New home card

I bought the window die from SU a couple of weeks ago and was itching to use it. It was perfect for a new home card I wanted to make.  I created the bricks using one of the stencils I bought in Exeter and then layered up the window to make it look like curtains.  The images came from a craft magazine I have had for ages and didn't want to use because they were so pretty.  Anyway I have forced myself to stop keeping stuff to stroke and am now actually getting things out and using them.  It is quite satisfying. 

Where does the time go?

I can't believe how long it has been since I last shared anything here!

We are still busy with village life.  Last weekend there was a charity night in the pub.  It raised over £2,400 for a local hospital.  The theme was 60's, 70's and 80's.  The music was fantastic and everyone looked fabulous dressed up.

 I have said I will help out with a craft afternoon which is being run to raise money for the playing field.  I have made up a few projects for the children and grown ups to make.  Fingers crossed it will go well.  The playing field has a lovely wooden activity set but needs repairing and they are hoping to install gym type equipment for us older residents to use.
