I've been sewing......

Jack spotted sitting on the roof of my house....

I think the photos of Jack are probably getting a little same-y now - he is either in the same place on the wire fence or the same place on the wooden fence or down on the ground eating bread!  He seems to have his own little pattern and doesn't often do much else.  So, finding him on the house roof was AMAZING!  I'm easily excited!

My mum made this for the Craft Stamper Challenge....HI MUM!!!! - I know you'll be reading this!

..... and received this in return

and this is the back of the one she received.... HI MUM!!!! - 

Little black creatures seem to be drawn to me at the moment - this one stayed for most of the weekend.....

And she stayed and waited for me by the front door for FOUR hours while I went out for the afternoon!

A mini book for a friend.... photos of her garden - she was delighted!

Flower arranging.......

And here is a card I made recently.....

My parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary was on 31 March - so here is my very subtle diamond anniversary card.

This was the swap I received from Crafts Stamper twinchie swap thanks Wendy - It's FAB!

This is the twinchie I sent in.

fabric postcards - wild about flowers

This is a photograph of a fabric postcard I made a couple of weeks ago. It was made using wild flowers printed on fabric then pieced with narrow strips of commercially printed fabric. The top is bonded to the pelmet stiffener and then onto fabric for the backing. I used a fabric pen to mark the back to look like a postcard. It measures 6 inch x 4 inch.
