A Little Give-Away

I have made quite a few small crochet flowers lately and wondered whether there would be any interest to get some of them .... in mercerized cotton .... various colours ... two different sizes

 

If you are interested, please just drop me a note and if there is more than one person interested, I will draw the winner coming Thursday. Hope you have a good start to the new week, Petra.

Cheerful Monday #50 - Lady

I have had this wonderful image from Gecko Galz in my 'drawer' for a very long while. And now was the occasion to use it for Vicki's second week of 'Anything Goes'

 

 slightly textured white card

recycled tag and part of an old magazine page

crochet and resin flowers

lace, silk ribbon, buttons and washi tape

Hope you can join us for the challenge, Petra.

Lunagirl - Goddess Pendants

There is still time to play with Lunagirl Moonbeams and her wonderful Goddess challenge. I could not decide which lady goddess to choose so I decided to create a little goddess trio

  

All images on the three collages are from Lunagirl Moonbeams' Classical Beauties and Victorian Butterflies collage sheets apart from the script on the left-hand side (Magic Moonlight Free Images)

I turned the collages into pendants

using Ranger Memory Frames and Glas

and adding a little resin flower and some lace

Hope you have time to pop over to Lunagirl Moonbeams blog for fabulous inspiration from the DT and to play along! Have a great weekend, Petra.

Photo Session #15 - Reading Half Marathon & wonderful News

Well, let's start with the hard work before moving on to some wonderful news (lol). Last year in September two friends and myself had the idea of taking part in the Reading Half Marathon .... but not to run it but to walk it! We trained, we talked and planned. We worked out that we would have 10 minutes for 1km in order to arrive at the finish before the cut-off time .... and today was THE day: 13 miles (21km) walking ... it was hard it was faster than we ever thought we would be ... Carlos was the pacemaker and he is FAST. We did it in: around 03 hrs and 22 minutes .... yippeehhhh we made and got a medal! And here are some photos - courtesy of Carlos

the three of us at mile 8: Carlos - me - Veronica

  

 with wonderful supporters all along the way

 

... and here is the finish .... yipppeehhhh

 

And now to some wonderful and totally unexpected news: I made the top three of the Craft Stamper Magazine 'Take it Make it Challenge 7' with one of my Black&White cards .... what a lovely surprise, I am truly chuffed (BIG SMILE).

Have a lovely week, Petra. x

Lunagirl - Goddess

A new week a new challenge over at Lunagirl Moonbeams: Goddess with endless possibilities to celebrate the goddess in us and in others (lol). To create my tag I used some left-over inky background (various distress inks) on watercolour paper which I stamped with a musical note stamp (Impression Obsession) and distress ink 'Peeled Paint'

 

To adorn the tag I chose one of Lunagirl Moonbeams beautiful goddess image from her Goddess collage sheet, slightly distressed the edges around the image

and embellished it with ribbon, lace, half-pearls, a button and little fabric flowers.

Please do pop over to Lunagirl Moonbeams blog to see all the fabulous projects from the DT and hopefully to join in the fun! Petra.

Photo Session #14 - Snowdrop Walk

Ah well, the sun did not really want to appear today but we went for a longish walk anyway (20km). Apart from being with friends and the paths being very muddy, the highlights of the walk were definitely wonderful clusters of snowdrops. We have seen them all along our walk ... a true snowdrop walk. They looked so cheerful with their nodding heads and are such a wonderful sign of early Spring

I wish you all a wonderful start into the new week, Petra. x
