I hope your day has been good. We have actually had some sunshine today!! Woo hoo!!
I have been plugging away at catching up with your blogs and am getting there very slowly .. .. but wow!! how busy and productive you have all been in my absence.
Still a long way to go before I have caught up with everyone .. .. but I will get there eventually.
I have missed everyone's blogs but have also missed the snippet playground and my sewing machine. I love playing with my snippets and seeing what I can create and love my sewing machine too. None of my wedding orders involve my sewing machine at the moment so to feed my passion I decided today should be snippets "and" my sewing machine. So here is a snippet share for Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge this week.
Of course Sunday is my lazy day and I do not list everything I have used .. .. but if there are any questions just shout out and I will do my best to answer .. .. .. and I promise that there is a heart to find!!!
Hubby's bread baking last night turned out to be very successful and here is a piccy of his creation.
The idea is that you end up with a loaf where you can just break off what end up as little bread rolls or cobs (depending where you come from LOL!!). This is something he saw on the TV the other evening and he did a fantastic job of recreating it.
I told him how brilliant it was and how nice it would be to have two or three of these on the Christmas table to have with our starters (we have lots sitting around our Christmas table). Not sure if his face dropped a little at the thought of making three or not LOL!!!
Have a lovely evening everyone.
I'll catch you again soon.
Love
Beautiful snippets share, and that bread looks delicious! M x
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card, Jules. I love that delicate image!
ReplyDeleteAnd many congratulations to Mr Heart on his breadmaking success! My hubby suggested that the first loaf I ever made should be donated to the construction industry to use to build the Thames Barrier.....
Yep, that loaf was the size and consistency of a brick!

Hi Jules, nice to see you back and with such a beautiful card. Love the stamped image and of course your sewing is perfect, as ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks too for popping in to visit and leave a comment earlier. We leave on Tuesday for our holiday but I've not been blogging much because a) I haven't been crafting anything that I can blog about it and b) my pc has a faulty of/on switch, it works sporadically ... I will have to get it looked at properly and hopefully repaired when I get back from the holiday.
So, if I don't comment tomorrow you will know that the switch is refusing to work again :(

ReplyDeleteHi Jules.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on Raspberry Rd papers. I love papers and cannot get enough of them - just wish my ink wasn't so expensive!!! will put a card on my blog when I have a card using the papers. Love your card, gorgeous lilac colour and the bread looks delish.
Thanks again.

Absolutely Fabulous Jules! The stitching really does set everything off so beautifully. I don't have the space for my sewing machine but even if I did I don't think I could stitch so straight.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering at the sight of that bread. I haven't baked any for such a long time. I'll bet the house smelled like heaven.
Hugs
This is beautiful Jules. The image is really pretty and I love the vase. The papers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteand Wow! that bread looks fab… I am drooling just looking at it… nothing nicer than freshly baked bread with real butter…Mmm… my ancestors were Baker/Confectioner's… but sadly I don't think I inherited the genes… LOL
Have a lovely evening
Love Sue xx
Absolutely beautiful Jules.

Ooh, I have to comment on Mr Heart's bread first Jules - it looks fantastic! Fresh, crusty bread is one of my most favourite things to eat. I can almost taste this.... cheese and pickle or even a slice of ham....
ReplyDeleteOops, lol, of course I LOVE your card. Gorgeous image, sentiment and stitching. I would love a 'trolley dash' around your craft pod so I could snaffle some of your gorgeous stamps!

Such a pretty card.
ReplyDeleteAnd WOW . . . Mr Heart . . . your bread-baking is WONDERFUl. xxx
Fabulous card - the stitching making it so much more. Really need to be acting on the inspiration I get here.
ReplyDeleteThe bread loaf/roll is a brilliant idea - and it's good to know it tasted as good as it looked. Perhaps it could be a regular Friday night thing - then he'd be used to the idea of making loads come Christmas.lol
