I was up early and had no distractions this morning, so why am I running SO late? Today's project is another #simplestamping card, this time with a sentiment and carnation image from the Inspiring Iris Stamp Set. SAVE TIME I decided to save time by using a pre-cut and scored Whisper White ... VIEW POST

Blackcurrant Jam and Jars
It's getting to that time of year when fruits are ripening and I need to get out my preserving pan. This week I've been busy making 19lbs of blackcurrant jam using fruit picked from our own bushes. I love it spread on dry toast so there's nothing to compete with the rich flavour of the jam. Of ... VIEW POST

Woven Threads and Textured Threads
Last week my sister-in-law lost her 21 month battle with brain cancer. While we knew the end was near it still came as a shock to hear she had finally passed. She inspired everyone with her courage and determination to fight to the end, and she will be very much missed. So this morning I sat down ... VIEW POST
Simply a sunny daisy
What is it about daisies that make me want to smile? Whether it's a tiny daisy in the lawn, or a big bright gerbera I simply love them. I suppose that's why I love the Daisy Delight and Daisy Lane Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! Of course the fact that there are now two different sized coordinating ... VIEW POST
