Good Morning Readers,

Hope you are well....... have not been blogging over the last couple of day's, have been so busy with one thing and another....... yesterday, me and hubby decided to have a clean up....... doing things it takes two People...... we pulled out the cooker and gave that a good clean, and my kitchen is all oldy worldy as is the rest of my house, I do not do modern...... so some time ago when my Dad was still alive, he purchased me two  old kitchen units, not sure if any of you remember, them, they had  a cupboard at the  top with glass in them, and a cupboard in the bottom, but the middle had a pull down door you could use as a work surface, plus shelves in for storage,,,,,,,, well I have two of them in my kitchen, when Dad got them for me  they were in great condition just needed a bit of love...... so I repainted them to match my kitchen, took the glass out of both of them , and replaced it with some pretty Laura Ashley tiny rose bud material. to match my kitchen curtains....... and I would not part with for the world...... well we pulled them away from the wall and cleaned behind them as well..... so yesterday was a busy day...... apart from that I was up at the yard as per usual, massing my horse, filling water troughs and moving fencing...... which after all that really did not leave much time for crafting, have also been busy with my blogs.... which take up quite a bit of my time..... well I am back in to work tonight...... there is just not enough hours in the day for what I have to do...... but I did manage to join in with the fun over at  Crafty Hazelnuts and my design  is below.......

Good Afternoon Readers

Well today in my little corner of Cornwall, it is blowing a gale........ I have just had to go and retrieve my washing from the bushes and even in the apple tree....... it is lovely and sunny but very very windy...... the poor birds are having a real problem landing on the bird feeders, well what ya all been up to........ anything interesting,........ I have had the usual glorious morning, up the yard, catching up with friends and riding my horse, what a wonderful way to unwind after my night shifts....... then took the rabble for a run on the fields..... it was so quite it was lovely, all you could hear was the trees blowing around in the wind, and then returned home..... did a few chores, and then retreated to my Craft Room, lovely jubbly...... in a short while I will be taking the rabble to the vets, for there yearly boosters.... not looking forward to that, but still has to be done, but before I go I would like to share with you, the card I made for the challenge over on

 Winter Wonderland, Photo Inspiration  I'm afraid I am a bit hooked on distressing at the mo, and also screwing up my flowers into to little balls to crease them.......

Good Afternoon Readers,

I hope you are all well......... weather today in my little corner of Cornwall, started of very misty.....left work this morning to drive up to the yard, and could hardly see, the mist was so bad...... but as the day went on the sun started to shine, not that I saw much of it, as when I returned from the yard, I went to bed...... have not done much on the crafting front, this week what with work an all........ but I will hopefully play catch up over the weekend, I would like to welcome some new followers to my blog, and I hope you will pop back from time to time....... I am pleased to say that my DT call has ended for my new challenge blog that will be opening on Saturday 2nd November Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challeneg Blog  and also to welcome Lisa as Co-Owner to both my challenge blogs Suzy Bee's and Fat-Tastic Tuesday thank you Lisa....... so I now have a partner in crime....... well I did have to get my mojo from his box this afternoon........ as it is my friend at works Birthday on Saturday, and she just loves anything Vintage....... and below is the Card I have made for her I do hope she likes it........ the flowers were a happy mistake, thank to Chumleigh one of my Black Labs....... I had just used my E-Craft machine to cut said flowers..... placed them on my craft bench, distressed them, and them went to the kitchen to make a coffee........ when I came back he had one of them in his mouth, it must of fell of the bench...... and when I retrieved from him it was slightly screwed up........ but I liked the effect it had given to it, so I screwed up the remaining die cuts and the effect is below.....

