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.......

aztec gold
aztec patterns/symbols

I hope you all enjoy this months page.

My 40th birthday party

Well folks here it is the long awaited proof that I did have my 40th birthday party in February even though I turned 40 in December so now I guess I will have to admit to being 40 lol
The first photo is a group photo of everyone who turned up in fancy dress, not a bad turn out I thought. Can you guess who the guy in the front is ment to be? He did have a body warmer on (life preserver, a clue) lol

Thank you Val

Finally at last, late as usual Ive put my blog award in pride of place. Thank you Val



The three things I should/would never do are:

1. I should never put off til tomorrow what I could do today.
2. I would never ask anyone to do something I wouldnt do myself.
3. I would never do onto others that I would not have done onto myself.

Ps this was hard to think of 3 things I should/would never do.

It was also hard to decide who to pass this award onto, so many blogs who already had this award. So the three blogs Id like to give this award to are Foxy's crafts, Gills take nothing for granted In the hope it might inspire Gill to blog again and Claire

I want to share a story today instead of a picture

My grandson was visiting me yesterday and I was getting a bit of a cuddle I pursed my lips to give him a kiss and my daughter said give granma a big kiss. So he opened his mouth as babies do and landed a smacker on my lips. Well, my friend who was there regretted not having a camera cause apparently my face was a picture it just lit up. I nearly cried my grandson just melted my heart completely in that moment. Now if I had caputured that moment the layout would have been "unconditional love" Oh how I wish I had that moment captured on camera. Oh well such is life. The moment is forever engraved in my heart and will stay with me for ever.

I thought Id share, hope you enjoyed my story today.

Sparkles
