Busy As A....

Bee...well it feels like a whole hive full :)

These are my big Bumble Bees...they are great fun and fill a small card with ease.

I've been busy with cutting, but also my Son has had his first lot of exams at school, and my Grandad was diagnosed with a cancerous mass on his colon so he's now in hospital recovering from the surgery, so now it's a matter of visiting :)

My next cutting adventure is going to be the beach huts...in some lovely pastel colours which I have already selected :)

Many thanks for looking and I will be back soon, Joy BB

Still Too Cold...

And Too Wet...to be going to the allotment...but this little shed and the cute flowers are making me look forward to when it will be warm and sunny again so I can get on with the gardening ;)....

Of course, they can be used to accent photos of your own garden, but also wish others a happy birthday, or even a happy retirement ...quiet versatile lol....

Many thanks for looking, will be back soon, Joy BB xx

New Year and New Listings...

I have had a reasonable quiet break, but not been well either, so it made it easier....and yesterday I was asked if I had anything in my 'stash' of dies that could go with the corsets for a 'goth' look birthday card...

so today I got to play with my 'kinky boots' die....aren't they cute... :) ...I've done them in black here and also played with three shades of pink, which, even if I say so myself, look fabulous :)

The customer has opted for a selection in purple, which will look cool with the corset, and they go in the post in the morning...I'll list them properly when we get back from our swimming session at lunch time....

Thanks for looking guys, and Happy New Year....Joy, BB xx

Christmas is coming…

And I'm no were near ready…where does the time go, I mean its not as if its a surprise holiday!!!

Having said that we have spent the last month getting ready for my Sister-in-Law's 50th Birthday in Leicester, taking a cake, favours and table decorations…now I can do the Winter Solstice before my Aunt prepares for her 50th :)

The picture shows a special order from Australia who's daughter loves pigs and wanted to make a Christmas card for her …I love hearing why and what people are using the cuts for …

Thanks for looking, will be back soon, Joy xx

Autumnal Weather...

Has arrived...in fact it's nearly Winter!! The clocks have gone back and the heating has gone on with the wooly jumpers :) .... I've also managed to work out why I couldn't get the photo's to upload from the phone, which is why all my good intentions of regular blogs went out the window again :)... Ready to do better <3

So, although I have jumped a celebration, I wanted to show you the Winter Fairies... They are not a new cut, but the system at eBay didn't like my old photo, so here's the new one....not overly glittery but enough to enhance the card or page with a little sparkle :)

Thank you for popping in... See you soon, Joy xx

Howdy Folks....

 

Oh it's weird being on the PC doing a post again...lol...

these are some dies that are new to my listings...with Dr Who having just done a Cowboy theme and the bread advert has a little cowboy...there seems to be quiet a lot of Yee Hawing going on...:)....These are in Blues, but I've also done Black and White, Browns and then Pinks for the Girls :)....equal opportunities...time for a female Sheriff

 

I've also become slightly addicted to Pinterest...and of course with a phone app it's so easy to sit down with a coffee and an hour has passed...so many great idea's ... but I can't for the life of me, work out how to add a Pin It button to the Blog...of course if I don't toot my own trumpet who is going to do it for me...

 

Still for now I must be off, as there is a little gardening at the allotment to be done in the morning, even if it's raining appartently!!!!...thanks for reading..BB .. Joy x

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
