What has been keeping me busy?

Well that's easy. Life. Sometimes you know it just gets in the way. Birthdays, work, taxiing, cleaning etc but apart from that i have been busy working on this

Its another tablecloth but oh how i love it. It is made from a charm pack of Strawberry Fields from Fig Tree and the pattern is from Camille Roskelley's book Simplify and its called Coming Home. Love love love. As you may have noticed i seem to have a thing for quilting/sewing at the mo, it seems ages sine i have done a LO but i have still been making cards, so here is one

i made this a couple of weeks ago. The ruffle is cut from an old sewing pattern (sorry Jen i know you think that's sacrilegious). Boy how i am learning in this crafty world not to throw anything out, who would have thought that we would be using old patterns for craft. Its only a shame that i don't have any. and here is another one

This i made for Joe (OMG where have the years gone) and uses some new Papertray Ink stamps that i got.
and here's another one

this one is a straight copy from the PTI gallery and i am sorry i really cant remember who to give the credit to. Great for a male card don't you think?
and here's.... no not another one but something else

a gift box of cards for the Tea Lady at school who was very nice and gave me her old typewriter when i mentioned that the craze in scrapbooking at the mo is old typewriters, and lucky for me hers was collecting dust. The cards in the box are again another copy but i will post about them next. The flower is again made with old pattern paper. Oh and guess what, Tea Lady happens to have a big big box of old patterns that she doesn't want :)  :)

So there you go i hope you made it to the end, if you did THANKS
i just have the binding to sew on my quilt which i may go and do now.
