First of Many Minis, PTC and ATC

 Just a short message today.  My first Clarity

Crafts ATC has been received so I can now post the photo of my little bear hug ATC.  The other card was just to send it in.

This next picture is a montage of mini makes I did 

Bye for today 

A not so funny thing happened today

 Hello again, getting to grips with things still in the craft room.  My fibromyalgia is taking its toll and fatigue is getting to me again.  However it will get done.  

Whilst working in my craft room I suddenly realised I was missing some stamp pads which were in their own tins. I knew I’d ordered them from Clarity Crafts but could I find them could I heckerslike, when I can’t find anything I can’t settle and get very frustrated as fibromyalgia causes memory problems and with Alzheimer’s very prominent in my family I get very scared. Anyway, as a last resort I looked at my clarity crafts orders and yes, I had ordered them but they were a pre order and not yet in the UK so that was 180 Minutes I’ll never see again. 

Now I’m asking St Anthony to help me find both my headphones (pink) and my over ear (pink) earbuds as the borrowers seem to be playing head games with me. But St Anthony usually comes up trumps. 

I managed to finish my ATC (Artist Trading Card) and post to my partner so when she receives it I’ll post a picture. I’ve also joined the PTC (Parchment Trading Card) swap from next month too. 

My son in law has asked for a new pair of knitted socks as well so I’m going to be very busy which is good.  He’s a good lad and I love him to bits. 

Well that’s it for today, I hope you come back and follow me.  Hopefully further posts will be more interesting.  

Crafting IS good for the Soul

 Good afternoon, this is Day 1 of my new Blog and I hope you enjoy it. 

Although it’s all about my crafting it will also tell you a little about what crafting does for me. 

I have been card making since around 2012 and crocheting since lockdown (taught myself via YouTube).  I also like to do crystal art and colouring 

Here is a pen picture about me.

I’m in my 60s, retired with my husband Bill and my dog Oscar.  We live in Bolton and have been married 32 years this year. We have 2 daughters and two granddaughters.

Hope you’ll join me tomorrow where hopefully I can post some photos of some of my makes.
