So sorry I have been MIA yet again!
Sadly the day after my last post! my sister was taken into hospital yet again.
Very sadly she passed away on Tues 19th June, I spent every day and many nights sleeping at her bedside. She was never alone and I am grateful of that. She was cared for amazingly well by the hospital.
Diabetes has now claimed two of my sisters and a young niece! what a cruel disease it is!!!
As Pats next of kin I am busy with arrangements but I will be back in Blogland ASAP.
Sorry for my absence yet again
Take care everyone and give your loved ones an extra hug today. xxx Mau

My favourite sausage :-)
I love sausages! well a certain type that is....
Hope everyone is well and enjoying some better weather here in the UK. We have had quite a few lovely days of Sunshine here in the north east although we could do with it being a tad warmer. However we have had some lovely park days with Alfie the sausage dog, he has loved it!
Well here is my entry into Allsorts challenge ..All about Pets I just had to play along with this challenge. As usual I am playing catch up with myself as the challenge ends tomorrow lunchtime.
The Die is a Marianne Die which I cut 3 times and layered it, you can't see it but it sits on the card beautifully and his paws I cut from some tan coloured textured card I had.
The card is going to Alfie's veterinary nurse as she looked after him last week... (shhhh! he lost his Crown jewels) we are whispering as he is looking a little sad! We didn't think he would notice as He is Tooooo long to see his b ** ha ha ...poor sausage!
Catch up with you all soon xxxxxx

All Squared up!
Hello again everyone,
Well what a dreadful wet dark day here on the coast, you would think it was late evening!
However a perfect day for crafting...coffee, and heating on full :-)
I have popped on to post a card for the
Allsorts Challenge be there or be square ... well I will never have it said I am square! lol
the challenge was obviously to use squares and not other shapes such as oval, round etc. so here is my take on it.
you still have a couple of days to join in so pop over and take part.
tried to improve the lighting but not much difference really!
sorry the pictures are not wonderful but its so dark here.
Catch you all soon xxxx

Birthday Wishes
Good Afternoon everybody,
Just a quick post today! but I wanted to join in the Birthday challenge over at City Crafter Challenge Blog
They are celebrating 8yrs this month... Wow!!! Happy Birthday girls x
Well the inspiration to case was this beautiful card by
SAMRA LESHINSKI
I decided to use the blue and the circle as I had been experimenting with making my own Hydrangea, I have plans to make some in different colours :-) as making flowers is a good relaxing pastime whilst watching TV.
Anyway back to my card, I also thought I would make another card from the same Die I used last time...seems it was laid about on my work table.
I want to make a few adjustments to this shape next time I use it, but overall I like it.
Thanks for calling by, see you soon xx

Postman brought me flowers!
Evening Everyone,
Hope you have all kept warm and dry over the last few days! I think April showers should be renamed April downpours!!!
poor Alfie hates the rain so his park runs have been a total washout! He can't wait to get home and into his favourite spot....and I can't tell you how hot that Radiator is!!! I try to remember to remove his collar as it gets so hot! but he is up there in a flash the second we get through the door.
Well onto My latest make, The postman brought me 2 boxes of Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts last week, I ordered a load myself and then 3days later hubby asked if I had got all the ones I wanted! silly question! I told him no as I had spent too much already. Well how pleased was I when he said send for the rest and I will treat you for Easter :-)
I had to find time to craft and use some of them, so here is one of the cards ...
Sorry about the long post, catch you soon xxx
