More cards

 I'm having the Friday ladies around a few times at the moment, so I thought I'd expand the working space in the Owlery a little. Added a new fold-out table and folded down the cutting table. Thirteen of us fitted around the table - cosy!
Spent a few mornings making cards, using the new Kaisercraft range in delicate silver and lilac/purple.
Then I discovered a goodie bag with Tim Holtz embellishments and played with those too.
My friend Mary put me on to these glitter foam pages, which are wonderful to use in the Sizzix. They work really well with dies, because the foam squishes down and is easily cut by the die. The only problem is sticking the cut outs down on paper, because sometimes
 they are very delicate. Haven't yet found a good adhesive for these.
Have started a Christmas table runner and the fourth block of my Kim McLean quilt. Photos next time.
Had a lonesome Ibis in the paddock the other day; usually they arrive in large flocks, but this one was all alone. Hope he'll find a flock again.

  1. Lovely to have a gathering at the Owlery Donna, you have made many beautiful cards there. Maybe that Ibis was having time out from the flock 😆😆