Good Afternoon Readers,

Hope you you all had a good weekend....... weather here in Cornwall at the mo a rather grey and windy day.......still I suppose it's what to be expected for this time of year, what happened to the nice weekend that was forecast...... we never had it, did you......... well went out yesterday with hubby, to buy a new rug for the lounge, I have Victorian Tiles, and I do not like them all covered up, so of we went to Carpet Right, looked at the rugs...... the largest they did was eight feet by six feet, the one we liked was called the Paris Collection, price tag £129.00, for a rug....... nearly purchased it, but then I decided to go to the back of the store to see if there was anymore...... and guess what, they had carpet remnants pilled against the wall, and there in the middle, the same colour tones as the rug was, a 13 foot by 6 foot remnant......priced at £40.00, bargain so it was soon loaded in to the truck....... and with the savings on the rug, hubby purchased Queen Smarty Pants my Border Terrier, a pink coat for the winter....... once home we layed the carpet, and I must say it does look rather smart, well back into work tonight, but have managed to join in with the fun over on 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and my design is below.....

Good Afternoon readers,
Hope you are all well this Monday Morning....... well the weather here in my little corner of Cornwall, is rather on the chilly side........ had a spot of rain this morning, but at the mo the sun is shining, well took Chumleigh and Toby back to the vet's this morning, to have there final check up after there little ops that they had, and they have both been given the all clear, so it's back to racing around the fields again...... I am back in to work tonight........ sigh, could quite easily retire....... but then what would I do with my time..... Oh I know, I could craft all day...... sounds good to me, although I do not think my Bank Manager would find it very amusing....... so I will have to put retiring on the back burner for a while...... 
am a bit nervous at the mo as it is Fat-Tastic Tuesday's  first challenge tomorrow.......well the first since I became owner anyway's, and have made quite a few changes, not only to the blog itself...... but also to the challenges, there will NO longer be sketches every week....... so we will see....... this will mean I will have to cut back on the amount of Challenges I enter, as I will be busy with Fat-Tastic Tuesday Challenge Blog and also my own Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge Blog, and both of them are weekly challenges, still it will keep me out of mischief....... and what with Winter on the way, I cannot think of anything better to do on those cold dark evenings.......... anyhoo, I have managed to join in with the fun over on Less is More and my entry is below.....

Good Afternoon Readers,

Hope you are all well......... the weather here in my little corner of Cornwall today is horrible, rain and wind......... went up the yard as per usual this morning, but did pull over and take some beautiful pictures of the sky, it looked amazing as though it was on fire, see below......... well once up the yard we refilled the trough in the field and did the fencing....... no not broken, needed to move it all back about five feet, to give Ace and Whisper a bit more grass........ so they will be pleased when they go out this afternoon....... then ran the rabble, and returned home to find hubby in the kitchen surrounded by lights, yes lights........ so spent the next hour fitting up the new lights he had purchased, the thing is he never tells me has even brought any new lights.... but I must admit they do look rather lovely........ after the kitchen was put back in order, decided to retire to my craft studio, and divulge in a bit of crafting....... and joined in with the fun over at christmascardchallenges. and my design is below......

Good Afternoon Readers,

Well my Sticky Post is no longer I am pleased to say I have filled my DT Posts for my New Challenge Blog  Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge Blog, which goes live on Saturday November 2nd........at the moment I am busy sorting out schedules and sponsors, but I am enjoying every moment, of course I have had some blips along the way......  well the weather here in my little corner of Cornwall is much better than yesterday, sunshine with some cloud, but a bit on the chilly side, I think Autumn is here....... the night's are drawing in and the morning's are darker, but I do love this time of year........ anyhoo what you all up to this weekend....... I am staying indoors it might be safer...... I think my Friday 13th has spilled over to the 14th.... as my regular readers will know, I had a slight accident at work last week, and ended up at minor injuries, well today I fell over up the yard, and have quite a large bruise on my knee, and a graze on each hand, I am sure I saw my horse snigger, at me lying sprawled on the concrete....... so I quickly got up and brushed myself down, hoping that nobody saw me......... and then once safely at home !!!!!!!!! so I thought, I sliced my finger on a plastic container.....,... so I am hoping this is it, as things come in three's so they say, well I've had mine........ so before I go and do some more to my challenge blogs, I thought I would join in with the fun over at wickedwednesdayatc were last week I won thank you Ladies.....
so below is my entry for this challenge.......
