CD Sunday challenge - Anything goes #129

 

Hi,

As i write this and this is a scheduled post,  it’s pouring with rain again,  blowing a gale,  it’s been a very wet winter and going into spring,   roll on summer,  I have had enough of winter can we just jump into summer now.  

Today is St Patricks day so Happy St  Patrick’s day to all my followers. I hope you have a lovely day,  I did a post yesterday for St Patricks day,  I know it was a day early but I don’t like two different posts in one day.

It’s time for another challenge at CD Sunday,  and this fortnight the host is me.

For  this  challenge I made a card from a CD I don’t remember using before,  just shows how many I have  anyway the image and the backing paper are from Carnival of Colour by Ooh La La Creations,  I matted the image onto gold brushed Miri card from Hunkydory,  cut out the daisies from another sheet and decoupaged them onto the daisies in the picture,  as Meg would say fussy cut and it really was a fussy cutting time, and added  a blue bow.  

CD Sunday Plus challenge has a Facebook page for those who would like to enter the challenge and do not have a blog,   here is a link to the page 

I hope you will visit the CD Sunday Plus Challenge site, and remember if you want to enter the challenge you must use something from a CD, USB or digital material no matter how small and let us know where and what you used the material from,   and that it is a card or a project.    Here is a link to CD Sunday Plus Challenge blog  we would be pleased to see you.

Happy St Patricks Day


 Hi,

Yes I am a day early and St Patricks day is tomorrow but I have another post going onto my blog tomorrow so as I hate two different posts on one day,  I am putting this one a day early.

                            Happy St Patricks Day to all my Irish followers

I made this tatted clover leaf,  it’s my own pattern I threw together,   I am calling it an Onion Ring clover leaf,  it’s in development as you could say,  needs a few finishing touches perhaps a few more stitches to make it bigger,   but for today it will do.   It’s onion ring leaves and a spiral chain for the stalk.  I  used Lizbeth no 20 thread in Christmas green mix,  I am running out of dark green,  so I used this varigated thread instead.  I will write my pattern out at some point

Have a lovely weekend,  I am away this weekend

2024 TTA L Temperature tat along part four


 Hi,

This is part four of the temperature tat along which is on facebook,  each day I note the temperatures of the day and then do tat the colours as per the temperature chart  I am only nine days behind,  simply because I had a couple of days when I was not well enough to do anything.

This is now the whole of February,   the orange square was the 14th when we had a very warm days hence the first orange square,  hope we have more and the temperatures go up,  just getting fed up with yellow and green,   the 29th day I have sewn on two beads L and P to note is was Leap year day..

I am using Lizbeth thread no 20 throughout.

Have a lovely weekend.

CD Sunday Challenge Anything goes - # 128


 Hi,

Gosh we are now into the third month of the year,  I hope the year will slow up a bit,  this fortnight our new challenge is hosted by Jo.

For my card this fortnight I have used an image from Squeeze cards Furry friends C.D by Digi crafts,  I did not use the squeeze bit but decoupaged the image on a normal card,  I matted the image onto gold bushed miri  card by Hunkydory.  The backing paper is from stash and I added a hand made bow and peel off edging

2024 TTAL - temperature tat along part three


 Hi,

On this very very wet day,  I realised that I had not shown you the temperature tat along  which is on Facebook at the moment,  well it will be for the whole year,   our temperatures have been on the mild side for a few weeks now,  and my first all one colour square has arrived which was the 13th February,  

I have managed to catch up a little bit over the last week,  when I had to rest after having a procedure 8n hospital,  it’s beginning to get less sore now. Hopefully it will settle down and I will have less pain in my hip.

I will post again next week,  I don’t want to keep boring you by keep showing it too often.

Stay dry and warm,  at the moment we have a lot of flooding near us in Frome and surrounding areas, if any one wants some rain,  we would be pleased to off load it for some sunshine.

Have a good week

Margaret
