I have been busy , busy ,busy making cards as they had sold the one's I took down last week straight away. I was all set to show you them, but hey ho silly me they are on my phone. I don't know how to load them from that. Something else I am going to have to learn, mind you it's not the learning part , it's keeping it in my brain that's the hardest.<br />
I hope you are having a good weekend. Love and hugs xxChrisBChristine B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12276869615965241971noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2824719276347819534.post-34696676722445587572015-01-18T07:34:00.002-08:002015-01-18T07:34:26.025-08:00Hi everyone, hope your enjoying your weekend.<br />
I have had a busy one again with Maddison being around. We baked some brown bread plait, she did a really good job of mixing the dough and kneading it. After it had rested I showed her how to cut it into roll size and then how to plait one and then she did the rest. After that we made 10 Banana Muffins with chocolate and sultana's in and some mixed spice. Naughty but really scrummy!!!!!!!<br />
After eating a cheese plait and a banana muffin for her lunch, daddy took her out for a walk down to Middlebrook.<br />
I had a quick tidy up and then cut some pieces of card and embossed and die cut them. I have a commission for a 40th Birthday card.<br />
<br />
I'm just in the middle of a clean and tidy now Maddison has gone home. Thought I would have a quick 30 mins and show you some more cards that I made this week.<br />

These last three are made some free craftwork card paper that I got with a magazine a couple of weeks ago. I am only purchasing a magazine when there is a really good free gift and I'm desperate for something to read.</div>

I hope you haven't got all this dreadful snow and ice that I have here. I can't go out as I'm frightened of falling.</div>

Tomorrow my hairdresser is coming to cut my hair. But wednesday I have an appointment at the hospital with the oncologist at 10am so I hope all this ice as gone by then or I will be struggling to walk.</div>

Well off to finish the dreaded housework now. See you all soon I hope. Thanks for dropping by, love and hugs to you all. xxxChrisB</div>

Hi everyone , I've something to post at long last, my first card for this year. I was asked by a lady that I have only seen once to make a card for her new Grandson. I got talking to her in the knitting and craft shop and she was looking at ribbons at the same time as myself . She's not seen any of my cards so I hoping she likes what I have made. She wanted something special and Vintage in red , white and navy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First of all I decided to make an easel card which is 7 x 7. For the front of the card I decided to put words on the front in a heart. I used a tattered lace embossing folder for the background. The images are all cut from some fabric that I have had for about 10 to 15 years. For my stopper I cut a pram and made it look like a silvercross pram by cutting it out in three colours and paper piecing it.<br />
<br />

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year, I had a lovely time,my daughter Helen came down from Scotland for 3 days as she was on call the rest of the time. We also had my son and his girlfriend and of course Maddison on Christmas day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't manage to get on before christmas as I was ill for about 3 weeks with a really bad cough, but luckily had recovered in time for the festivities. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My washer broke just before the holidays so had no washer for 3 weeks. The insurance company sent someone to fix it last Friday. I have just about got straight now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My back as been worse this last week, just hoping that I can spend more time with Maddison playing and making memories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a lovely time at week end. She wanted a den, So I built one from one side of my dining room to the other, using an old maiden and two big sheets and my dining room table and a chair. We spent about 3 hours playing with her dolls and me doing all the voices. The best of it was she was sat in the chair undercover in comfort, the dolls were in the middle under the maiden and Nanna was crawling about under the table all the time. We had a picnic and played school with the dolls , all in their new school uniforms that I had made and sent to Father Christmas. Lee was working all night so Hubby gave her a bath. He fills the bath about 10" high with bubbles and she plays at volcanoes, or castles or space planets then as a lovely time popping all the bubbles over my tiles on the wall and Grandad as well. After I had dryed her hair and she had got her pj's on we watched the voice. Then I spent the next half hour reading her a story while she was painting on the desk in the bedroom., She went out like a light and had a lie in on Sunday until 9am. She wasn't the only one. I didn't wake up until 10 o'clock , Maddie had finished her breakfast and was painting again before I was up. She just had time to play in the den before she had to go home. A lovely time was had by all of us.</div>

