Stitch Me Up!


Back again with my second and final card of the day. Loo is still not fixed but my brother is coming over tomorrow to take a look and see if he can sort it out temporarily until Plumber comes early next week!

Right, on to business. The challenge on Tilda & Co., this week (just in again by the skin of my teeth!) is.....

"We would love to see your work involve stitches!!! Now this could be as simple as hand stitching, machine stitching, or even faux stitching....."



Decided to use the Teddy from Magnolia and coloured him with Brushables. Added a sentiment from the Just Hatched set from Papertrey Ink. Dark blue c.s. is Bazzill Bling and lighter blue c.s. is also Bazzill, with the small panel run through the Cuttlebug with the Hearts embossing folder. Stitches on outer edge of card are Doodlebug rub-ons as is the button. Ribbon is from Dovecraft, eyelets and ribbon (through eyelets) are from my stash. Tiny sticky gems are from Papermania.

Off to put the boys to bed now and then plan to sit down and catch up on my blogging.

Gorgeous. I have been thinking about a Cuttlebug for a while - and your card may have just swung it - love the effect of the embossing. (my birthday is not far away - I will leave hubby little hints around the house!)

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!...
