About Me

My photo
Alicante, Spain
Hi. I live in Spain with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum. Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him. I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have 3 daughters Aurora, born March 2015 and Arabella, born August 2017 and Arianna born 2019. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. I love reading them all. xxxx

Watercolour card and Happy Birthdays

Good Morning All

Hope you all had a good weekend.
Nothing new here really but I believe you in the UK are all hearing horror stories about us in Spain with the virus.
I,m not one to spout off about politics but this really annoys me, Boris enforcing 14 day quarantine for people travelling back from Spain.
We have our face mask wearing enforced, unlike UK.
We have nowhere near as many cases as UK.
I could go on for ages but I wont.

Firstly let me wish my younger son a Big Happy Birthday.
And it is Hollies on Friday.
Missing these guys so much and goodness knows when I will see them again




****************************
Back to crafting 
Another water colour card today.
Very quick and easy and fairly CAS

Very hot here so taking alot of my crafting into the living room where it is cooler as we have a ceiling fan in there and when the wind drops, we put the AC on, sod the leccy bill, better to be comfortable!!!
Making lots of embellishments which will be shown at a later date.

Keep well all

Make your own Flowers for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Helene is hosting Allsorts Challenge and her theme is 
Make Your Own Flowers.
I have made two creations for this one.
I started a one stroke painting class at my local craft shop back in October.
This was made in the 1st class as the teacher always like to have  us make something to take home.
I have always admired this style of painting so when the craft shop announced the classes I signed up straight away.
The teacher was taught by Donna Dewbury in USA and she makes it look very easy, haha.

This is one of my first practice sheets

So I was quite happy with how this turned out.
************
My second one is some more tags.
I cut some Poinsettias from coloured parchment and then just added bits from my Christmas box.
I used some lovely fluffy thick wool for ties.



Prize from  Buddly Crafts .
