Linda....the words are worth it, pages are gorgeous.The colours gave me an idea for an Easter card for my grandson, its on the blog.
l made it with blue embossed card, l machined all round the edge with white cotton, could have been a darker colour really. Then cut out an egg shape of fabric and machined it to a piece of felt to match. l then cut a slit in the felt and pushed in some cotton wool, trying to keep it flat ish but slightly 3-d ish. Glued that to a card. Glued a bow at bottom and decorations on egg and a few round the egg too, plus a happy easter thingie:o)

Thanks Jude and thanks for doing that for me. I hope to have some duck, geese and swan photos for your blog when I get around to downloading the holiday photos.

Does anyone else get it wrong when buying craft stuff? when in the Lake District we went to Paper Warehouse and I spotted a punch that I thought would work as a nesting punch with one I already had so i bought it, a 2" scalloped oval, I also bought a one inch. when I got home i realised that I should have bought the 3" because the one I already have is 2". I remembered it as being larger than it is. Grrr! So daughter will gain an £8 punch now!! Never mind. the annoying thing is I still only have two to 'nest'.

Doh what you like??
