Hi all hope you are well on this very windy day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though it's days like this you need to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dig out your winter gear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So out came my latest project i just finished,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these fabulous cuffs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the pattern free <a href="http://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/2014/09/fair-isle-cuffs.html" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the Little Cotton Rabbits blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Julie is such a talented knitter i love her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
animals, I've got a rabbit on the go at the moment.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have altered it slightly from the original,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i had to go up a needle size for it to fit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a mixture of Drops Merino 4 ply and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Debbie Bliss 4 ply.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm very impressed with Drops yarn it's so soft and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's good on price as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose similar colours to my <a href="http://angiegees.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/nordic-shawl-no-1.html" target="_blank">Nordic shawl</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i can wear them together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't done any knitting for about a year, i started</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
getting wrist pain's so had to stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When i saw these cuffs i knew i needed to make some,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i have learnt to knit in a different way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was tricky at first but by the time i had completed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the first cuff i was getting there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think this was the greatest pattern to learn with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but hay ho i got there in the end and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NO PAIN</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
YEAHHHH!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have just been enjoying the summer and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
so i took a bit of a break.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's good to chill and take stock .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A Coffee Pot cover i made for my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
caravan,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

I used a mixture of Cotton and Acrylic yarn in an </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aran weight and a 5.00mm hook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a foundation row just short of wrapping all around</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the tin and then just made rows of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Double and Treble crochets,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until you reach the height you want. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's as simple as that.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ta-Dah!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've finished my cushion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i love love love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished sewing the buttons on while watching </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TV last night, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i think they finish it off nicely and also hide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the slightly scuwiff joins in a few places.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used Tilda Fabric </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The All that is spring collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the muted tones, they are right up my street. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The buttons are also from the Tilda range.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the back i have used some gorgeous taupe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clarke and Clarke spot and i actually</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fitted a zip for the first time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHOOOO!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always chickened out before and gone for an</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
envelope fold for the backs of my cushions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must confess i did have to unpick one side and resew it, as i did go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a little bit wonky. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't as tricky as i thought it would be,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thank god for YouTube</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hubby doesn't understand why we have extra cushions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the bed, i just tut at him an say</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"because it looks pretty." </div>

