Good morning and Happy St. Georg's Day. Do you think you will be slaying any dragons today?
What an extremely busy start to the week I had yesterday. It was lovely, just busy. It started with a brilliant morning crafting with friends. We made 4 cards and had a great time. The lemon cake was very lemony. After a late lunch and a tidy up I went off to meet some friends for a bit of a stroll. Not the easiest thing for me to do but it was so nice being in the fresh air. I can certainly recommend it.
The 'to do' list is already written for today, quite a lot of birthdays and special birthday coming up in May so I will be getting the cards sorted for those.
Mum is off to the hospital today. I mentioned a while ago that she has more skin cancer so she is off to see the consultant and to plan for her operation to remove it. She isnt doing too well at the moment and this week she has an appointment every day with someone from the medical profession either at hospital or home. Fingers crossed she can cope with it all. It is her first time with Ambulance Transportation. She should have had this appointment two weeks ago but the transportation never turned up!! Fingers crossed.
I also hope to be getting a few bits prepared for a lovely day that we have planned for 5th May.
Do you fancy coming along? It would be lovely to see you if you do. The day is all planned but you know what happens to me and my plans but, we have to make a start somewhere.
You may have to click on the image above so that you can read it a little easier. Just let me know what time you hope to be there as space in limited. I am so excited to be able to hold this event.
I had another play with a stamp set called Hills of Tuscany and this is a rather 'moody' card. I havent put a sentiment on it yet, I am just waiting for the right occasion.
I started off with the sky in Pool Party ink and put the sun/moon in the space in the clouds.
Next came the house, which is two seperate stamps one being the structure of the house and the other being the roof. I dont always get the alignment 100% but I dont think it matters too much. The house then had to be grounded and I created a bit of an incline (hill) at the side of the house for the trees to go on. There are two sets of trees which is lovely as one is taller than the other set. I added a bit more green/grass areas and put in red little dots (another one of the stamps) to look like flowers but it didnt quite work out that way. Love this card and it wont be long before the stamp set is out again.
I thought I would show you this, something I made as a refrence that I shall keep in the stamp set.
This set will retire at the end of the month or sooner, if the stocks run out. If you would like me to order a set for you, to collect from The Craft Room please, do let me know. If you are not quite local and would like to order this yourself, click on the image below and put Hills of Tuscany in the search bar.
