Dig this! by Helen Howell

I have installed some new raised beds. Filling them was a real task. My husband and I trundled our way up and down the garden with a wheelbarrow, negotiating two different levels of steps which exist in my backyard, and the slope of the land to reach the veggie garden. It took us 4 half days between us to fill all four beds, not bad since we are both in our 70s. Now I can look forward to a very productive vegetable garden. Spring is almost here and Im raring to go.

Howdy Pardner! by Janice McFarlane

Its no secret my daughter loves everything Wild West and Country. What sparked it all off is when she watched the Netflix series Yellowstone and she was hooked. So bits of Western themed homeware, accessories and clothing started appearing and her latest Halloween decorations are cowboy ghosts. Last weekend she had a girlie day out at a Country and Western style Festival. She had booked it a few months in advance and was so excited she was determined to look the part. She didnt want to wear jeans so she chose a Western style dress, her hubby bought her the cowboy hat and she bought some boots. Even Otto the family dog got in on the act for photos. She had a great time and Im sure there will be others next year.

Wedding by Vicki Avcin

Well a week after her bridal shower (last weeks news) our grand daughter tied the knot with the love of her life. They met in high school, went to her prom together, stayed friends until about 2 years ago when they got serious. I swore I wouldnt cry when my son entered with Chloe on his arm but well it mustve been dusty in that little chapel. When I first saw her I gasped, she was gorgeous, stunning and beautiful and I was so full of love for both of them. The look on the grooms face was just so full of love as she came to join him and say their vows to become husband and wife. Afterwards the reception was lovely and it went on into the night after the speeches, dinner, cutting the cake with lots of dancing and catching up with people. Photos include my daughter with her brother (father of the bride) and with sons son. The happy couple honeymooned in the Maldives……. What a wonderful start to their new life as Mr and Mrs. This weeks designs are both kits. One for a wedding with several topper and with Christmas coming a set of Santa Clause toppers. My sale is currently on too.

The Legendary Harlequin by Araceli Uriarte

The Harlequin has been with us for many centuries. It was during the 15th Century, when it took the form that we recognise these days, a bright multi-colored costume with a pattern of bright diamonds or triangular shapes. True or not, legend is that the costume was a way to relate to poor people in medieval times who had no money to buy new clothes, so they gathered scraps, causing the outfit to end up looking like a piece of patchwork. Jumping in time to the present, the Harlequin is as alive as ever, even in comics. I love them. Looking at them makes my spirit feel lighter, happier, as if the Harlequin said do not worry, everything is ok. The Harlequin is witty and agile. This is the inspiration behind my collection of Harlequins in my shop. I thought it would be suitable to bring out the Harlequin to deliver your Christmas presents. The size of the images in the collection allows to turn them quickly into cards just by cutting the page in 4 parts. That is the reason the sheets of tags have a background. If you need to make a card last minute for friends, family or working colleagues, you dont have to find backing papers. The backgrounds I have designed make the focal image even more outstanding. I would like to invite you to visit and follow my shop, more Harlequins will be appearing in the following weeks. Even if you just visit for browsing, I am most grateful for that.

Full Circle by Sue Way

A few weeks ago, I shared with you about our granddaughter, Daisy, who is only five years old and is working on a school project about family trees and history. This week, our son took a picture of her standing outside the hospital where I was born. The hospital opened in 1854 as a school for underprivileged children and was later affected by a tragic fire in 1906. Since then, the building has served as West Ham Sick Home, Forest Gate Hospital, and Newham Maternity Hospital. It has now been converted into a block of flats. Its mind-blowing to think that 65 years ago, I was in the same place where Daisy was standing! My end-of-month SALE is now on! With 20% off of all my designs!