I hope everyone is well and busy with there crafting.<br />
<br />
I had some bad news when I last went to see the oncologist at the end of October. My cancer has spread up my spine and into my ribs. I was feeling so much better after losing 4 stone and very positive so you can imagine I was knocked for six. It has taken me along time to try and get stronger and try and enjoy every day again.<br />
I have tried to bury myself in crafting and carry on making my cards for cancer. I have made quite a lot and they have been selling slowly so I am making Christmas cards at the moment. I just haven't had the time to photograph then all and put on here.<br />
<br />
We are decorating my bedroom at the minute so it's utter chaos with stuff everywhere. I have been trying to sort stuff out and have a big clear out. If your like me your a hoarder I find it very hard to get rid of stuff. I have so much craft stuff and I haven't started on that stuff yet. I don't know what to do with it all, I don't want to leave it all for my other half to have to sort it.<br />
<br />
Well must get on and get dressed I am going out today and have alot of jobs to do as well.<br />
Will try to be back soon with some pictures. Love and hugsto you all and thanks for dropping by.<br />

I have lost 3 and a half stone since April and I have been getting out and about alot better with the help of my shoes that were made special. They have made me a second pair , I just have to wear them in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to visit my daughter next week. I haven't seen her since she came home at Christmas. I am really looking forward to it. I'm a little bit worried as I have to catch 3 trains and haven't really been on many trains since |I was a little girl. Just hoping I get get from 1 platform to another quickly enough as I don't walk very quickly.</div>

This last week I had a Ct scan to see how my cancer in my spine is. I'm praying that the Ketogenic diet as stopped it progressing further. From going on the diet in April to the end of August I had not taken one painkiller and felt much healthier. But since then I have been having some twinges and to day it is very painfull so I know it is still there. I don't think I will get to know the results until I go back at the end of October to see my Oncologist. I am carrying on with the diet until at least then. </div>

Well I think this is all I have time for now. Hope you are all keeping well and still enjoying your crafting. Take care. Love and hugs xx ChrisB</div>

I've been like that for about 10 years. It's been a real treat to have all the sunshine and have sat out even in the evening which is very rare for me. I hope you all have enjoyed it as much as me. Mind you even I was heard to utter on a few days that I was too hot.<br />
My grandaughter was doing abit of colouring the other week and made two cards one for her teacher and one for her daddy's girlfriend. She's only interested in colouring when she can use my Promarkers. She loves using lots of bright colours as you will see. She cut the paper and stuck them on and the die cuts. She says she's not interested in crafting, but I think she made a good job of them myself, mind you I'm biased.The picture of Maddison was taken at the church hall bingo , just had to have one of her with her missing teeth. She had Super Bear for the weekend from school. We had to take pictures of his adventure with her and she had to write a piece about it for school. She won a large box of M&S chocolate biscuits at the bingo so came home very happy.<br />

On Monday I took my friend Sylvia's Birthday card and present down that I had just managed to finish in time. For her present I used a Debbie Moore cd and for her card I used a Crafters companion card creator as well as some Hunkadory decoupage. She is very into flowers, I am pleased to say she was thrilled with both of them. We sat and had a good old chin wag while I tried to sort some crochet out.<br />

It was warm here yesterday and I did loads of washing, as well as walking to Tescoes for some shopping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I had another trip to Tescoes, I can only carry shopping in one hand as I use my stick and have to do several trips. Mind you I didn't mind this morning as the weather was beautiful. Managed to get some more washing done and ironed this afternoon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have almost finished another card for my son's girlfriend , her birthday is on Sunday. I just have to stamp a birthday verse and die cut it then it is finished. I will post a picture at the weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be tidying up tomorrow before Maddison comes for her weekend stay. She came for tea yesterday and we had taken her down to the tennis court for a knockabout after tea before she had to go home back to her Mums. She got really upset and cryed when we said it was time to go. We don't get much time to take her anywhere as her Daddy takes her out every Saturday and then she goes home again before Sunday lunch time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bet she will want us to play football again tomorrow , so I'd better get to bed and rest my weary sore feet.</div>

