It's a long time since I updated this Blog, over six months in fact, but things happen which take over your life and make blogging seem unimportant. For me this was when my mum died quite suddenly at the beginning of November. She had been suffering from Alzheimers for a few years and was living in a nursing home. Physically she seemed strong but after a fall went downhill rapidly, although it was still a shock when we got the phone call.
I didn't make any cards for a while, but then when I did make some I couldn't be bothered putting them on here or entering any challenges. The longer it went on it became harder to get back into the habit although I did try to keep an eye on the blogs that I follow.
This week I needed to make a card for a new baby boy so chose some papers from Funky Hand, so that I could enter the latest challenge at Get Funky. But although I'm really pleased with the finished card it didn't fit the criteria, it's got spots but no stripes. So I printed a stripey paper from the same collection - 'Son Day' from the Funky Daze CD and made another Baby Boy card. This one is 6" square and includes a Pink Petticoat image and ribbon from my stash.

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of your mum passing away. Lovely you have got back to blogging and I hope your knitting is going well. I bought another pattern off Etsy for some little booties. Seems easier to follow and I think I've about cracked the magic loop. I knit tight so making sure I keep it all very loose so it makes it easier to move the stitches. I must make the monsters tho...just adorable. Would love to see your makes.
Take care, hugs Emma x
Whoops sorry forgot to say that your card is adorable and such gorgeous colours.
