Hi Everyone
Well the sun has been out and shining beautifully, the washing has been going outside to dry and the heating hasn't needed to be turned on at all .. .. .. how wonderful is that!
So with that "feel good" factor in the air what do I do? Clean the windows? Start some Spring cleaning? No .. .. .. I make my first Christmas card for 2025! LOL!!
Some may say it is a bit too early .. .. but I need to start my Christmas stock box in readiness so I am not doing them last minute. So it might be early, but I am only just in time for running over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme is "Positively Poinsettias".
Not too many Poinsettia themed craft goodies here .. .. .. but I did have this little chappie .. .. ..
This used:
Image: Amanda Jane Designs "Poinsettia Penguin" (once again I am not able to link to him - as an individual image - he was part of a Christmas digital bundle that no longer seems to be available)
Sentiment: A strip of printed cotton ribbon by Bertie's Bows
Backing Papers: From my Christmas Snippets Box (but all originally from those never ending large paper pads they sell at The Works).
ProMarkers
Corner Rounding Punch
Diamond Stickles
Glossy Accents
My Trusty Sewing Machine
So that is my crafty fix for today before I head off to Mum.
I always take something crafty to do with me when I go .. .. just in case it turns out to be a day when Mum is doing a lot of sleeping .. .. so who knows. There might be more crafting time once the chores are done, but then again, perhaps not. It all depends which Mum I have today. The very sleepy and out of it one .. .. or the social chatty one. But at least I have a Mum .. .. .. and I count my blessings for that.
Enjoy your day whatever you are doing.