I have had a rest from blogging for nearly a month, it's gone so fast. I've been busy as I have only 2 lbs to lose and I have lost 3 stone. I have had to alter quite a lot of my clothes, some of my trousers twice, now I'm finding my T shirts are too big so am starting to alter those. I've also got to alter my jumpers and cardigans, with having to have finished work through my cancer needs must. I've also been to the charity shops and managed to pick up some good bargains.<br />
<div>
I've also been busy in the garden watering my pots and hanging baskets everyday and dead heading.. They have been looking lovely. Not to mention washing everything in sight while the weather as been lovely.</div>
<div>
I have been crafting in between my jobs. I am knitting a cardigan using 7 strands of fine industrial yarn for myself, embroidering a table cloth and yesterday I started crocheting a throw for my couch. I've not done crochet for about 30 years, then I only did a little bit, I can't follow a pattern.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This week I have cleaned my carpets in my lounge and dining room, with my son being asleep during the day, they badly needed it , so while he's not been here I got stuck in.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've also started my Christmas cards, I have been stamping and colouring with my promarkers. I have used a set of Molly Bloom stamps that I had bought and never used. I thought I had better get them inked up and used. I really enjoyed making everyone different. They are all been layered , some have die cuts which have been embossed, also some have aperatures. I have also been doing alot of die cutting. other things I have used are glitter and glossy accents and pearls. All the cards are flat so it won't cost too much for posting them. So far I have finished 17 and got some more part finished. The last 3 I am posting are white on white cards.<br />

I'm going to school tomorrow to pick Maddison up with her Daddy as it's the Spring fair. I'll give her some money so she can buy something. She usually wants some cakes and a go on the tombola stall. Her mum never gives her any pennies to spend and it's a shame as she wants to join in like all the others. She was really good and very brave last weekend. She came home from school on the Friday with a very deep cut in her hand. School had not washed it out properly and it was full of dirt as she had fallen in the mud. By the time she got to our house it was looking very red and inflamed. Grandad spent an hour opening back the skin and cleaning it out for, before smothering it with germaline and a bandage. She was so brave and cried quite a lot, I couldn't have let him do it to me. I took her to Asda on Saturday morning and let her pick what she wanted. She wanted a dress, she chose a long peach sundress and peach and black Ballerina shoes. She said " Nanna thank you I feel really special in this." I told her that was because she was extra special and Nanna's little treasure.</div>

She was really good, we had kidnapped one of her dolls baby blue and left her a secret letter and map and clues around the house so she could solve them and find him. He was hidden upstairs in a little suitcase along with some treats, she had a great time finding him. Saturday night we watched the final of Britains got Talent, which she loved watching. Sunday she was out all day with her Daddy. He was working all night so Grandad gave her a bath, then I dried her and it was time for milk and biscuits. After that it was my job to tuck her up in bed and we finished reading the Faraway tree by Enid Blyton. I was up bright and early Monday morning just incase her Daddy was late in from work. She was no trouble getting up and she was soon off to school with her Daddy.<br />
<br />
I've just managed to get all my washing done and dryed today in the lovely sunshine. Mind you just after tea the heavens opened and we have had a torrential downpour and thunder storm and hailstones. Glad I wasn't out in it.<br />
<br />
I've been crafting tonight but can't show you what until tomorrow as it's not finished, but I do have some cards I made last week. The first card uses the new Phil Martin stamp I bought last week at the show. I have stamped and embossed it and also the sentiment. The flowers are made with Heartfelt Creation stamps and cut out by hand. I added pearls in the centres.<br />

Both my friend and I had our photo taken with Phil but unfortunately my camera doesn't want to load the picture onto my computer. I think I need a new conector.<br />
Still I have some cards to share with you. The first two are made with Tonic Dies<br />

Thursday was lovely for Maddisons sports day at school. It was fun to watch her doing the egg and spoon race, the sack race, and running. I loved to see the concentration on their little faces and they all had lots of fun. Mind you it was very warm for them, but they did get a drink break and a ice pop half way through.<br />
Friday after school she had us all playing football in the back street. She put me in goal so I didn't have to run about, which is impossible with my bad feet. Mind you I soon got told off as I wasn't doing it right. All her dolls had to join in and we even had a baby one as referee, as she said he was to tiny to kick the ball.<br />
Saturday we even had breakfast outside and Maddison and I played with her dolls for a couple of hours before her Daddy took her out for the afternoon.<br />
I decided to stay in , so pegged my washing out, put on the radio and sat out all afternoon being lazy and doing my embroidery, Hubby had gone playing tennis so it was lovely and peaceful. After tea Maddison helped me to water all my pots. Then this morning she planted some Sunflowers seeds up and a small pot of peas so she can hopefully watch them grow and water them., then we played with her dolls again. It's so lovely to be able to sit out for a change.<br />
I just have one card to share with you today. I t is a free digi that Nicki Hall designed and it is of herself. <i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>I have coloured with promarkers and used 2 joy dies for the coffee pot and cup and Tattered lace bunting die.<br />

