Off to the wedding

Here's a photo of our daughter Sarah & son Jeff before they left for my nephews wedding today. Our other son Paul and our daughter-in-law Kirsty couldn't attend just not able to travel from Dubai. Kenny and I were so sad not to be able to attend either. Just hoping Jeff's careful of his newly broken foot. Get well soon Jeff and congratulations and best wishes Mike & Donna xx

Another wedding card

I was asked to make this card for my nephew and his partner who are finally getting married on Sunday. Let's hope the weather improves but if not I'm sure they'll have a wonderful day.

Keepsake Box

I've been busy making my first ever Keepsake Box. It was quite a challenge for me as my daughter-law-asked me to make one for a freind who's getting married next month. It was dificult as Kirsty is in Dubai and all my instructions and questions were done via email. After a lot of trial and error I'm deighted to say Kirsty loves it and if I had a market I would make them to sell.
I'm looking forward to my birthday tomorrow. Going with my family to the theatre to see We Will Rock You.

Wedding Card

 

Have to say I'm proud of this one. The photo doesn't do it justice.

How to make a lace flower.

I've finished the wedding card which I'll put on later. I've decorated it with flowers, one of them I made with lace. I took a 6" piece of white lace stitched along the top with running stitch then pulled the thread to gather it. Then I stitched the two open ends together .......hey presto a flower. I added a gem to the centre. Really pretty and only took a minute.

Today

I've had a lovely lazy day.I needed it after shopping in town with Jeff & Kenny yesterday which I enjoyed. Spent most of my time just reading and getting ideas from some of the great blogs I follow. I also downloaded some really nice free digi stamps from some of the blogs. I have started a new card for my nephew and his future wife. They're getting married next month. I hope the sun shines for them on the day and for the rest of their lives together. Finally I got a lovely text from Emily to thank me for the birthday card I made her. She thought it was absolutely beautiful. That did wonders for my ego and confidence. Thanks Emily.
