catchin up

Hello there my few followers who I have sadly neglected.
Apart from the crafting i have done at our local hospice with my daughter I don't seem to have had much time to do card making, I have however been busy knitting a shawl for my Daughter in four ply which I am doing okay with. I just have two and a half lace borders to do which I have to really concentrate on or I have to unpick & start again which has happened more than a few times. When i get it finished I will post it here. I still have my shawl from my first baby which was 32 years ago, quite scary when you think like that. My nan knitted my shawl for me & I have knitted a shawl for each of my children when they have had their first baby. People don't seem to do as much knitting as they used to.
Well it's getting late & as I am taking care of my neighbours mum for part of the day I need to get some beauty sleep.

Freddie decided that seeing as he is off school after having his tonsils out he would make a card for his Mummy for Mothers day.
I love the hand drawn flowers & he did have hand made flowers but he decided to take them off as they wouldn't fit in the envelope, he though that was hand made from pretty wrapping paper.
Children know what they want.
I am soooooooooooooooo lucky as my friend stuart is over from Texas & he went shopping for me & I have at least 7 scapbook pads, 4 martha stuart border punches, 7 friskars templates & 2 corner punches. Nettie says she's jealous but she will be round to share them with me.
well must go TTFN
