Horsing Around by Janice McFarlane

Well another half term is nearly over and we havent exactly had great weather on these fair isles. No matter what the weather my daughter and the boys always find something to do. On this occasion Harry and his friend had fun running around in a wooded area near where they live. On the way back home they passed the local livery where my daughters friend keeps her four horses. Her friend just happened to be in the yard and invited my daughter and the boys to come see her horses, one of them being a cute Shetland Pony. It was a big thing for her as she is scared of horses, but she was happy to oblige the boys who got to sit on a beautiful Dapple Grey Horse.

Yummmm....... by Vicki Avcin

Our banana trees have been working overtime this year. We had 4 bunches on together early this year and as we have cut one when its ready, another pod has appeared on one of the other trees meaning weve had a constant supply of bananas this year. This is the first bunch we cut back in March. They are sugar bananas, lady fingers, and the fruit itself is sweeter than a cavendish banana and also a lot creamier to eat. The skins are quite thin too, meaning you get all the banana to eat. We have since cut 4 bunches and have another two in various stages of growth on the trees. Banana bread, banana sandwiches, banana with icecream ………yummm How do you like to eat your banana?

This weeks designs feature a cute Aussie Christmas and a floral design that could be used for several occasions.

This … by Carol Clarke

… week was the school half term holiday and we had a fabulous day with our youngest grandchildren, Olivia aged 13 and Austin aged 10. We did some crafting (of course! lol) played board games on very big boards I made from a huge TV box and used painted stones as the counters and big wooden dice too! Olivia loves to bake and we made Coconut & Chocolate Macarons, which were yummy! Olivia doesnt like her photo being put on any public site so I only included her hands in the photo! The bottom right 2 photos are cards Olivia designed and drew herself!! She could possibly be a 2nd generation CUP designer someday in the future! lol

A Fun Post Box Topper by Sue Way

Another quick turnaround with the new post box topper. As we walked towards it with the dogs, I couldnt work out what the next theme could be. What a surprise to find that this topper was labelled Just for Fun! And it is fun, with the colourful animals, including a monkey, a donkey, a unicorn and even a pink flamingo. Unfortunately, we had had a lot of wind and rain, so some of them were lying down. Still lovely though. My end-of-month SALE is on at the moment, with 20% off my whole store!

Peony blooms for Memorial Day by Judith Henry

Its that time of year. Memorial day and Band festival parade in town. This is the first year we did not go to the parade. The weather was not cooperating. There was too much garden work to catch up on. Sound familiar? It was nice to be able to have a picnic on the porch and enjoy watching the peony bush bloom. The garden got put in, flowers planted, hummingbird feeders hung and lawn mowed. It was fun watching hubby do all that while I stayed in the craft room with my new toys... Computer and cutting machines. Im trying to design more cards that are considered Clean and Simple (CAS) and have joined several FB books to get advice. If you have any ideas let me know.
