Rain stopped play ....

 What a bit of a wash out yesterday - no jubilee picnic lunch, but the friends Jubilee party tonight is still on! Anyway it was a good excuse to sit a the table in the lounge, crafting away with one eye on the Pageant.  

 I did feel sorry for all those people standing for hours in the cold wind and rain by the Thames and hope they got home soon to warm up!

An excuse to

I'm feeling quite pleased as I have sold a few cards through eBay. Not for much, but enough to justify treating myself to a a new swirly die from Marianne Creatables that I have been hankering after for a while!

Now I have a very long weekend to have a play with it, was hoping to go in a Jubilee picnic, but the weather is not looking good at the moment.

One of my cards that I sold!

Still More Patriotic Cards!

Really getting in the Jubilee mood now with these red,white and blue cards. They are  made using the fab Portobello Road papers and stamps with a bit of bunting added.

The Union Jack ribbon I found at the great Halfpenny Home haberdashery which is just down the road in Needham Market - I can recommend a root around in the shop which is a treasure trove of buttons, ribbons and yarns!

Feeling Patriotic

Papermania led the way with their Portobello Road range and now there are loads of lovely patriotic papers around to help celebrate the Golden Jubilee, Olympics or just being British!


I just had to buy Crafts Beautiful Mag  today because of the Jubilee stamp, yummy papers with bunting and street party ideas - and I'm not even going to a street party!!
