Caching Knight

Had a lovely day with my hero.
Yes, I said my hero. My darling hubby is my knight in shining armour (well jeans and jumper anyway), he risked his neck to retrieve a geocache after I was unable to pull myself up to.

 The soft-focus effect was purely a fluke. I slid about a bit because the ground was a bit muddy.

This cache was the highest terrain difficulty we have done to date.

We have now cleared a hundred finds. We're hoping we can make a complete calender month of finds in the new year.

Well back to hooking ;-)

Quick update of october madness

Hard to believe it is already November but October has been an interesting time!

First Mawgy DJ's her autumn ball ("Eye Ball").
I started making xmas pressies, just some small crochet broaches.
Then came the Halloween costume.....Alice Return to Madness....Mawgans chosen horror game!

 

Unfortunately I forgot the blood but fairs fair, I was up till the wee small hours nipping and tweeking the length and hand-drawing the warped symbols. The horseshoe pendent was another labour of love.

But the whole dark make-up was the real triumph, I stered at the game-box for ages so I could get it just right.

 I did get a huge hug when she woke up and saw her Halloween costume hanging on the living-room door. 

She had a fabulous night of trick-or-treating with friend, whilst I (dressed in my she devil costume) enjoyed seeing and giving treats to all the little monster/Ghouls/Witches and Ghosts. I even got a visit from a couple of tiny pumpkins....sooooo cute!!!

Before anyone asks there is no photo of me in my costume :-p

Back soon

Eye Ball

Just a quick note

Our little Mawgy did her first DJ set at her school's halloween disc "The Eye Ball".............(teachers?!?!? LOL)
 Lots of little and not so little zombies, witches and creatures that go bump in the night, walking outof the school gates.
 But here's our DJ

Vampire maybe?

Definitely inherited the pale celtic skin tone

Then again it could be the terrible flash on my mobile

But it could also be a glich in the matrix
(sorry bad movie pun, but she definitely has a Trinity thing going on here)


I am however, quite looking forward to seeing all the neighbourhood kids dressed up in their scariest outfit.










Off to find the garlic incase she hasn't finished her homework....lol

Back soon with more cards n crochet

Sunflower

I'm definitely getting back into the card-making swing.....and loving it!

I loved the challenge that was set by "The Card Concept"

The idea of bright sunny flowers was too tempting to pass up.
It also meant I could dig out my favourite stamp, so here is my take:

It's slighty shabby chic and I used masking to give it a little depth

and naturally the insert had to have a sunflower too . The border is free-hand.

• Stamps - LOTV Teddy Flower, freebie sentiment and WMS Gingham&Co
• Inks - Momentos Tudeo Black and S.U. So Saffron
• Pro-Markers
• Lace from stash

Back soon
