Sincere apologies

hi folks, I just wanted to post my apologies to those who were doing the calendar challenge. Unfortunately due to personal reasons last year I never did finsish the challenge. If anyone wants me to finish the challenge then please ask and if there is enough response I will finish it starting with July as Ive done up to June. I look forward to posting regularly again T x

calendar challenge June

Wow half way through the year already. I hope you ladies are still enjoying doing this challange, I know Im way behind but I have every intention of getting back to doing this calendar soon as well as photographing what Ive done so far and post how Im getting on. Now June is half way through the year and is brought in with the star sign gemini, which is as we know is the twins. So I think the theme for june should be the number 2!.

Hints to help inspire you.

Ive just come down from the Isle of Skye :)

I just wanted to share with you, my favourite picture of my bike taken whilst coming home from and absolutely fantastic weekend away with a great bunch of people on our motorbikes. It was taken at eilean donan castle and its just a stunning background.

First of all we camped in the field that was someones garden, we were invited lol.

There was a great party that night. We then moved onto a campsite in skye where even more biker friends arrived and there was another party lol. Admittedly I was very tired when I got home but it was all soooo worth it. Roll on the next weekend away lol

craft challenge 2010 - May

To follow on nicely from April and hopefully the April showers brought May Flowers the theme of May is 'Flowers' So use your flowers big and small in abundance.

Have fun as always

Finished at last :)

Well folks, Ive finally finished my very first sewing project. The quilt is of course not full size lol Its actually a wall hanging approx 17 by 12 inches but its all my very own work and Im very very very proud of it. The bears, moon and stars were cut out of felt in individual pieces and all hand sewn. It was a kit I bought at the craft fair in Glasgow in March and definately well worth the money I paid for it. Its by no means perfect but I hope my daughter appreciates it as I made it as a gift for her in celebration of my next grandchild due the beginning of October. I am excited about sharing this with everyone so please enjoy.



till next time

craft challenge 2010 - April

Here we are now at 1st of April I hope now one has made a fool out of you. Though having said that it mightmake for a great page cause the theme for this month is 'April fool' though with this theme I thought Id add a little compulsory element. For this page needs to be bright colours and ribbon.

Enjoy

Foolish sparkles too you this month

craft challenge 2010 - March

Wow is it the first of March already? Again having researched this to try and add a bit of interest I have found out that Xipe Totec (Aztec deity) is associated with Spring so therefore it stands to reason the theme for March is........ 'aztec spring'

Some aztec hints.......

I hope you all enjoy this months page.
