Rainbow of Hope

Hello, I hope you are staying safe.Another 2 and half months of isolation to go, although after speaking to my dr and nurse last week it may well be much longer. But there is always hope. 

With that in mind I have made this rainbow of hope ATC coin.I embossed the tree, bunny, and grass, and water coloured the rainbow.

Please stay safe, and stay home. Best wishes xxx

Easter Wreath

I hope you are staying safe and well, in this horrible, horrible time. Easter will certainly not be the same for any of us this year. I made this Easter Wreath some time ago for Calico Craft Parts, and as Easter remains such a special time of year for so many of us I decided to still share it. More details about the wreath are on the Calico Craft Parts Blog.

I hope your Easter is as happy as it can be under the circumstances. Next Easter will  be so very different xxxx

Isolating - lots of free crafty downloads and ideas

Crafting always keeps us sane. But especially so at the present time, when so many of us are in prolonged isolation as we are vulnerable. Lots of lovely crafty people are giving away lots of lovely goodies to download. Lots of other ideas too, I have listed them below. Hugs to everyone, stay safe xxx

Courage Dear Heart

What can I say, we are all fearful at the moment, and those of us who are ill and disabled are even more so. I was originally going to make an Easter Wreath  for Calico Craft Parts this month, but I quickly decided we all needed a little encouragement, so I created this plaque. Please visit Calico Craft Parts to discover more.

I am now quarantined at home for my safety, with all the consequential difficulties. But we will get through. 

All we can do is to continue to hope, and do everything we are asked to do by our Government.

Hugs xxx
