Christmas Tree

Hi all

 Well it's been a long time since I posted anything. Since we lost Basil my mojo had disappeared as he would always be in my craft room with me. But I decided that it was time to knuckle down and make some Christmas cards, which to my surprise I have enjoyed creating.
I have been wanting to get a tattoo in memory of Basil for quite a while and when we went away for a  few days the other week  for our wedding anniversary I found a great tattoo shop in Weymouth and they turned my idea into a design. I will post a pic of it at the end of this post.
We are also going to have our first grandchild early next year so I have been busy crocheting a baby blanket which I have now completed and included a picture of that too.

 So on to my card created using a Tree mask and Polar white texture paste which I sprinkled with Pixie powders while still wet. 


 I was rather pleased with the way it turned out. The texture paste has a sparkle to it. I hope you can see it in the picture.

 Below is a the pic of my tattoo - just a day after it was done. I love it. 
 This is the blanket I crocheted. The wool is super chunky and very soft great for the new baby. 
 I am also 3/4 of the way through creating a throw for myself - I will post a picture once completed but I have started on another baby blanket now -so mine may go on the back burner for a while.

 Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

    Hi MAria, nice to see you back. Love the card and the blanket looks so soft and cosy.

    So sad when we lose a pet, sadly it's something we all have to go through, xxx

    Sorry to read about your loss, hugs to you Maria, thanks for stopping by my blog, I didn't realise you had a blog to! I love the tree what a fab idea to sprinkle the pixie powders in the sparkly texture paste, I'm going to try that for sure and will link to you when I do, thanks for the idea :) Hugs - Debs xxx

    Hi Maria
    A super card even though you think you have lost your mojo.
    A lovely tribute to little Basil. I hope that Rufus is doing well.
