<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hi..just dipping my toe in again lol...I've been playing with pretty papers and discovering foamiran flowers...yes I know I'm a bit late to the party with these...I was trawling through Pinterest and saw some gorgeous makes and it inspired me to have a go and now I might just have a new obsession! here's a little examples :-)</span></div>

Well Hi...its been a while hasn't it since my last post..lots of things have changed for the good and for the bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't been crafting for a while, only because I wasn't feeling the love for it...I still crochet from time to time but no card making. I have packed up all my stamps, dies and cardstock ..gave some away...but kept my favorites that I couldnt bear to part with, but I really must get a grip and sort it all again and perhaps sell a few bits...my cottage needs to be decluttered!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bad or I should say the sad news is that we lost Ollie last year. We were devastated to find out that he had Diabetes and Cushings Disease. He went down hill very quickly just as we were trying to sort out the medication and it was kinder to say goodbye. So sad. We missed our little man so much, there was a very large Ollie shaped hole in our lives, but in September it was filled with this little bundle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8oxd7VFN2VuV0a17jvhH615UPC3nk1zqqOKfwQ9MP7PhRJFrbHhmURjUuZJjwD_NHn2lhhyphenhyphenqg5G-Br-JkgBDGZql18J3dxYPFhlu4DdzeoQNLrkRC8ZXhKhIIstG1_QnpHz_YheTReyC/s1600/bumble.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8oxd7VFN2VuV0a17jvhH615UPC3nk1zqqOKfwQ9MP7PhRJFrbHhmURjUuZJjwD_NHn2lhhyphenhyphenqg5G-Br-JkgBDGZql18J3dxYPFhlu4DdzeoQNLrkRC8ZXhKhIIstG1_QnpHz_YheTReyC/s320/bumble.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is much bigger now of course</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Meet Bumble</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is such a delight and although we will never forget Ollie, ever, he has filled the hole perfectly...well when I say perfectly I have to say I had forgot how hard it was to have a puppy...lol..but we are getting there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
So the other good news is that I've had an idea buzzing around since before Christmas and this week I managed to get into my craft room and got my sewing machine out. While making I realised that its been nearly 19 years since I made something like this and I had a little stall at a craft museum at the weekends when I lived in Kent and they sold very well. Going back to my first love, other than cards, here are my Bunnies...<br />

Hi....I've been sitting by the fire and doing a lot of crocheting lately...not in the mood again for making cards. I'm thinking of having a major sort out in my craft room soon as some of the stamps I have are a bit 'old hat' now and apart from a few new Tim Holtz products I haven't been tempted to buy anything new for a while. Its hard to keep up with all the new stuff coming out!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my recent crochet make....</div>

...and by that I mean finding my creating MoJo again...its been almost a year since I posted something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All has been fine in my part of the world I just didn't seem to want to get inky....I have been crocheting and making 'pretties' for the odd craft fair but no cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then after trawling around the crafty blogs I started to get itchy fingers again...just shows it never leaves us totally. So I cleared up my craft room to get know my crafty stuff again and this is what I came up with.</div>

I used a gorgeous stamp from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/StarTrishDesign/">StarTrish Design</a>
I coloured her with pencils and cut her out. For the background I used distress inks, stencils etc., I adhered the image to the tag using a 3D pad and added a few sequins for a bit of sparkle. I made this with my niece in mind as she wants to have her hair coloured like this...so Sarah as the message says Be Brave..Make it Happen..xxxx</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used distress pads in shades of yellow....Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber. Using a 'bubble' stencil I coloured around the corners with Iced Spruce used transparent embossed paste through the same stencil add some texture and while wet I dabbed with my finger. Once dried I went over the texture with Iced Spruce again to bring it 'out'. I splattered a bit (maybe too much) with Perfect Pearls and applied tiny bits of silver 'Flitter Flakes' to add more shine. The stamp is by Indigo Blu. I finished with some TH Chit Chat words.</div>

<br />
Anyway... I thought I would have a go at the new challenge over at the <a href="http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.uk/">Craft Stamper</a> Magazine. I haven't entered this one before so I hope my little offering is what they had in mind.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure what flower it is...I found this stamp in my local craft shop (limited stock which is disappointing). It's by Elusive Images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped on multi media card, painted with Distress pads...shaded the edges with the same and splashed about a bit with very watered down inks. I also used a Tim Holtz stencil around the sides but its very faint I didn't want to make it a feature just a hint...Then as I wanted a bit of pearly shine, I used Perfect Pearls mixed with water and sprayed that over. Unfortunately the camera doesn't pick up that but it has given the tag a lovely pearly misty look....I finished with co ordinating ribbons. I had to sit on my hands so I didn't start adding embellishments...I was tempted with sequins and pearls but I wanted the flower to be the main attraction....lol...</div>

