Atishooooo!! ;-) (And some awards)

The lack of variety on my blog lately... (i.e. it's been crafting, crafting and yet more crafting...) is due to the fact that during the last 6 weeks I have been nowhere , as such.

I've been outside just three times! ;-(

Once to visit my mum in hospital, once on a flying visit to get food and finally, to Nich's graduation.

The flu virus really knocked me for six..and yesterday I finally succumbed and managed to get some antibiotics to knock off a post flu infection. I am rarely ill and have always absolutely loathed putting medicines inside my body. But needs must. I've never known anything like this. It's worn me out good 'n proper!! ;-)

So, I've had to be content with staying in, keeping warm, drinking loads of fluids and crafting..but even that's been very slow...for me.

Yesterday, whilst the cat was away (!) I made these little envelopes ...using K&Co Amy Butler Lotus designs. I love scrapbooking papers as much as I do fabric , especially quality papers like these.

The reason that I made these?

I found some gorgeous hankies, recently...

Aren't they lovely?

Nice and bright..just what I like!!

Some for the fair..some for my shop!
