Morning just..... & new DT Spot

Good Morning,

I've had an eventful few days with hubby scaring me, had to take him to docs yesterday for an ECG and some bloodwork this morning, he is banned from playing squash and badminton until the results come back!

I have completed my housework this morning and have cleaned my craftroom so now for an afternoon playing but have no idea where to start.....

I do have some fab news too I have agreed to join the ladies over at That Crafty Place, I will be creating crafty makes with wool, hehe!

Here's the link to the Challenge Blog

Feline Fables

Afternoon, well I finally managed to get in my craftroom today and have a play.... I have been trying to make something all week but now I have finally done it!

I have used a cute digi from Di's Digi Downloads called feline fables 

I wanted something spring like and of course

 I love cats so this digi was just what I needed! 

I have quickly coloured with promarkers, 

still need a few sessions of taking my time and practise!

Some digi scrap papers and some of my handmade flowers.

Hope you like it!

What have I missed and what do I need.....

Evening, Hope you all had a good weekend, I have a busy morning planned tomorrow but I am hoping to shut myself in my little craft room tomorrow afternoon and get creating, well trying...

So I have had a little look around your blogs, haven't left any comments in but will do this week!

So my question is.....

What's in fashion?

What's new?

Any new techniques?

What's a must have?

What dig's/stamps do I need?

Anyone who can point me in the right direction will be appreciated!

Happy crafting all and I will be back tomorrow with a card I promise...

I'm alive.......

Hello, missed me lol......

Well where do I start, long time missing....

I have been ill, away in the country on short breaks and pc has been broke so haven't been online apart from flicking in and out on phone, but now I have a nice new keyboard and mouse.

My hands are still not steady enough to make cards and my voice is coming and going as it wishes which is driving me mad, but I have been doing some crochet and making some novelty hats and little bits here and there so here are a few pics of what I have been up to the last few weeks.....

I made some of this novelty hats for my mums local duck race together with some mini owls they went down a storm.....
