SPYDER's BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE 2022

 Hello Peeps,

I am popping in today to tell you about SPYDER's BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE 2022.

You may use any SPYDER's CORNER image that you like for your project and the Theme is " ANYTHING GOES ". The Challenge will run from 12th March to 12th April 2022, so you have plenty of time.

Spyder is not going to tell us how old she is this year, so I'll have to do some digging LoL  :-D

My card is made using yellow corrugated card and a new image from SPYDER called ' BUBBLE BALLOON BEAR ', which was a freebie from a couple of weeks ago. SPYDER does a weekly FREEBIE on her Blog :-)

I have coloured him using Spectrum Noir markers. I haven't used these in a while due to my 'chemo fingers' but it didn't go so bad..... a couple of places of 'over-run' but hey ho :-D 

Oki Doki - I'm off to see if I can find some other Challenges to enter him into.

Thanks for popping in.  xoxo

ANOTHER APPLIQUE PICTURE

 Hi Peeps,

Here is another applique picture I did for a friend. He has several Dachshunds and Border Terriers and his partner is from Scotland - hence the Tartan sweater :-D

It has safely made it's way up to Yorkshire, so I can Blog it now. :-D


He was done from an ELIZABETH HARTMAN pattern called " Dogs in Sweaters ".
I am currently working on a Rotweiler picture, which will go to Australia. :-D

Hope you are all keeping safe and well.
Thanks for popping in. xoxo

SOME MORE APPLIQUE

 Hello Peeps,

Well - I'm doing a lot better this week. I've had my stitches out and now my chemo Port is ready for use :-D

I have popped in to show you another piece of applique I did a couple of months back. I can show you now because it has arrived as a gift to a dear friend - I didn't want to spoil the surprise. :-D



I would love to make this whole quilt one day but it's a bit beyond me at the moment.

I'm now working on a doggie one to go to Australia :-D

I hope you are all well and I wish you Happy Crafting.
Huz

A TOUCH OF T REX- ITIS

 Hello Peeps,

I know I haven't been around here much recently but I had to come tell you of a funny story on my road to fighting cancer.

I don't know if you are aware, but having so much chemo absolutely trashes your veins, making it more difficult every time you go for them to get a Cannula in. It was recently decided that I would be fitted with a permanent "Port" - which is a device fitted in your chest just below your collar bone during a small operation. I must say, I was delighted.

I have been suffering lately from an arthritic or something attack in my left should joint, which means I can only lift my arm at the elbow and makes dressing and reaching etc. very difficult. So, I merrily enter the operating room and he says " Which side do you want it on ?".

Now, with hindsight, my brain should have said " Put it on the left because your arm is already skanky", but Noooooo....... " I'll have it on the right please " I gaily reply.

When I awoke I realised how very painful this "little" operation was and that now my right arm is also limited to only being moved at the elbow..... Hahahahahaha  :-D

Hence - until this heals in a few days, I am constantly wearing my pyjamas and my arms are about as puny and useful as those of a T Rex........ T Rex-itis   :-D :-D :-D
