WITH LOVE

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a productive week.

All super busy here as the House of Hearts home move progresses.  We have had so much to read and work through from the solicitors that we have both been grateful we actually attended our reading lessons and didn't play hooky from school and skip them!!  LOL!!!

Moving has definitely changed big time since we moved here nearly 33 years ago.  In those days everything took around 6 weeks.  It is nearly 6 months since we did the first viewing of our new pad. 

So we are getting close to needing to start packing "everything we can manage without on a day to day basis" in readiness for beginning the "deep clean" prior to the great escape.  My remaining crafty goodies will be being lovingly packed over the course of this week (boo hoo) .. .. .. leaving me with just my emergency crafting kit.  

This week amongst all the legal and Mum stuff, I have been trying to get lots of cards made and orders completed to cover the next few months as I fear it is going to be quite a while before everything is available to me again and my "new normal" life begins.  Oh dear, I can feel withdrawal symptoms already!  I wonder how big a box Mr Heart will consider "realistic" for an emergency crafting kit?  LOL!!!

Anyway, onto my sketch for this week.  I decided to go for a square one and  used it to create this:


This used:

Image:  Purple and Gold Butterflies Watercolour Clipart Bundle WondersArtist (via Etsy) This one image is part of a huge bundle of over 400 images.  They print beautifully and have an amazing price point.  I am definitely looking forward to playing with more of them!
Sentiment Die:  Hunkydory Moonstone "MSTONE004" Frames With Love
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat/The Lovely Studio (sadly no longer trading)
Nail Heads
My Trusty sewing machine

and of course Square Sketch No. Fifty Six (you can find the other Fifty Five on the Tab at the top of my blog if you fancy having a play with any of them).


and that is me for today .. .. and to keep my new year resolutions going, tomorrow I will share my Christmas make for this week.  Just need to go and make it now, along with a few others for the up and coming weeks!!!  LOL!!!

Enjoy the rest of Saturday.

    Moving house just seems to take forever these days. Having said that, it took me 6 months to get into my first house and that was 35 years ago. Love your card - Spring is really in the air, Jo x

    That's a lovely image Jules and the sketch is perfect to showcase it. I reckon a LARGE suitcase would be a reasonable size to house an emergency craft kit!! xx

    Beautiful card in some of my favourite colours and another brilliant sketch. Good news about your impending move but why does EVERYTHING seem to be so complicated and take forever these days??? Making up an emergency craft kit must be so difficult - I wouldn't know where to start or what to include/leave out - makes my brain hurt just thinking about it 🤣🤣

    A gorgeous card in my favourite colours. Hope your move goes well when it gets here. I hate to think of all the stuff we'd have to clear if we moved. x

    Beautiful as always!

    Hope all goes well with the packing up, etc.
    I may have mentioned this on your blog before... we have lived in our home way longer than you have lived in yours. It's the only house we ever purchased.
    I don't want to even think about what It would be like to pack all our stuff up. Hubby may not agree with me...but I am ...NOT... the only pack rat in this house! SNILE
