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!

  5. Hi Sal,
    Thanks very much for the award, great stuff! We do have similar tastes, I love that Amy Butler paper and have a few bits, of course! Wonder what would happen if we went shopping together, we'd need a personal bellboy to carry everything! Love your idea to put the hankies in the little envelopes, very gorgeous colours all together.
    Hope you manage to knock your illness on the head very soon.
