Things to do on a rainy day ..........
What a wet Sunday we had .... the ground was grateful though!
I pottered about the flat yesterday, reading magazines and looking at some library books I had got out which I love doing as it feels like getting a treat without spending anything. I love books. That's my new thing, I've been borrowing books from the library that are available and then buying the books I can't get. It costs 50p to reserve a book and you can search the catalogue online. I've been looking at Amazon first and then searching for the books on the library catalogue, its good fun and I'm doing my bit to save the library too. It takes me back to when I was a wee girl when my mum used to take 'me and my brother' to the library on a wet afternoon for a break.
I flicked through some old magazines as I like to tear out appealing images and articles for reference purposes. I had the idea to cut out fun images and use them to decorate some greetings cards and this is what I came up with .........
see tutorial for more information, although they are quite straight forward and easy to do.
I also started crocheting some 'Mary Jane slippers'. I had cold feet all day, despite having two pairs of socks on and a pair of slippers!!! It must be bad circulation. There are lots of patterns available on the Internet for these little pretties, some are free, some are available for a small charge. I found free instructions on 'Good Knits' blog. So far I have done half a slipper and have found that I will need to increase the number of rows in the body section to get the correct size. I will keep you posted on the results and if my tootsies warm up as a result.
work in progress to warm tootsies
I hope you all had a good weekend.

Stomach Trouble & Shop Update
Buzz Dog
As Buzz dog was in charge last week, while I was feeling under the weather,
I had a bit of time to do some lovely card making to make me feel brighter.
I have been in a lot of pain and discomfort in my stomach which made me
a 'miserable bee',
not the 'busy bee' I normally like to be.
The doctor thinks I could have a stomach ulcer or gallstones
so I am waiting for an ultrasound scan now.
However, I am pleased to say I think the tablets are helping
which is a great relief and
I am starting to feel a bit better.
I am having to eat lightly, and avoid all things spicy.
But my mind has been conjuring up images of curries,
spicy tomato pasta, chocolate and cream cakes just to taunt me a bit more!
It is always the way, you always want the things you can't have.
So to keep my mind off all edible lovelies,
I have been creating some Greetings Cards for my shops:
6 cards, 3 each of 2 designs
of my favourite 'little teapot' and vintage 'little handbag'
photos with inserts and matching envelopes
perfect for an everyday ocassion card,
notelet, birthdays and thank you notes etc
These little beauties come in their own gift bag, with the cards wrapped in a beautiful ribbon.
A perfect gift for Mother's Day.
My mum loves sending cards with her latest news to her friends.
priced at £10.00
Inspired by Valentine's day, I created these lovely
Heart greetings cards.
3 cards, one of each design
gold heart
white heart
retro pink fabric heart
with inserts and envelopes
These beauties are great for anniversaries, birthdays, thank you notes, valentines, weddings.
£5.00 for 3 cards
I hope you have had a good start to the week
