Hi, Welcome To My Blog

I love various different types of crafts and have had a dabble at most over the years, some with greater success than others. I believe that apart from loving and giving, being creative is the next most important thing to do. There is something about being creative that taps into something deep within us that makes us feel good with the world. But then we were made in the image of God, God The Creator... so I guess being creative will be second nature to us if we allow. The problem is that many people will not have a go because they make the mistake of measuring themselves against others... and that is just not a good thing to do. I create because I like to create, not because I have to impress anyone else or be better than anyone else. I created this blog with a lot of help from my son-in-law, as a personal scrap book that I am happy to share with others if they wish to take a look.... Enjoy <><

Anyone for a Cuppa?

This is a genuine re-cycled birthday card.

I had the idea of wanting to create a birthday card for Chris on the theme of cups and saucers. I went online to see what I could find for inspiration.
Well I came across a cup and saucer quite similar to this and decided to have a go.

I used a birthday card that someone had made for me. I cut out the shapes for the cup, edged it in blanket stitch and then sewed them together, and repeated this process for the base of the cup and the saucer.

Apart from the white card of the saucer, everything else came from the card that Val had made and sent me.  I did not make the flower, Val did. The doily in the saucer was also on the original card.  Cheers!