Hi Guys....I cant believe its been soon long since my last post...6 months!!!....I haven't been card making for a while...I had a craft fair to do just before Christmas and made loads for that and I think I burnt myself out! Mr Mojo hasn't been around and to be honest its been a relief. It gave me time to re think what I get out of crafting. I have decided I'm not going to do an more craft fairs, most now regulate how many card stalls there are and the Christmas one I managed to get into was so near Christmas it wasn't really worth my time and efforts and I was left with loads of cards and now I have to store them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other thing is that I'm a bit bored with it all, I've been checking out all the new stuff coming on the market...and to be honest (again) there really isn't anything that has taken my eye to get me creating. They all seem a bit samey..I mean how many different cute elephant/sheep/kittens/puppy stamps do you need???!!!. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have taken a step back from it all. I went through all my stamps...some I haven't even used...and sold about 75% of them on ebay. I've been having a cull in my craft room, gave loads of scraps (yes the ones you keep cos you will used it again...not!) away to my neighbours little niece. gave bags of yarn to the charity shops. I have loads of cardstock left and paper pads...but that's more tricky to sell on ebay due to the postal costs so I hanging on to them for the minute</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after all this I hopped around Pinterest to see what would 'float my boat'. Art journals caught my eye, (not sure about the writing bit) and mixed media...it takes me back to my arty painty days at school and if I'm honest (yet again!) is really my first love...I've been watching numerous you tube videos and trying to find some mixed media blogs. I invested some of my eBay pennies in paints, stencils more distress inks etc., bought a Journal which I'm too scared to paint in yet...lol...those plain pages are so intimidating...lol...so I'm just using tags at the moment as I feel if I don't like it then I haven't ruined a whole book!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately there isn't any craft work shops around here...in fact there isn't any decent craft shops anywhere here either ( oh I do miss my little trips to The Craft Barn in Surrey) so anything I need has to be bought online. I've been stalking the Paperartsy blog and invested in some of their stamps my all time fav is JOFY which I have coveted for a while now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my mixed media offering....please be gentle with me...lol...</div>

I'm knitting socks...my major pastime these days..the yarn is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LilyPussCraftDesigns"><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">my own hand dyed</span></a>. The pattern is the most easiest one ever (well my opinion) which I found on Christine's blog <a href="http://winwickmum.blogspot.co.uk/">here</a> and I have also bought her book. Christine arranged a <a href="http://winwickmum.blogspot.co.uk/p/sockalong.html"><span style="color: purple;">'Sockalon</span>'</a>
for sock beginners and she is also arranging a
<span style="color: purple;"> </span><a href="http://winwickmum.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/yarndale-sock-line.html"><span style="color: purple;">Sock Line </span></a>for this years Yarndale Show, that's where my socks above will be heading once they're finished. Please pop over to Christine's blog and have a read.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now books...I like light comtempory books with a bit of humour as I'm a soppy soul and couldn't do with reading thrillers etc as they would give me nightmares..lol... so the book I'm reading on my Kindle is The Little Beach Street Bakery by Jenny Coglan...I've only just started it so I'll have to share the plot next time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if any of you out there are knitters I hope I have inspired you to join in....look forward to seeing 'what's on your needles'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Crafting</div>

Hi Guys...Yes its been a while...family stuff has been going on and so I haven't really had time to post on here. My sister had a 'Spinal Stroke' back in June...gave us all a fright...but she has made a great recovery...although its affected her right leg..she has no feeling and has to now walk with a stick. Unfortunately she cant drive and that is what is troubling her the most, doctors say it could all come right in the end but don't know when that will be....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway... I have been crafting a little now...making cards as I have a craft fair lined up in August but it looks like I might have to cancel as I have no car :-( I broke down last Wednesday on the busy A64 just outside York which is about 30 miles away from home and had to be towed home. It was a nightmare...looks like the gearbox so could be mega bucks or a new car...grrrrr...So I have to wait till next week to see if I can get back on the road again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been doing a bit of knitting too....I am really enjoying making socks...they are a bit tricky but you soon get the hang of them and they knit up quite quick which suits me. I love using the fab variegated sock yarns... the brighter the better...lol...it keeps me interested in what I'm doing..I have a load in my stash but have been looking at hand painted yarns that are really 'off centre' but they can be pricey...so....I've been looking into dyeing my own......lol...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and guess what?...I have found another addiction...lol...well as I'm sort of house bound I have to amuse myself some how...!!!...lol...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made quite a few skeins and have put some on my Etsy shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi...Today I have a card for this weeks <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/">Less is More One Layer challenge</a>...now we know CAS cards have to have a lot of white space but I think I might have gone a little to far with that thought....</div>

