MAWTT

Hello All
Thank you for popping in. It appears things are getting back to normal (fingers crossed!). My friend's funeral is on Friday which obviously is going to be very upsetting and I will put a dedication to her memory on here at some point. 
Yesterday I had a minor op on both wrists! I wasn't expecting both to be hacked. They are small punch biopsies but I do look like I've had a very nasty accident. I wasn't expecting to have them sutured either. Anyway, I'm fine and will be back to work tomorrow.
Later this week I hope to go to a new Salsa venue, I don't think I'll be dancing - too scared to get my arms knocked. A very good friend is teaching and his partner has just given birth to a beautiful daughter and I'd like to pass on my gift onto them. If I don't go OH will do the honours. if I don't go I will go to our little craft group and get this infamous dress I need to make cut out. I'll be able to lay all of the fabric out on long tables instead of crawling about on my living room floor! I hope you are able to enjoy the sunshine if you're lucky enough to have some.
Maureen, if only I looked as glamorous as the image on my last post. You'd have to squint very hard and through one eye for me to look half as good!
Jenny L I remember how glamorous my mum looked in her clothes. Whenever we went out to visit relatives etc she always wore beautiful fitted suits with a peplum on the jacket and everyday she wore her hair in a French pleat

On to today's card I have entered this week's MAWTT challenge See here . The theme is stitching. I coloured various "materials" from Serif and used an Ali reeve mask to place the squares and rectangles. The text was printed on my pc and cut out using an EK Success circle cutter. All of the components were then faux stitched 

See you Thursday with photos of the card and gift for the baby. Take care everyone xxxx

  4. Like this design Karen, but watch those wrists. Don't take any chances with them. Sounds like you are going to be busy.

    Eeeeek, that sounds painful. Hope whatever you had that done for, isn't serious.

  10. Hi Karen sounds as though you have had quite a trauma but I hope your wrists won't be painful too long. Doesn't seem to be affecting your crafting though and your card is so effective. Best wishes Jackie x

  11. Hi Jacquie,
    I hope your wrists soon heal and that the biopsy results are good. The card has given me a brilliant idea for a cross stitch/patchwork doing friend!!! Thanks!
