Another canvass

For my friend Joan I decided to make her a canvass with a photo of her beautiful Granddaughter Maddie.

Papers I bought 2nd hand at Bramford crop and are DCWV Linen Closet, the poem I found on the Internet and just played around with it a bit and Eric helped me de clutter the photo so I could add the poem to it!  Title was done on the cricut and then had glossy accents added to it.

I like it but don't love it, something is wrong and can't figure out what LOL. I think on reflection it's a bit to busy, hey ho all stuck down now.

Busy Bee

Still no date for op! may have to bite the bullet and ring hospital this week and one pin is getting close to breaking through the skin but I'm pleased I've held out this long as the wrist has become much stronger the last few weeks.

Made two more Christmas presents, first is a 20 x 16 inch clip frame for son all about the walk with the Suffolk Police press officers write up in the middle. Rubbish photo because it has a protective film over it.

Second is a canvass for my dear friend Shellie, photo from their last visit in June, and woohoo they're coming again this weekend.

Then two layouts from Bramford crop, first is of Mum aged sixteen, love this photo and the kit was perfect for it.

Then a rare photo of me and Eric at Mum's 70th birthday BBQ, such a simple layout but I love it.

Alfie Bear has conjunctivitis in his blind eye and has been really out of sorts for the bear, Jim has good and bad days with his one remaining back leg, seems to be the knee not locking out. So of course his Daddy takes him for a ride around the village when he's not up to walking, my hounds are not SPOILT ARE THEY lol
Ruby had a miserable day Friday with the heat and humidity but now it's cooler she back to being full of beans, other than her rapid breathing and being a tad skinny she looks so well,  it's hard to think just how ill she is.

So on to the next Christmas project LOL....

Christmas presents

So what with the op next week and not being able to craft for a few weeks there after I thought I had better crack on and have just made these for a friend, some have photo's of her daughters and hounds and some just buttons. They look quite pretty IRL.

Think I had better get on with some Christmas cards and have a few more card orders that I had better do PDQ LOL...
 
Thank you all for the messages. Dentist wasn't as bad as I had imagined, managed to get myself in a right tizz over it LOL. Feeling a tad sore with wrist and mouth but otherwise I'm okay LOL.

It's started!

OMG can't believe it but I've made a start on Christmas presents !!!!

A  friend of ours became a first time Grandma recently, so I've made her a canvass with a photo of the baby, so that's 1 down and heaps of other prezzies to make LOL.

Came across this last week, it's called faux dichroic glass technique and was totally blown away by it, so despite not having the right paint I had a go any way. Totally rubbish photo's and no where near as lovely as Julie's (and how kind she shared her new found technique) but boy are they so totally gorgeous IRL. I've done 8 different pieces but blogger isn't playing nicely tonight so here's two for now.
Even Mr T said wow how did you make them. High praise !!

Jim had an iffy day Tuesday but seems okay now, of course mega worrying took hold but I guess he's entitled to the same ordinary ailments as the other hounds but of course we put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5 d'oh !!!!

Mr T has just installed my new PC he has built me (early Christmas present) I want to play around with digi stuff but my old PC  just couldn't cope and I fear regular crafting may go out the window if the surgeon decides I need yet another op on my hand when I go up Tuesday, so at least with digi I can still kind of play if the worst happens.

Scrapping with Dawn tomorrow and nothing prepared for that or Bramford crop on Saturday, had better get a shift on LOL...
