Oliver - Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Good Morning Peeps,

I had a nice day out yesterday with Lorna, we went to the Craft Show at Event City and then into the Trafford Centre for some retail therapy and lunch.

We have a new challenge starting today over on My Time to Craft where for the next two weeks our challenge theme is:

Anything but a Card

 

I have cross-stitched this piece of Aida cotton with this image of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel my title is Oliver as this is just the image of our King Charles Spaniel Oliver who we had for over fourteen years.  I haven't decided what to use this for whether to frame it or get a coaster to put it into, so for the moment it is just a small mat.

Have a good day and enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.

Fairy Houses

Good Morning Peeps,

Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer.  I haven’t been crafting for some weeks since my eye operation, which is healing well and improving, although I still have to put eye drops in 10 times each day.   I am now trying to get some cards done over the next few weeks until I have to have my other eye operated on.

My card today is for our challenge at My Time to Craft where the challenge for the next two weeks is Fantasy.

Good Afternoon from a very snowy Lancashire, it has been snowing all morning and we now have about 8 inches of snow, as we live on a hill and the grit wagon has not been round, the village is very quiet as nothing is moving, apart from one or two people walking.

The sentiment is from Red Hot Bed, added buttons, ribbon and used the Martha Stewart Arch Lattice Border punch.

Papers and topper were free from a magazine I added some Stickles Crystal glitter to the topper and some adhesive stones for the champagne bubbles. The flower is a silver Prima flower with a cream rose in the centre from which I have hung three tiny silver bells, three tiny buttons, a swirl cut from glitter paper and a Happy New Year peel off to finish.
