A Stitch in Time....

Saves Nine....nine what I don't know but I'm sure I'll find out :) .... Of course the other popular phrase during the Wars of 'Make Do And Mend' is also making a come back at this time, but for those of us that craft this little set is in regular use :)

I've been helping my Mum sort through my Great Aunt's linen cupboard recently, as she had to go into a home, and we are finding works dating back in style to the 1920's :)....will there be work for my great nieces to find in years to come????

Well that's my thought of the day and now I'm off to look at some more antiques with Mum.... Thank you for reading and I'll be back soon, Joy x x

Back to School....

is always a dodgy time....a New School...A New Class...A New Uniform....together with New Classrooms and New Teachers....for some Kids it's a very intense time...of course it's also intense for the Mum's too....I've been running round in circles this week as the Boy is starting two seperate courses at the same College...but having been told the timetable in July....which is usually set...it's now got  to change....I'm confused and I don't have to leave the house!!!!

However...I am doing some new cuts, and these cut backbacks would be great on a Scrapbook page for starting school :)...or other activities of course...Sports, Camping, Day Trips...

I have been busy doing other new cuts and keeping busy working, but I have read in a magazine the I should be updating the blog three times a week....together with other social media sites...but I'm lucky if I remember, or get the chance, to up date it once a month!!!....However I am getting better as that is now three months in a row I have posted :)....

So my challenge for this month is to post every week ....here we go ....and thanks for reading, Joy x

Ladies of Fashion....

Would of course need a hat :) ... They are coming back into fashion, much to my Mothers relief :)

This is a set a sent out last month and was going to blog about Ascot and the horse racing, but as ever got inundated .. But in a positive way as a lady asked for a variety of 'Mad Hats' for her wedding invitations ... Based on the Mad Hatters Tea Party :) so I had great fun with feathers, bows, buttons and glitter.... And she sent a lovely message back saying they were fabulous ... ( that's why I spend the time and energy doing this ) ....

So tomorrow after our swimming session I'm back to cutting ... Bit it must be the summer holidays as I'm being asked for Father Christmas cuts now lol

Have a great day... Back soon, Joy xx

Running Round....

Like a headless chicken...but these girls have theirs :) ...and this week they have been very popular so I've been scratching around (get it??) to complete six sets... :)

With all this rain I've also had a lot of orders for the knitting toppers...everyone been wearing woollies I think ... so this morning I popped out to restock on the primary colours, a lovely red and blue, gorgeous green and a bright yellow :)

Now I have to go and sort the back garden and garage out while it's not raining and I have a hand from Dad :)

Back again soon xx

A Long Time Ago....

....yes a very long time ago I posted on a blog ... And now I have a mobile blog so with any luck I can keep you more up to date with what I'm up to... so with twitter and face book I'll be all over the place lol :)....

This photo is the latest batch of spitfires I've put together and as soon as I put them in the bags they sold :). .. Got to make some more now lol ...

Catch up soon :) ...Joy

Pink Owls for a Girl

Another collection

These are those fluffy dice for the front of cars... They originate from the WW1 American pilots who would put real dice in their copit for good luck... Now they are a fashion accessory, but isn't it a history :)
