the next time.

Chou!