By the time I have spent my time washing and ironing most days I'm too tired to be bothered.<br />
Last week I decided to straighten up some of my craft stuff that I keep down stairs and re- organize it better. I kept losing where I had put things, so I was spending more time looking for things than crafting.<br />
This week I couldn't resist buying a craft magazine as there was a free set of Lavinia stamps on the front, so have been playing with my inks and some other Lavinia stamps that have not been out for a long time. I have managed to make four cards.<br />

Last week was sad but Dad had a lovely send off , we had time remembering all the good times we had shared with him. It was nice to see Mums family again after about 5 years, it's a pity it was under sad circumstances.<br />
<br />
I hope you all had a good week. I have had a busy week, catching up with the dreaded washing, loads of ironing and housework. Mind you we have had some sunshine so that cheered me up, and it's definately a bonus.<br />
Also had a lovely weekend with my grandaughter, her daddy was working last night so it was a real treat to keep her up a bit and have a snuggle in front of the tv. That was after she had worn me out playing with her dolls house and all her dogs out of her vets, I have to do all the voices for them. Thats mighty difficult when there is about twenty different ones, plus the dolls. It was lovely I got to put her to bed and read her two chapters of her book. The Faraway tree, she's only six but she is great at reading, she doesn't really need me to read the words, she's good at very difficult words too. When I go down stairs she sneeks her torch on and reads abit more by herself if she doesn't feel tired.<br />
Yesterday and today I have managed to get some crafting in, so have some cards to show you.<br />

I am trying to use some of my papers up and images, I've got loads of them, I think they breed when I go to bed. Plus one of my friends gave me some of hers to use up.<br />
I'm off to the hospital for a check in with my oncolagist on Wednesday. It's just to see how I'm going on they don't want to give me any treatment until about October. To be honest I don't think there's much they can do. I am trying a Ketogenic diet that's from America, they have done some research over there and they think that sugar and carbohydrates help the cancer to breed. So I have cut them out, you just eat Turkey, chicken,, cabbage, spinach, sprouts, fish. I also can't have dairy so I drink Almond milk and have managed to find some lactose free cheese as I need my calcium for my bones. Your also not allowed any fruit. I think the things I miss most are toast , yoghurt, rice and couscous.. It's very boring and hard to keep to.<br />
Mind you there's one good thing I've lost two stone. I only have two meals a day and loads of water.<br />
Well I'm off to tidy up and get to bed. See you later in the week. Thank you for dropping by.<br />

<br />
Last week I had a foot appointment for a fitting for new insoles to be made. I also was out all day Saturday as myself and 6 friends to the Sincerely Show at Leigh. We had a lovely time and got some lovely goodies. Although I must say I was disappointed with some of the stalls. Never mind we have another show at the end of May.<br />
I've been crafting in fits and starts in between trying to catch up on housework.<br />
My first card was made for my friend Sheleigh it was her birthday the other week before we all went out.<br />

Having a good time crafting as well this week. I managed to stamp some flowers yesterday and had a nice time colouring them in while watching Tv . I'm out on Wednesday afternoons at a local church hall, they have a small group of people that either embroider or knit while having a natter. They are all a lot older than me but very talented ladies. <i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>Tonight I. decorated my flowers then made them into a card.<br />
The first card I have to show you I made for Husband who's Birthday was on Saturday, he was thrilled to bits with it.<br />

I was doing some colouring and putting a card together.<br />
Hubby was at the hospital today so tried to keep busy to take my mind off it. <br />
I also had our Maddison coming for tea , so made her favourite Cottage Pie. followed by Rice Pudding.<br />
Hubby back home and as to keep rested for a week, he usually does most of the shopping as I can't carry<br />
much one handed. So it looks like I will be out nearly everyday getting some each day.<br />
<br />
I've managed to make four cards , I have used Jungle Friends, Monkeying Around and Animal Safari all stamps <br />

