card for Jolie

This is a card I made for my great neice born last week. There are no girls in the family so I tried to make it as girlie as possible. JMS are her initials. Her parents have called her Jolie.

Cards for Xmas.

The camera angle isn't brilliant but this is a selection of this years cards. My daughter likes unconventionable colours, hence the purple. It's a good one to do as you can alternare the two shades on the next card. The snowman was good to do as he could have any variety of colours and designs for his scarf and hat. The difficulty with the tree die was getting it lined up but I was pleased with the results. The star was a quick and easy card to do just after my op.

Vale Barn Luna.

This young lady arrived last Saturday, weighing in at 10.9 kilo and has a really curly coat. No wonder mum rolled around a great deal the day before. She almost looks as big as the cria that are nearly seven weeks old.

Cria time again

The little light female was born a week ago but the picture shows her at 8 hours old. The Brown chap was born Thursday and again pictures taken at 8 hours old. Peaches is the  name of the light one as she has a soft peach tinge to her coat on close inspection. The brown boy has yet to be named, but as our home bred boys have names related to cars,  it could be Mr Maserati, Maz for short.

Cards for Mary and Lis

Really like this stamp and must play with it a bit more. It was useful for a few quick cards when I was short of time. Unfortunately they always end up taking longer than you think. 

Additions to the menagerie!!

Stopping for a while as now have a sore finger from doing so much.

The herd is growing.

Just like the real thing they all look different.

Alfie the Alpaca

I thought this little fella was so cute. He was on the front cover of the Autumn BAS magazine. I bought the pattern and some cheap wool, not ready to use Alpaca yarn yet as I hadn't  picked up a crochet hook for at least 30years. Tension is a bit iffy in places but delighted with the outcome. I now have several of our alpaca group wanting lessons!!!!
