Nothing to do with Crafting

A photo of our car windscreen this morning.  Nothing to do with crafting but affa bonnie!

SWRI Favour Box

A local SWRI group are celebrating their 80th birthday and I have been asked to make a favour box for each member to commemorate the occasion.

They each contain a couple of Terry's chocolate orange segments (thought it would make a nice change from mints).

The embossed sentiment is from the Papermania Greetings 1 set.

A Couple of Friends' Cards

Here are a couple of cards I have made recently for friends' birthdays.  Although they look different they are actually very similar in that both use Nestabilities oval dies, mounted onto designer paper.

This one uses TPC Studio 'Girlfriend' stamp set

and this one is Sugar Nellie's 'Guardian Angel' stamp coloured with promarkers.

Australian Cross Stitch

Thinking of my brother and his family who live in Brisbane and are enduring the terrible Queensland flooding.  Fortunately they live in a suburb which is far enough away from the river system and is on slightly higher ground.

As you can see from the date on this cross stitch, it was sewn 20 years ago when my friend Aileen and I took a year out to go travelling in Australia. (apologies for the window reflection)

Macrame Owl

Mojo still hasn't returned after all that Christmas crafting, so here is a macrame owl which I made at least 30 years ago (when I was still at school!).  He was recently rescued from my parent's loft.

T'wit T'woo ....

An Angel

I sewed this cross stitch about 6 or 7 years ago while we were living overseas.  She was put into a box and was totally forgotten about until recently when I was having a "tidy up" and found her again.

She's called Serena and is by 'Just Nan'.  She's worked on 32 count linen and I'm sure I would get cross-eyed if I were to attempt sewing her now.

Anyway, she has now been framed and has a new home in the "lucky corner" of my desk.