Hi blogger's I'm still here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a bit hectic here with my son starting his new </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apprenticeship and we have to get him to work at 8 in the morn,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as he's not old enough to drive yet his dad and i are his Taxi.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Not used to getting up so early)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It's been a couple of weeks now and we</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are getting into a routine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(can't wait for him to pass his driving test though!!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been having a play with patch working and just finished</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a cushion </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure what this pattern is called i saw it in a magazine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i bought from W H Smiths patch working for beginners.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the mag they made a place mat but i wanted to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
make mine into a more practical cushion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also had a go a free motion quilting </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
managing a loopy swirl travelling up and down the blocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gosh it's harder than you think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a few practise go's before i plucked up the courage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to work on my cushion front.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little bit scared and a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
deep breath off i went. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It turned out alright for a first go,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are some fab patterns out there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more practise needed though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I even had a go at making my own bias edging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I love it</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so much so as i was wandering around blogland</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and came across a fabulous pattern called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cathedral Window </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was desperate to try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as soon as i finished this cushion i was straight onto the next</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a few YouTube tutorials later off i went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi all I've not been blogging</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for a bit, the only reason is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i haven't had any little projects to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather has been fab so I've been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pottering outside and hubby is also building himself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a workshop in the garden so it's a bit of a building site.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am quietly getting on with my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
crochet sampler blanket i will finish it this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have also been thinking of having a dabble with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sewing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Patchworking in particular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i stumbled across a fabulous blog </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
called <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/" target="_blank">Cluck Cluck Sew</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all i can say is wow she makes the most </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
beautiful quilts and cushions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When i saw this tutorial for a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2011/03/tutorial-sprocket-pillows.html" target="_blank">Sprocket Cushion </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i knew i had found my first project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So last night i set to and couldn't stop till i finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had bought this camper van material in a pack with these other </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
three last year. I had no idea what i was going to do with it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i just loved it because it was pink and had campers on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When i saw the sprocket cushion i knew this pack was </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perfect. Oooh i felt a bit giddy at the thought and had to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
start straight away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i rummaged around and found some plain cotton material</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that Beth had left over from her patch blanket she made, and away i went.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6c296SRHa6VlOHh8OOS6oJS05Uqr65y4jtTq1TENF8rNez3qmHlQrJvHW5-2ywne_k5lZh3Oo25KKJ-jyBNA2flNFIHs8lJ29756kMrWeh0sqfSFcJ4SLpV0E5iP-p2xfBO5AtjI5IGk/s1600/IMG_0477.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6c296SRHa6VlOHh8OOS6oJS05Uqr65y4jtTq1TENF8rNez3qmHlQrJvHW5-2ywne_k5lZh3Oo25KKJ-jyBNA2flNFIHs8lJ29756kMrWeh0sqfSFcJ4SLpV0E5iP-p2xfBO5AtjI5IGk/s1600/IMG_0477.JPG" height="576" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not bad for a first attempt . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think i would prefer a patterned material</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the sides and back, and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my front patchwork wouldn't lie flat after</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i had sewn the pieces together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pulling it in the middle with a button did hide a lot of faults</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i got away with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm definitely going to make another, it's a good excuse to go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
material shopping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only problem is it's yet another new hobby!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need more space?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh yeah!! hubbies workshop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've more chance of winning the lotto </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
than getting in there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all i know I'm a bit late showing the card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i made for my Dad for Fathers day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be honest, i have spent the last week outside and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not at the computer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather has been glorious and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i would rather be outside,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crocheting, Pottering, watching the Tennis, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sort of through the conservatory window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished my matching cushion for my outdoor sofa,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll not bore you with another picture it's the same as <a href="http://angiegees.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/crochet-cushion-ta-dah.html" target="_blank">this one</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here at last is the card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bpXQ_93_1_E5zL2717w1YHPNGNFjUM-5uOZLpRXpfwIJg2zFyduBVlHzlH0DZaJCRI1ZKm94PXLIavk48FdlyG5UgH6j542-J2pdNnJgXWQw74gMtg1Dzg2ytDz6IK_Zd4NHYKn1oR8/s1600/IMG_0453.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bpXQ_93_1_E5zL2717w1YHPNGNFjUM-5uOZLpRXpfwIJg2zFyduBVlHzlH0DZaJCRI1ZKm94PXLIavk48FdlyG5UgH6j542-J2pdNnJgXWQw74gMtg1Dzg2ytDz6IK_Zd4NHYKn1oR8/s1600/IMG_0453.JPG" height="442" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Told you i made a card and gone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zentangle Mad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doing this is so therapeutic, you get so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
engrossed in it time just flies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can imagine doing Zentangles would be a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
good stress buster.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally got back on with the sampler blanket i started</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a few months ago, i'm not going to start anything else until</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little voice in my head just Laughed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and said "Yeah right".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See you soon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi all i popped on today to show you </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a couple of anniversary cards i have made recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This first one is for my Mum and Dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mum loves Orchids and this digi stamp was perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've coloured it with Spectrum Noir pencils and blended with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sansador and paper stumps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the sentiment is from woodware and I've stamped it so it looks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all joined up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been having a play with the art of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ZENTANGLE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so so so addictive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a little panel for the edge of the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also got another card to show soon were I've gone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
zentangle mad.</div>

Hi all on the gorgeous bank holiday Monday,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sun is shining here and we have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a BBQ planned for tea time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(so pleeeze stay Mr sun).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now the weather is better out came my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
outdoor sofa and i wanted to make a crochet cushion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to match the cushions i made last year out of some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gorgeous Clarke and Clarke material i had stashed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a bit of a change and made a ruffle trim </div>

around the cushion.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our Zanussi has served us well but had started to show its age, like I had to kick the door to get it going, also all the writing had faded off so I had to put them back on with a marker pen. It also started to make a funny sound when draining.</span></div>

<div>
So hubby took me out washing machine shopping,<br />
after doing a bit of surfing on the internet for the best price.<br />
Isn't the internet great you don't have to trawl around all the shops any more<br />
then end up back at the first place because they were the best. </div>