I always have a busy time on Sunday, it's housework time after 12pm when Maddison has gone home. I have a good clean through and make a start on stripping the bedding and and doing all the other washing that's piled up. Then tea needs making before I know it after that I have a bath before dropping exhausted down to watch Mr Selfridge. I really missed Call the Midwife tonight I thoroughly enjoyed watching the series.<br />
I was busy most of the week working on a commission of a Wedding card I had to do. It's a few years since I made a wedding card for anyone. I used to make them regularly for a customer when I was working. I really enjoyed making this one and the box I used a stamp that belongs to a friend and some old Papermania papers that I had. The person who I made it for was thrilled with it. I just hope the receiptients are too.<br />

I have been having a tidy up after a hectic weekend with Maddisons Birthday. She had a lovely time, her Daddy bought her a X treme Drumkit and keyboard. So we had a very noisy time as she set about entertaining us. Banging away giving it her all, while singing as well to her favourite music band One Direction. Needless to say we ended up wanting some ear plugs after about 3 hours of that. She finally decided to give the drums a rest when her Birthday cake appeared.<br />
I have spent today making a birthday card for my friend. It's her Birthday next thursday, but she's taking me to the hospital on Monday so have had to try and get it done quick. I just hope she will like it.<br />

I can't believe it was the 13th when I last posted.<br />
I was busy last weekend as my Son went away on the Saturday so we were looking after Maddison. We took her to the pictures as she wanted to see Harry Hill the Movie, which she enjoyed. I have to say that I had been awake half the night with my feet driving me mad, and not long after the film started I nodded off and kept waking up every time there was singing. We went for some lunch and then went to the toy shop and the pet shop then headed back home to play with her dolls and dolls house. <br />
I've been busy this week wrapping presents and making a pass the parcel as it's Maddsions 6th Birthday on Friday. I have also been busy making her Birthday card tomorrow ni8ght we have to blow up all the balloons and put her birthday banner up. She was all excited last week, she as been busy counting down the days for about three weeks.<br />
For her card I have used Here comes the girls Cd. The image on the front is a digi stamp coloured with promarkers<br />

I really liked them so decided to have ago at making my own using one of my Spellbinder dies. It was so easy to make, I'm pleased how it turned out I added some paper from this months Making Cards magazine and Lace flowers from my stash, with pearls and sequins. I will be trying this again with another shaped die next time.<br />
My other card tonight was stamped with one of the tiny lady stamps I used on my fan card a couple of weeks ago. I have had this set of stamps ever since I started stamping, which is too many years to mention. I just kept this simple. The frame was a laser cut I've also had forever, it was cream and I embossed it with embossing powder.<br />

I managed to get out with my best friend on Saturday afternoon so that was really nice.<br />
It's really cold tonight here in my craftroom so keeping this brief. I have managed to make a card this afternoon. I have been watching Tattered Lace die on C &C I can't afford the dies so thought I would dig out all my beautiful lace bits from when I was working. I worked for a company that sold lots of bridal laces. Before I had to finish they were having a sort out and they were throwing heaps of their old samples. I asked if I could have them as they were too pretty to go in the bin. I have made a vintage card and plan to make a few more. I have hundreds of beautiful pieces, I just got to think of a hundred ways of using them now. If you have any suggestions please leave me a message.<br />

I kept in doors and played with my inks again. Sorry I 've used my favourite ones again, Rusty hinge, Wild Honey and Mustard seed. I have had some of Sheen's stamps for a while now and they haven't seen ink, so today was the day. I just love this big tree stamp. For the background of the card I have used a wood grain stamp with Tea dye distress ink. I have also used my Perfect Layers for the first time, as they only arrived this morning. Must say they are so easy to use and so quick., no more messing about with guilotine or cutter for me.<br />

I haven't done any inking for a while so had a really nice time playing. I'm sorry to say my skills at taking photo's is nil at the moment they are rubbish. I thought my last lot was rubbish but these are worse.<br />
The first two are using a mask inking through then going over the top with Transparent paste. On the yellow one I used a wire netting stamp around the edge of the card then matt and layered. Then on the blue and lilac I inked around the edge of my card then mounted on a wider matt of backing paper.<br />
My next two cards where made with the resist techneque. I stamped script repeatably with versemark then covered with clear embossing powder. Inked my background. Then stamped the flowers the sentiment was stamped on the bottom where I had masked off.<br />

He had the result of my bone scan from December. He is not giving me any other treatment at the moment and wants to see me again in 3 months.<br />
Yesterday I did manage to make some more cards but didn't have time to take any photo's so here they are.<br />
