A special wish

Lots of yummy fun for this challenge at The Lollipop Ladies .

Challenge 46 - Turkish Delight and Squares . If it's not coated in chocolate (my favourite ) then it's usually dusted with icing sugar and does come in lots of colours ,not just pink .

The poppy stamp is from Abi's Crafts and I've double stamped with white and pink to represent the Turkish Delight and the icing sugar,the sticker sentiment was a prize win as was the flower.

Who lives at the bottom of my garden ?

Hello ,Hello ,can you see me down here in the grass. At the moment I'm very small but one day I will be big . My fungi friends are with me making sure I'm not lonely. Who will I look like when I grow up ?

Could it be me ? The spots look the same.

My spots are the wrong shape .

I'm tall and flat.

Just a bit of fungi fun in my garden.

Just Purr- fect

This is one of those projects I really enjoyed doing. I made one of these a few years ago and added a tiny mouse sitting next to the cat. I changed the word LOVE to FRIEND and gave it to a lovely friend who was going back to live in Florida.

It was very easy to do and I can see myself making another one and perhaps changing the wording. All the stitches were very simple but I think very effective .

Thinking of You

Stamps I used ,sorry I don't know where they came from. I also used a flower stamp for the butterfly paper. It's all very well making a tag but it doesn't stand up for the photo .I improvised with a tiny hairbrush and cut away some of the bristles leaving just enough to hold my tag.

Africa is calling

When I decided to knit and sew a few things I really wanted them to go overseas,perhaps Africa or another poor country. I e-mailed a few very well known organisations and asked if they would like the finished items to send abroad - a resounding NO . It would seem cash is the only donation they are interested in having . Care for Africa do however need knitted and sewn items which go over in a large container periodically . If anyone would like to participate I am happy for you to post them direct to me and I will pass them on or you can send direct to CFA.

Birthday wishes

Birthday wishes for my friend Jeanne over in South Australia .The main pic is from Graphic45,the floral paper is from a mini stack which has no name. The sentiment is a new stamp I just bought from Kaisercraft.
