I've blogged something completely different, i made these while my computer was getting fixed.

I needed new curtains for the lounge,
So while I had time on my hands, I decided to make my own.
Then I thought I would make matching tie-backs,
I've had a bead trimmings for quite awhile
They seemed to be a perfect match,
Hey Presto.... new curtains.
 

 
It goes to show what you can do when you haven't got a computer.

Please look after this bear.....

Hi everyone,
Did you know that Jeremy Clarkson & his sister were the first children to play with
Paddington Bear.
His Mam designed & made Paddingtons clothes, so they got to play with him.


I thought i'd take a look at some of my earliest cards & give the all a laugh,
Believe it or not, this card actually got published.
What was the editor thinking of.
Thank you for stopping by.
