anniversary sampler

well still no cards but i have been busy. I'm in the process of packing up everything from the craft room ready for a refurb and a really good clearout. I have been stitching this for the outlaws and sods law i ran out of thread with 2 letters to go. None available locally and when i ordered it online i had an email saying out of stock till monday oh well you can see it as is. just needs the 2 letters and washing and framing.

finally finished

Well i started this months ago and have gone back to it on and off and now it's finally finished it just needs washing , pressing and framing. No cards i'm afraid . I seem to have lost my mojo completely. Maybe a deep clean of the craft room and finding things i forgot i had will bring it back.

both sides of the coin

Yesterday was the 1st anniversary of carly's cochlear implant operation the 16th feb is the anniversary of her switch on so we had a little party for her . Kaitlyn told her teacher she was going to a happy new ear party and the teacher couldn't stop laughing . It's amazing what a huge difference such small pieces of technology have made to carly's life and we can't thank her surgeon enough for all he's done her scars aren't even visable. So we had a really happy day.
  Today we are on the flip side of the coin my youngest brother should have been 46 today but unfortunately 6 and a half years ago he was found dead. So today is a little more sober than yesterday . so Mel wherever you are RIP little bro . Love and miss you more than you'd ever know.

Here's what i was doing instead of making cards.

Carly announced on friday that her dolly mary was cold cos she needs a coat so her mum looked at dolls clothes and nearly choked at the prices. So i looked in the craft room and found my long packed away knitting needles. I bought some wool on saturday and started knitting saturday night here's what i've got so far . 1 pram suit with bobble hat , 1 pair of knickers and matching vest , 1 dress with matching shoes/socks and headband , 1 coat with matching bonnet , all waiting for ribbons and buttons on their way from ebay also nearly finished an old fashioned full length nightie and mop cap.lol. don't know what carly will think.
