ZOMBIE FISH STONE

 Me again today,

Continuing my Sea theme - I found this rock on the beach that gave me a mental image of a fish so I brought him home and painted him. :-D  This rock fish gave me the inspiration for my ZOMBIE PET SHOP 1 + 2 collections of digis.

I might collect some more rocks and paint kitties or nice things on them and put them back on the beach for people to find :-D :-D

Thanks for dropping in again xoxo

UNDER THE SEA

 Hello Peeps,

Here is something I made using one of my images - MERMAID 1 - but I only used the top half of her.

I made the background using blue and yellow paint on card, and I smurged it all around with my fingers. I then added "waves" using glitter glue.

The mini shells I got from the beach and I added the scary skull because she is a bit scary too :-D

I'VE BEEN SEWING

 Hello Peeps,

I have been trying something completely new - QUILTING.  :-D

Now, I didn't have a lot of material hanging around to do this - going to have to beg friends for any scraps as I'm now hooked.

I joined a quilting site a couple of months ago because I fell in love with the Seagull quilt squares that would be offered every month and here is my first attempt. Suzys Sitcom and this is part of the SEAGULL PARADISE QUILT.

I made a wall hanging for my friend's outdoor Cabana so it's stuck onto 2 layers of thick cardboard.

My chemo fingers had an easier time with the sewing machine. I bought this round needle foot thingy so I could see to edge around all the little pieces but I think it's a foot for freehand embroidery because it was very "slippy ", but considering my furky fingers, I didn't do too bad.

I added googly eyes and omitted to do all the extraneous embroidery as I can't cope with that :-)

I can't show you a full picture of the Quilt because we are awaiting the final square next month, so we don't know what we're going to get yet :-D

I am going to do a couple more as pictures or wall hangings, maybe even a table runner. :-D

Thanks for popping in.

CRAFTLANDIA MONTHLY CHALLENGE

 Hi Peeps - long time, no speak eh ?  I'm doing OK and my chemo numb fingers are getting much better :-D

I have played around with a journal page, using up an old diary,  to enter the latest CRAFTLANDIA MONTHLY CHALLENGE #7 where the theme is The SEA and the Sponsor is GECKO GALZ.

I have used " UNDER THE SEA " backing paper by SPYDER, " SEAHORSE " from the "SEA LIFE 12 piece Set" by me at IKEsART, a SeaShell Border by MY SCRAP CHICK, a saucy lady from GECKO GALZ - TATTOO SUMMER Craft Kit and two images from GECKO GALZ - NAUTICAL 1 & 2 decoupage pages.

I've got something else I'm working on too so I will be back again later :-D

Thank you for popping in.

SPRING BLOG HOP

 Good Morning Peeps,

Welcome to the first day of Spring :-D 

Well it's definitely starting to feel like Spring here in Greece - although it only lasts about a month before it gets hot :-) There are baby goats and lambs everywhere and the Almond blossoms are out. :-D

I just bought this new set by LEIGH SB DESIGNS - called ......

I love these quirky cute little guys :-D

I have coloured them up in pale Rainbow colours and set them on some spring coloured papers and card.

There are lots of brand new Spring designs in Leigh's Shop HERE and there's a SALE on now :-D 

Thanks for hopping in :-D

FREDDY TEDDY's HOUSE

 Hello Peeps,

I have made this card using 2 of the FREEBIES from SPYDER. She gives a lovely FREEBIE every WEDNESDAY :-D 

One is called " FREDDY BEAR " and the other one is " ANOTHER GNOME HOUSE ".

I merged to two of them together and there is Freddy with his first Spring flower. :-D

It was nice to try a bit of colouring as my " Chemo Fingers " are feeling a little bit more like themselves LoL

We are in Dark Red Lockdown here on my little Greek island because the darn Virus has found it's way here, so mostly I am hiding in my house except for trips to the hospital or blood lab :-(

Anyhoo - I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

A BIT OF GOTHIC

 Hello Peeps,

I hope everyone is safe and well ? :-)  My " chemo fingers " have got a bit better so I am trying a little crafting. I must say, my Mojo is definitely hiding away but I was inspired by a new GOTHIC Challenge Blog that I found..... NEVERMORE DESIGNS.

They are giving away an excellent Freebie to play along with so I couldn't resist :-D

I have made a little ATC sized Faux book using papers from my stash, the Freebie and some Smeared Ink stamps from the Nevermore set.

CORONA CHRISTMAS

 Hello Peeps,

Here I am with a little creation to play at Clever Dexter's Challenge. Their theme is Gourds and their Sponsor is Oddball so I loved both :-)

I have used ODDBALL's Set - HALLOWEEN CAT to make my card.

                  

I have used the pre-coloured images for this one since you know I have " finger trouble "  Hahahaha.  

I had to cut off and colour the kitty's Halloween had and add a Christmas one instead.

The background papers are from DELICIOUS DOODLES - " Christmas Critters " paper set.

The Pumpkin family have all turned up at Kitty's house but, not only are they too late for Halloween, there are now too many of them for Kitty's Christmas party because of the " Bubble " Rules !!!!!  Oh well - better luck next year :-D

Thank you for popping in and I hope you are all safe and well.

YAY ! A CHRISTMAS CARD AGAIN :-D

 Hello again Peeps,

Well, yesterday I tried a bit of the old colouring again and it didn't come out too bad. Went over the lines a couple of times but I managed to hide it with a white marker :-D The cutting out was awkward but slow and steady - isn't that what they say. ?

I have made a little card for my Daughter for Christmas. Just found out that the price of a Greek postage stamp has doubles since the Lockdowns all started !!!!

I have used this sweet image from MO MANNING and it's called " What's Cooking ". I coloured her with Spectrum Noir markers and used papers from my Xmas snippets box for the background. I raised her up with 3D foamies and added a couple of heart brads :-)

Had a call from the hospital this morning to check if I'd had my 4th chemo and saying that my Surgeon will ring me next week to tell me the date for the operation - so, hopefully not long now :-D 

Thanks for popping in and I hope you are all keeping safe and well ?
