News & Updates from Susan Murdoch

I am really pleased to have made it to Platinum status! I was very excited at the end of last week watching the countdown and waiting for the last few sheets to be sold to take me up to the Platinum level!

A big thank you to all the cardmakers who have bought my sheets ? and to those who have made such a lovely job of photographing and uploading their cards I have not been able to do much work over the past few months due to moving my mother near to us to look after her (time is no longer my own!), then when I thought all was more settled in the new year and I could to get back to doing some designing, I developed MAJOR computer problems ?

TWICE! - which has set me right back! Hopefully I am back on track now and have just uploaded a new sheet ? hope you like it!

It is based on an embroidery I did for the nursery while expecting my first daughter 31 years ago ? and the memories are flooding back because she herself is now expecting her first baby - due this week!!

This is a photo of my husband, one of our daughters and our first grandaughter (who will be one in September) and me while down in Oxford at a wedding last month.

It feels odd looking at the photos of me now without glasses because it was shortly after I had cataract operations in both of my eyes.

This stopped me designing but I am now seeing well and below is my first new sheet since I got my eyes back!

We had a day of being tourists and visited Christ Church where some scenes of the Harry Potter films were shot.

I managed to photograph the huge staircase which I have now used as the background in my latest sheet cup352492_489
