A VERY gifted Old Friend who is never far from this forum, made me this card and it arrived today in the post. Unbelievable!! I can't tell you how gorgeous it is.

I adore snowdrops, they are my favourite.

Snowdrops are gorgeous, and that card is too!!!

Here's a little project I worked on this week with my daughter, for her school project. We made a stylised (and very simplified) model of the Circus Maximus to accompany her written project which she will present to the class next week:

My goodness, wonderful

One that I made today.

Lovely Sue. Is that for the First Birthday of a certain young madam?

I hadn't thought of that - probably not though.

That's ever so cute, Sue!

hello. Found this today. Totally awed by what you all have shared. I paint t-shirts for my husband. My latest effort.

um. Should have said. This is supposed to be Sid's Cafe from "Last of the Summer Wine".

Welcome Micmic. Very nice. Is it a screen print?

Great t-short. I remember Sid.

Thanks for the welcome. I actually use acrylics with a special fabric paint solution --found at a craft store. This way he gets to wear his very own designs.

How cool is that? Nice one!
and welcome to the forum!

What a beautiful child and frame!!

That afghan is LOVELY! I have always wished I could knit and/or crochet.

Thank you. It is knitted and is much easier to make than one might think Knitting is one of my favourite hobbies.

Santana: I can only imagine the amount of patience that went into creating all those clean lines and paper folds! How did she fare on the project?

Sue: too adorable for words!

micmac: VERY cool. Hope to see more!

Ballyk: Easy? I couldn't knit to save my LIFE lol. Am sure it will be treasured by the recipient for many years and hopefully future generations!

I also can't knit. I had someone TRY to teach me how to crochet. It was just not my cup of tea. My mom and grandma did, when I was younger, but it's just not something I can do.

I almost knitted a scarf once...

This is part of an album "all about me" that I have been working on for some time. My sister and I both took an online course and got the downloads for Photoshop and all the instructions. The course was four weeks long, and we took it a year and a half ago. I've got more done on it than my sister has though!

Looks great, Liz! I really enjoy scrapbooking. Very time consuming, though.

Love your book of you, Liz!!! and BallyK, great to see you back here!!! You look fabulous in your avatar! And I have to say that your afghan is amazing! I can knit (quite well in fact), but I hate knitting big things! It just gets so heavy and cumbersome on the needles! You must have great patience for such a project!

I've been doing more exercising (and clothes shopping) than crafty stuff recently, but here's a layout I made on one of my 'me' nights:



Next week two of my juniors are off skiing in Switzerland, so maybe I'll have a little free time to dig out my paper and glue again?

Hope you get some time, Santanna. I love that page - I always like your style.

Lovely Afgan, Ballyk!

I've started doing some trip pics into scrapbook pages and have been doing some cards lately too .. made a few last weekend and posted them off before I thought to post them!

Here's another one, put together tonight after a dreary, drizzly, grey day, when I felt like a bit of cheerful colour to brighten up the afternoon:

Fantastic, I still can't geet my head around scrapbooking, I have have loads of half finished pages.
