Blog candy at Normajean's...

This is a photo of the blog candy up for grabs from one of the super blogs that I follow. Pop over here to have a chance of winning. Good luck.

Dumfing ? ......

Yes, dumfing. This is what Twiglet and I call our embellishing :-) The machine dumfs the fabrics together. It sort of goes dumf dumf dumf when the needles push the fabrics together. So we have invented a new word for it :-) verb....to dumf.

Well, now you know that, I can tell you I was dumfing most of yesterday. I 'painted' with threads and fabrics and then added beads to design a few new cards and thought I would share them with you.
I would have blogged them yesterday but the one had to be given to it's new owner before I put them on here. [I gave her the yellow one and she really loved it :-) ]. The lighting was really poor and I'm sorry to say it's not a brilliant photo but I think you can get the idea.

Twiglet also spent her day dumfing, alas not with me because the snow is making travelling difficult, and if you would like to see what she has been busy with then pop over here. I'm really impressed with what she's made and I'm sure you will be too.

For those wanting to know what my embellisher looks like there is a photo of it here.

Introducing little Sadie...

I thought you might all like to share in the excitement. This is a 3D scan of our little Granddaughter Sadie at about 26weeks. We have many pictures of her and also have a 10 minute DVD of her. We can see her sucking her thumb, opening and closing her mouth and she is generally a very active little girl. Isn't modern technology just amazing :-)

Brrrrrr it's a WOYWW...

Ooer we had a lots of snow in the night and this morning this is the view that greeted me. This is looking out through my sewing room window and that is the path my customers have to take to get to me so I doubt I will get many visitors today. It's not a bad thing because I already have sewing jobs to do and should be able to get these out of the way while I'm not being disturbed by customers.





I have a brown waxed coat to shorten and a new zip to put in the blue jacket.




The working trousers that are sitting here on my table are needing new zips and repairs to ripped seams. You can also see the now finished and framed flower picture I have used for my header. I'm rather pleased with it. :-)








This is the view from the back of our house and as you can see from the little footprints it's where our dogs run and play. It's a north facing garden and has been frosted, hard and crisp for what seems like weeks now.
The result of the hard ground is this. Skye is our old lady and she has sore feet from walking on the ice. [She went from having one blue foot to two red feet :-) ] She has needed several visits to the vets to have her feet dressed, injections and antibiotics so no doubt we will need a second mortgage to settle the bill when her treatment is complete :-( I think she rather likes her new socks.

Now pop over to Julia's blog and join in the fun by showing us what you have on your workdesk today.

My Header pic...

For those of you who couldn't see it yesterday and can't see it today even though I have attempted to fix the problem I thought I would put a little copy of it here. If the big header one is still not visible today I will have to call in my computer expert [son].
If it is fixed it is because I have reverted my widget templates to default...what ever that means :-)

New Header picture...

The new header picture is the result of our Fun Day Monday. The photo isn't brilliant and may be edited when I have a nice sunny day to take a better one but I couldn't wait to upload it because it appears the photo I had changed it to for the New Year hadn't been visible on any other computer other than our own....not sure why not so guess it was just a gremlin at work. Hope you like it :-)

Wahoo It's the first Monday of the New Decade...

I'm so glad to be back to a little normality. It's Monday today not just another Saturday. I'm hoping the weather doesn't keep us from enjoying the first of [I hope] many Fun Day Monday's for this year. I have already got a few sewing jobs to do before my sister arrives so best get moving and get them out of the way.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to one and all. I would just like to say a huge Thank You to all that visit my blog. This was my first year of blogging and I have really been given a lot of encouragement. I hope you like my new fresh look and will continue to pop in from time to time with all your lovely comments. I'm not really one for making resolutions but my motto is to make someone smile every day [and I never fail]. I like to make every day count and plan to share some of my fun, smiles and pleasures with you all. Hoping 2010 brings you all everything you wish for yourself.
