Hello again to all you WOYWWers – seems ages since I checked in last. I promised to show you the carousel when I finished it so here it is finally – had to remake the base as the darn thing wouldn’t stay upright – the centre “pole” I mean and then the “umbrella” part went […]
Father’s Day Gift Album & card
As promised, here are the other photos of the pages in my Father’s Day gift album. On the front cover, I titled it “Grandpa’s Brag Book”. The papers I used are Stampin’ Up!’s Love Letter DSP (page 89 in the main idea book & catalogue). The letters were die cut from the Timeless Junior Alphabet […]
Happy Father’s Day
To all those men folk out their who are fathers, daddies or grand-daddies a very happy Father’s Day! So here’s my homage to them – having tried my hand finally at making a pillow box owl, I’m on a roll – following on from Mummy owl, here’s the Daddy! He’s a handsome fella – cutting […]

I don’t think there’s any danger of that because his work doesn’t allow it as it’s an infringement on company policy so he won’t be able to anyway. {If you want a […]

Here is the new improved base which is much sturdier. I recycled the doily, re-enforced the base of the pole (lollipop sticks) […]
Wedding Sweet
Just a very quick card to share with you on Sunday – I’ve only just acquired this stamp set – I had resisted it for so long, but after much proscratinating decided it was a set that could be used for other things besides a wedding. This could be a congratulatory card for an anniversary. […]
Sew Lovely, Occasional Greetings
Good morning everyone, or should I say G’Day depending on which part of the world you’re from and when you visit! 😉 I thought this would be a quick card – but it took me longer than I expected. I dug out my patchwork quilt book and copied the pattern to make this background which […]
