More Stitching!

Seem to have spent a bit more time in my craft space recently and am lovin' using my sewing machine on my cards! I've been keeping the layouts really simple and managed to come up with this one.



The image is Sarah Kay which has been coloured with Promarkers and added some doodling around the edges. DP is DCWV. Jumbo brads are from SU, ribbon is from my stash and sentiment is Woodware.....I think!!!

Bright sunny day here today so am hoping to get alot done.

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 !!!!!...
