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 <><

Tea Cup and Saucer Card

I fancied having a go making a card using my sewing machine.

I found a shape of a cup and saucer and cut the shape out of some pretty paper.

However it wasn't as easy as that because there was no definition, so I cut an oval out in green to place at the top of the card so that it looked like the inside of the cup, and out of the same paper cut a strange shape to differentiate the cup from the saucer.

I then had great fun sewing all the pieces together. Mind you, turning the corners of the squares proved a challenge and I wish I could say I had done it perfectly!!!

I liked the finish card and chose to send it to Dorothy for her birthday as she drinks tea and I think she may just like this card... well I hope so.
