Its been a busy two weeks since my last post one way and another. Have not been anywhere other than odd walk here and there. Chores and people popping by seem to be the order of most days. Ventured into the garden for short periods of time , attempting to tidy up here and there. Have crafted along with others Online. Cooked and sorted stuff out.
The main focus of my crafting has been cards for my S.I.L's 60th birthday and her's and my brother's Ruby Wedding Anniversary - both on 7th March. I also helped organise a cake.
They had socially distanced visits by two of their three sons and families. Obviously not at same time. There was also an afternoon tea provided by their sons. So despite the current situation they did manage to enjoy their very special day.
Above my 'desk ' - as I left it Tuesday evening.
I’m so glad they had a lovely day of celebrations despite the COVID rules! The cards you made for them are wonderful, love the deep ruby reds of the anniversary card so much.
ReplyDeleteWe’ve just been pottering in the house and garden too and are waiting to see what the First Minister says on Friday, I don’t think much is going to change tbh.

Really love the cards and it’s good to hear you’re managing to celebrate special events in the only way we can at the mo.

Beautiful cards Anne! Very stylish, both of them. Your grandsons must be a similar age as my son. I first thought that was the same boy - they do look alike a lot - strapping young men! Wishing you a lovely week! xx zsuzsa #24
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous 60th card! I really love the pops of lime green against the purple. It's been lovely seeing all the young people going back to school, even if my son did go back yesterday without even saying goodbye to us! As always, stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #8
ReplyDeleteGood to see them all "back to school" ben was up early, dressed and ready to go on Monday! Lovely cards - they always look so tricky to me as a non paper crafter Anne. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteGood morning... first off, gorgeous cards! So very elegant. Not sure who's kitchen those two are standing in but seriously envious here LOL I love my kitchen but I think I"d live in that one. Lots going on as always, I see. New catty releases to us in less than 2 months. Can't wait to see what's new! Creative Blessings! ~Kelly #32
ReplyDeleteWhat awwesome cards! I love them, especially the 60th. Helen #3
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely beautiful cards, Anne, and so nice to see the grandkids posing for their photos in the identical spot! Your kitchen looks amazing... I would love a kitchen with an island and a fabulous skylight like that. I watch a lot of house programmes and always fall in love with the kitchen! Lovely big glass doors to let plenty of light in, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit. I have to confess to being a bit of a kitchen machine junkie but believe me they all get used! I do a huge amount of food prep from scratch because I always like to know what goes in things, and the machines are great labour-savers. Actually I couldn't live without my Vitamix (high speed blender) - it's the biggest investment of them all but if you are going to be serious about whole-food plant-based, it's pretty much an essential machine. I hope you manage to get your crochet squares joined up. It's much more fun crocheting them together instead of sewing, especially if you find a nice pattern - I was delighted to find this one.
Happy WOYWW,

Your cards are beautiful congrats to all and don't your Grandsons look so similar. They look happy about returning back to school. Here's to happy safe times when we can be together with our families, lets hope it's soon. Happy WoywW Tracey #15
ReplyDeleteHello dear Anne, it sounds like all is well there and improving, too. Your grandsons are so handsome! The cards you made are very impressive and I am sure very well received. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Beautiful cards. I can't believe they were made. Have a fantastic week. Dorlene #34
ReplyDeleteWell I hope school went smoothly for the grandchildren....they are looking terribly grown Anne! I say terribly, but really, that’s just me noticing that even lockdown doesn’t stop them growing! Your desk looks full of intention...I see a notebook and automatically think of to do lists. Is it my conscience?!! Really gorgeous cards for the celebrations, sounds asa though the best day in the circs was had, can’t ask for better than that, and it will remain memorable!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Anne and I am sure much appreciated. Hope the grandchildren have a successful return to school. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4

Hi Anne, I'm late this week as I had to sort some stuff out yesterday ready for my mum coming home. Those are gorgeous cards. Good luck to the boys too. Happy creative, belated WOYWW, Angela x19x
ReplyDeleteLovely cards and handsome grandsons! We are not allowed to meet anyone yet! My daughter in law tells me Primark is opening Monday. I’ll pass on shopping! Have a great week Angela #21
ReplyDeleteSorry I am so late this week - birthday got in the way of blog comments.
ReplyDeleteMy word you have been lucky having visitors, we haven't had anyone call as yet, apart from the postie. Mind you the phone has been hot!
Lovely cards, I really do like the birthday card you made, I never think of doing them that shape and yet when I see one I always admire them - note to self - see Anne's blog. The Ruby Wedding card is lovely too - I always think the ruby colour looks good on a card.
Take care, maybe not too long before we can all meet up.
Hugs, Neet xx
Those cards are stunning! Alex doesn't go back to school until tomorrow. Happy belated WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#18)
