Hi everyone,

I hope you had a lovely Easter and didn't indulge in too much Chocolate.

I've been really busy with lots of things.

I spent a few days in An Grianan - the ICA college near Drogheda, Co. Louth.

It was handcraft week and lots of crafting going on.

I made my first soft toy, a clown, here he is.......

I'm really delighted with him.

I also did some beaded jewellery, learned to do hairpin crochet by observing someone doing it in the evening and crocheted a  butterfly. All meals handed to you and it was a really warm week so we all sat outdoors chatting when we could. 

I would encourage everyone to go there.

Kay

Easter Greetings

Hi Everyone,
How time is moving on.
Wishing everyone a Wonderful Easter Weekend.

Morning Sunshine

Hi, We had a little sunshine at 6.30 this morning,

and I was inspired to take some photos.

It was a little chilly tho'.

This is the view from my kitchen.

 I can see all the way to the Forth mountain in Wexford.

The mist is on the river Nore as it winds it way down the valley.

The view as I see it from my kitchen window - I must take down the shamrocks :-)

I'm blessed to live in such a beautiful place.

Kay.

More Cards

Hi Again, 
I'm on a roll this weekend.
 Some friends of mine said that they have lost their Mojo..... they have all come to my house because I have so many ideas that I'd need three pairs of hands and nothing else to do!!
Here are some cards that I have made for the Country Market in New Ross.
You can find them on Facebook HERE.
I had a feel for browns this morning.

Mothers Day Cards

Here are a couple of Mothers Day cards I made.
I had others but they I forgot to take a photo of them before they sold. 

Happy Mothers Day.

Happy St Patrick's Day to all my Family and Friends :-)

Name Tag Challenge

Hi,
Yesterday at Yvonne's Kilkenny Class the challenge was to make a free standing name tag.
I only found out last Wed night so on friday night I looked for inspiration in the well organised space (I don't think so) that I call the craft area and I found a few bits that I had made previously and they all went together extremely well.
Here is what I made....

I made the frame from paper and the Flower is from Jak Heath.

I hand drew my name and coloured it in with promarkers.

I put it all on an easel card.

I hope you like it.

A new Start.

Hi everyone ,
I haven't blogged for a while, so I'm going to start afresh.
I went to Yvonnes workshop in Kilkenny yesterday and made the most beautiful cards.
She surpassed herself. You can find her HERE.
These are the cards we made....

Flower Fairy Birthday Card

 I'm here on my own today and the peace and quiet is wonderful. When I'm finished on the computer I'm off to make a few more cards. Meanwhile here is one for the challenge at Charisma Cardz called 'Things with wings'. It is only the second challenge that I have entered. It's all about the fun of creating.

The image is from Flower Fairies.

The dried lavender is from woods near where I  live.

The bottom corner of the cream was cut with a Nellie Snellen die, 

and also the butterfly.
