Welcome to our first blog hop .........................

I'd like to welcome you to the first ever Whoopsidaisy blog hop! We've decided to hold a blog hop to celebrate our return to weekly challenges!

You hopefully should have started the hop at Nets blog, so if you haven't have a virtual hop over there to begin.

There is a letter on each blog which forms a phrase common to us all! Please make a note of each letter and the phrase. Your last stop will be the Whoospidaisy blog. Please leave a comment there, but not the phrase! Linnie will pick a winner and they will then email her the phase and win their choice of 4 sheets of digis. There is also a draw on each blog and the winner will receive the digi used on that blog.

My Letter is V
and you might be lucky enough to win a sheet of the 4 digis that this one came from that I have used for my sparkle card,
The little water drops are in glitter as well, even though they do not show up well in the photo.
Your next stop will be over at CEC'S.
Don't forget to stop by all the blogs to have a chance to win digi images all the way,
and a super final prize of 4 sheets of digi images on the Whoopsidaisy Blog.

I wish you all luck in the blog hop,
I am entering this card into the following challenges -
Totally Paper Crafts - Bling It On
Creative Inspirations Challenges - Glitter, Glamour and Girlie

Hugs

Just a little Spider ...................

This little spider is what I knitted up in less than a hour yesterday afternoon for my youngest boy to take to his halloween party along as being a ghost, see previous post for the photo,
this little spider knitting pattern I got free from Julies Knitting Corner Blog.
My youngest son took the photo before he left out the door.
so pop over to Julies to see better photo's of them.
I have been back to the Doctors this morning,
got more tablets to take but also see him because I had found a little lump on my privates downstairs, I have been panicking all weekend, at the moment we know its a cist and will go
away on its own, if it comes back have to go back to see him.
Will get better eventually, I am determined, just get a bit down at times, so keep busy with crafting and filling up my Folksy Shop.
Going to be posting some lovely 3d decoupaged baubles in there this afternoon just right for the christmas tree.
Thanks for stopping by
Back Soon

The first is a beautiful card from Linda D from making greeting cards yahoo group,

Feeling A Bit down again .............

I am sorry for being MIA just lately,
I am not well again, went to the doctors this morning,
and on top of the 2 tablets I am taking 3 times a day,
I now have another two to take, this time for the lump etc on my leg and the really bad cramps that I am getting in my legs,
I go to see the specialist again next Wednesday the 13th.
It just really gets me down, so if I go quiet its so I dont dump my downs on you lot,
The two photo's I am posting today are of a pair of wristlets that I knitted the other night,
they are a lovely blue,
I have been really busy with my needles (knitting) just lately and want to get some nice stock up so I can start up my Etsy shop again real soon,
Typical that as soon as I try to get organised with something like this, I end up ill again,
Perhaps one day, it will work for me, I dont want the world just my own little online shop to sell my handicrafts, not much to ask is it?
Back soon,
Thanks for stopping by

Christmas Decoration .... for Whoopsidaisy's new challenge

Happy October to all,
Today is the beginning of the new challenge for this month over at Whoopsidaisy,
and the challenge is paper piecing,
I had this idea of making a chrimbo decoration,
so I used one of the lovely images available from Whoopsidaisy, and flipped it over in my craft studio, a first for me as not good on puters,
then printed on normal white paper and then on two different patterned papers,
on one side the lady is wearing blue and on the other she is wearing the green,
same with the little girl she is opposite on the sides as well,

I also added cotton wool to make the fur all over on one and not so much on the other,
I must admit I prefer the side with not so much on,
the colouring I did with promarkers, still getting to used to using these.
love them for the skin colours and for the hair.
Please pop over to Whoopsidaisy to join in with us,
I would love to come and see your lovely creations,
also please pop over and give the rest of the DT some loving,
their paper piecing is out of this world.

I am also entering this into -
Sew Many - Anything Goes
Stamp It Crazy - Anything You Like,
Totally papercrafts - Great Outdoors,

Thanks for stopping by,
and hope you all have a wonderful October.
Hugs
Angie
