I think we all deserve a laugh!

Dawn is having a wee challenge on her blog - with a difference! "All you have to do is take a photo of your crafting space/room and if you're in the photo even better (and if you have any furry crafting buddies I would love to see them too~!!!" I couldn't be in it as I was taking the photo, so Poppy kindly took my place! As you can see, I have the worst craft space ever (yes, this is my spare room floor!) and should win on pity alone!! We were hoping to move this year but the flippin' 'credit crunch' put paid to that and our house wouldn't sell so we're stuck! I say 'we' as Jamie is always asking me to put it away but I can't possibly!! Bless him!

Also, do you have snow where you are? I have never seen snow like this in October, especially in the south! Here's the views from my house, it's so pretty!


One more thing, I've just finished a cross stitch I started a couple of months ago and I thought I'd show you! I got it off Ebay and I think it applies to lots of us!

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my waffle!

Cute Card Thursday #22!

OK, so this isn't my usual style of card, but it's my mums birthday today and my dad has got her tickets for the Horse of the Year Show and therefore wanted a card with a horse theme. After scratching my head for a bit I decided the only way I could get a horse on there was to make a cross stitch one! An then a ....peel off! Ha ha! Don't judge me! Then I realised it fitted in to the Cute Card Thursday's challenge! "This week the theme is 'The two of us' We would like you to use two of something on your card, it could be 2 people, 2 animals or 1 of each" Thanks for looking!

Supplies-
Cross stitch pattern from the internet
Ribbon- Poppicrafts
Peel Off and gems form stash
Paper- Local craft shop (again! are you getting bored of it yet?!)

Papertake: Frame card tutorial

The instuctions for this tutorial were fantastic! I've decided to frame a little Suzy's Zoo cross stitch picture as I havn't used any on a card for ages. I wanted to keep it simple so I just added a little ric-rac, brads and a mag freebie sentiment. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! xx
