Sorry

I hate to look rude and ungrateful but at the moment I am using a computer that takes an hour to do the simpliest thing and I've lost so much stuff lot including e-mail addresses .... so can I say Paula ... thank you so much for your parcel ... I haven't opened it, its under the tree and I am so sorry I haven't been able to e-mail you personally as yours is one of the addresses I have lost.

And another Thank You to Donna (again another address lost) for your card and beautiful christmas beading .... I just love them xxxx

What with my computer and dodgy camera I am blogging on a wing and a prayer .... but fingers crossed I will be able to show you some of the lovely cards I have recieved in the next day or so.

It’s Christmas ….. And I’m In A Frivolous Frame Of Mind …..

……at Chateau Fiddle Fart it’s a family tradition that we have new pyjamas to wear on Christmas Eve ….

…. well yesterday I popped into town to get mine …. (Primark £7)

I’m a bit gutted that me and my sister missed out on the reindeer jumper (also from Primark) …. however I think I have located a very similar pattern …. so guess what I’m planning on knitting sometime next year!!!

Christmas Teabag Card

Not a new idea, but this is the first time I have made my own Christmas “cup of tea” cards.

I’ve made the card using my Sizzix Gift Card Holder die and a strong double sided paper I found in Paperchase a couple of years ago. 

I think double sided paper is perfect for this idea. I’ve mat and layered the verse on silver and the patterned side of the paper.

And then just added a bit of faux stitching.

I couldn’t decide whether to embellish the front of the card, and in the end decided not, the pattern was enough,  less is more!
