HAVE A DELIGHTFUL CHRISTMAS EVERYONE, AND AN AMAZING 2020...

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post; that's Pearl, Culliesocks Kate, Pat, Craftychris, scrAPamondo, Sandma, Flo, pearshapedcrafting Chris, and Gerrina, and to everyone who is reading this blog, we would like to wish you all a very delightful Christmas, and an amazing and joyful 2020!

Here are a few bits and bobs, just photographed, to assist in the Merry Christmas wishes:

One of my most favourite festive decorations is this fabulous reindeer, who sits in pride of place on my mantelpiece every year. His name is 'Dave', and one of my crafty 'students' Helen has a bit of a sewing session every Christmas and one year she made Dave for me, and here he is...

Here is another beauty again made by Helen...
Santa is his name...

I have several more including 'Celeste' the angel, a snowman in a flowerpot, a Rudolph (this year's make), and a robin amongst others. Love them all Helen x

I have added this wreath made for the last Hochy shows to the centre of the mantelpiece, with its dingly dangly bells..

Here is a star card full of Joy...

And to finish I have a beautiful card sent to us by a customer - Janet, and I though it was so pretty I had to share it with you..

So have a very Merry Christmas one and all.
Back soon,
Jean x

THANK YOU AND MORE....

Thank you all of you who so kindly leave comments at the end of my blog posts, we really appreciate you taking the time to do this, and I absolutely agree we do have the best teamies in the land, probably in the known universe and well beyond. Thank you best teamies, you are amazing!! Malcolm, Monty and I are having a few days away again very soon, so this is a fairly brief post from me (still lots to do and get on top of), but with some colourful and creative artwork to show. A beautiful make by Isabelle.... A bright and cheery make by Sylvie.... I think the following gentle beauty is by Flo.... And lastly 2 makes by yours truly. Firstly a collage made for our last Hochanda shows.... Plus a card - put your sunglasses on - it's bright, but I do rather like this one all the same!.. Thanks for reading, Back soon, Jean x

JUST SHARING.....

Sharing some lovely ideas by the teamies tonight.... Gorgeous Happy Dog looking over a wall by Dora (don't you just love him?!)... Plus two cool cards full of balloons , by Sam, the Scottish Crafter... Then some fabby dabby makes by Sandra... More lovely balloons - just fantastic!.... Plus one using the Chunky Train Tag ... ...And that lovely Ship in full sail .... Sandra also made this fabulous card using CI-517 , to help promote our stamp designs on the super website of 'Ink Art Designs', owned by the lovely Dot Leathbridge. What a beauty! Finally this evening I have a lovely journal page by Chris - using the Tea at Three stamp, CI-389 - an old favourite of many of you I think, plus one of our butterfly dies and a sheet of our background paper. All looks so stunning against the black background!... All full of extreme gorgeousness! Thank you one and all. So very delightful. Back soon, Jean x

THANKS AND SOME PICCIES...

Thanks for the comments on my last blog post. Must take a photo of my old Singer Sewing Machine and pop it on here as suggested, Also hope you get a bit more free time soon Coco, my friend! I thought I would share a few of my recent journal pages on here, plus a lovely journal page from Daniele. This is how it began for Daniele... And this is how it ended up... What a delight! Here are my four pages, again featuring the latest stamps by the artist Sharron Bates.... I also made a little 'China Cupboard' using a little wooden tray (which had previously held craft embellishments), with one of Sharron's designs... I demoed the process Live on our Facebook page. In today's Live Demo I made this little card with a couple of our older stamps, a stencil and Distress Oxides.... Thanks for watching, and following, Back soon, Jean x