Happy Friday all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What could be better, It's Friday, the sun is shinning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i have just received my complete set of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spectrum Noir pencils from C&C.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love blendable pencils, i have the Polychromos ones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as you will probably know already. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But after seeing the fab pencils from Spectrum Noir on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TV last week i had to give in and order them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well they were a very good price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBJuu7k9wftschdilxk-SOIAJbgC8qS1accnRgkLtbYPodYAEjKWYhgwGn7RjWRYBE9DLU4-5TYDf7fP2bMs8x9_IgKnOULaErtxyxlpc0__mtVbUfaVPexvpt5jdkE9CKIaxOh8SeHxU/s1600/IMG_0354.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBJuu7k9wftschdilxk-SOIAJbgC8qS1accnRgkLtbYPodYAEjKWYhgwGn7RjWRYBE9DLU4-5TYDf7fP2bMs8x9_IgKnOULaErtxyxlpc0__mtVbUfaVPexvpt5jdkE9CKIaxOh8SeHxU/s1600/IMG_0354.JPG" height="442" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can download a colour chart from the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
website <a href="http://www.spectrumnoir.com/downloads/" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did the A4 blank colour chart so i could colour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it in myself, then i would have a true colour copy for matching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did have one little problem i discovered that i had</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two of the same colour in my essentials tin. That meant i was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
missing one colour so i emailed Crafters Companion and they said</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they would mail me the missing pencil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It hasn't arrived yet, but they couldn't have been more helpful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch this space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing i wanted to do was to colour on Kraft card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they had some samples on kraft which looked great</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i wanted to give it a go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the result of a bit of playing last night.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The colour goes on and blends beautifully.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do feel i need a bit more practise on the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
skin to make it stand out more, but no I'm </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
really happy with the results.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Crafters Companion Kraft card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and inked it up with vintage photo distress ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Handmade Coffee filter paper flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( I so need to make more).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leaves are from a Crealies die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stamp i have used is Tilda with cherries in basket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's an older stamp but I'm going to make a point of using them more,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep buying new ones and the old ones seem to get forgotten about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't tell you where the papers are from, i found this in my bits draw</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and thought i would go perfectly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tim Holtz sentiment tag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lace from stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well would you believe it the postie has just been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my missing pencil has arrived.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can't beat that for good customer service.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I just love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern is lovely, i did try it with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
different colours as well but i do think it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looks best all in one colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you fancy having a go you can find the tutorial</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The buttons are some 10mm mother of pearl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i bought off eBay i just manage to scrape</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these seven together. I didn't have </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enough pink ones (need to buy more) but i like the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
variations in the colours they all work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right i'm off into the garden again while it's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sunny, going by the weather report </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this morning it looks like rain here for the rest of this week.</div>

My potatoes will love it anyway.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi there hope you all had nice Easter break,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we went away in the camper for the weekend and OMG</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i think the whole world had decided to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do the same, what would normally be a 2 hour journey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
turned into 4 1/2 hours, the motorways</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where horrendous. We don't normally go far on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bank holidays now i remember why.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhow we did have a brill time when we got there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so all's well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On to my card i treated myself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to a new Tilda although she's not new new she has been</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
around for a while, Sir Stampalot has just replenished</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stocks and i couldn't resist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had another go at the no lines technique</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this time using Memento Desert sand stamp pad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't gone mad this time and painted it as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i would normally. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm much happier with the results </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but more practice </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is still needed though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used Distress Markers </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the colours </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warm Lipstick, Scattered Straw, Tattered rose,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Antique linen, vintage photo, Weathered wood,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pumice stone and Shaded Lilac</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also made some more coffee filter paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
flowers. The great thing is you can match</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
them with the same colours used in your card.</div>

glued it to some bakers twine and put little</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Papers are a Raspberry Road digi, my printer had a paddy and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
printed it out with more pink in which i quite</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
liked so i used it. I have stamped</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a swirl in warm lipstick on the edge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi again here's the second Easter card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used an old LOTV stamp can't remember it's name</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found it while rummaging in my stamps draw, I came across</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of stamps I'd forgotten about. Ooh! It was like, you know when </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr or Mrs Postie drops a crafty parcel through your door, excitement,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something new. Well I had that feeling again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used Distress Markers to colour him in,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also treated myself to a pot of stampendous Frantage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In shabby white. I have noticed it on a lot of your cards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I love the look you get from it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's fabulous.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Hi there I've been having another play, it started </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I was having a root around my stamping draw.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this stamp that hadn't ever been inked.<br />
<br />
tut! tut!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The stamp is called Tiffany<br />
by Krista Smith <br />

I got out my Copics and tried the flicking technique and I love the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
results I got with the hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then trawling round blog land came across a blog called </div>

Your own flowers so I had to have a go. </div>

Here are a few I made they are made from watercolour paper </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It turned into another Mother's Day card,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically because I already had the sentiment made,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was lying on my desk and matched perfectly so why not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed making this card it's got a bit of shabby chic going on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'll definitely be making more flowers.</div>

colour with these or should i say</div>

I can see a big pile of coloured images </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
growing on my desk in the future waiting to be made into cards.</div>

I'll probably end up with more images than cards made.</div>

trouble with.</div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

It was the paper. I thought that I had a good quality one but no.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doing a bit of research on the matter I found out that a lot of</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
people recommend The Langton watercolour paper, they do</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a smooth pad for fine art. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I popped into my local art shop to get some and hay presto </div>

OMG I must have spent 3 hours last night doing this, </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was a lot harder than I thought it would be.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I did feel like I was getting better at it the more i painted.</span></div>

I'm not to happy with the face and hair I think I have messed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
around with it to much. Her face is to dark I feel, but I love the flowers, dress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and boots.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my new Disress markers on some watercolour paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did start off using the markers straight onto the paper but found it hard to blend</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when the paper got wet so I scribbled the pens onto an acrylic block and painted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with them I got loads better results this way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Apologises for the picture, I took the photo last night when I finished around </div>

I have tried to brighten it up a little on this photo but I think is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have looked all over and couldn't find my old one.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