Hello...its a lovely sunny day here...and certainly spring like...I have lots of plants to get into the garden this weekend so I hope the weather plays nicely...but its not looking good...we'll see..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little while back I was asked what I would like for my birthday...you know how it is ...you can never think of anything. I thought of something crafty...maybe a tool or something that I wouldn't want to spend on but if its a present...well that's different...lol. Anyway while hopping around blogland I spotted a 'Misti' being used layering up stamps. To be totally honest I didn't pay that much attention to it.. I just thought it seemed a good idea but didn't take in its potential. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well not really knowing what to have for my birthday, on a whim I asked for a <a href="http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product.aspx?id=314929">Misti</a>, I didn't think it would happen as they were all out of stock......but I got one!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I've been under the weather I haven't touched it...until today. I looked at some videos on You Tube to get a grip of it and that's when I realised what a great piece of kit it is...lol. I love the stamps that you stamp on top of each other to create a brush stroke effect but I never had any success with them..my lining up was always out and in the end I gave up and the stamps went into a drawer never to see the light of day again...lol...but look.....</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a SU stamp set - Lotus Blossom...I spent a whole Saturday a while back trying to stamp them together without success and I did this using the 'Misti' in minutes. I love it. So now I wont shy way from buying these kind of stamps (oh no...more stash...lol..) The sentiment is CBS and I finished with a few clear dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wont say that I couldn't live without one now but it will have a place on my desk so I can use all those stamps I've struggled with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Guys....I hope this find you all fine and dandy today....Sorry I haven't been around...I haven't felt well these past few days...I think its the shock of having such a big birthday last week....lol... and little Ollie has had a dodgy eye (all better now)...so we are feeling a bit sorry for ourselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I missed this weeks DT card for ATCAS as I just haven't felt up to crafting...but today I sat at my desk and managed to come up with this....</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather here is a bit murky today and I wanted to make something simple and bright. I've had this sweet CBS set for a little while and somehow it just suited what I wanted to make. The sentiment is CBS too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its funny that its an apple and I'm not feeling too good...its purely by chance I chose to use it...it wasn't till I finished it that I realised....An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away....spooky...lol...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yup I finally finished them and I am so chuffed. I have been wanting to have a go at knitting socks for a long time and I finally found a pattern that I could understand...lol. They were a bit of a fiddle but so worth the effort thanks to a tiny circular knitting needle but you still have to use double ended needles in places but I soon got the hang of it and now I am addicted to lovely colourful stripy yarn that's a available out there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my bestest friend come to stay at the weekend... we got together as she is moving to her house in France soon and we wont be seeing each other every often....I have known her for 40 years...I'm going to miss her so much...anyway...I gave the socks to her and said that when she puts her wellies on to take her dogs out for their walks she will remember me up here in Yorkshire!!!...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made a card from watercolour paper and stamped the sweet Penny Black Pooch in DI - Tea Dye and then swooshed water around to shade him adding more colour here and there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't realise that the CB sentiment stamp was missing a bit of the 'H' but my thinking is it makes it look more 'hazy' for the 'thought'...what do you think? as I have an urge to do it all over again!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well...cant get it right all the time...lol....</div>

I use a SSS Flower stamp...I stamped several times on watercolour paper and then white embossed and coloured with watercolours. I used the matching die to cut them out. I'm so loving this way of colouring and feeds my need of feeling I'm properly painting again...lol...I kept it very clean and simple and finished with a small sentiment and a few sprinkles.</div>

I mixed it up a bit by using a MFT stamp set with the SSS stamps for this card. The inks are Stampin' up and the sentiment is from the MFT stamp set.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You'll be seeing more these stamps I'm sure as I just love the quirkiness of them and they are a dream to use. Also I have just bought some more 'Scribble' flower stamps from this months MFT new release...!!!</div>

Hi Guy's... I have a couple of cards to share with you today...I guess they are quite quick cards to make as they are based on the same kinda design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have an obscene amount of 6x6 DP pads...totally addicted to them when a new one comes out I have to have it. I just received an order of 8 new pads this week and went onto get 5 more ..two of the same one as I loved the designs so....eeek!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I had better try and use some up...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hi Guy's...I not sure that when the ladies over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/">Less is More</a> had in mind when they choose the theme of 'What Makes You Happy'...it certainly got me thinking this morning as I sat in my craft room..<br />
<br />
Well I guess the family and friends stuff is on top of the list...love them all dearly...Not forgetting darling OllieDog and LilyPuss :-)... wouldn't be without them. My little cottage, very happy that I moved here and count my blessings everyday...<br />
<br />
And crafting of course. I just couldn't function if I didn't do (craft) something. I try and 'craft' everyday. I have always been what the family would call 'arty'. I can remember when I was little, always drawing, painting and making things out of nothing much. I have a very strong memory of one Easter, getting an Easter egg that had a bird on the box...don't think it was a chick...but I decided to cut out the bird and make a cage for it from the rest of the box and feeling quite accomplished...much better than just eating the chocolate..well almost. And of course there was Blue Peter..I was always trying to make whatever Valerie Singleton and her predecessors came up with...lol.<br />
<br />
My Aunt taught me Crochet when I was little..but at the time it was a bit old fashioned but...in my twenties there was knitting...oh my word...I always had something on the go...at work at the time nearly everyone in my office 'had' one of my mohair jumpers..lol... I also made a nice chunky jumper for a chap who wanted a 'gardening jumper...lol...and a cricket jumper which turned out a bit big but he loved it!!. I am currently teaching myself to knit socks!! I'll have to show you when I finish.<br />
<br />
So I would think its safe to say that crafting is 'what makes me happy'.<br />
<br />
Here's my card for the <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/">challenge</a>...<br />
