About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

Brrrr.....

Brrr...this little fella looks freezing but according to Meljen's Designs he's a 'Cosy Winter Owl'. Ah bless. Perhaps his hat and scarf are keeping him warm. I was so lucky to be able to choose 4 digi images from Meljen's Designs as a challenge prize for last week's ABC 'O' for Old-Fashioned. I'll try and showcase the other 3 images asap.

Anyhow, this is the first of 2 posts this evening which I'm getting in quick before the Ice Dancing starts. I hope you've all had a good weekend.

I've coloured the little fella with copics: E93, 50, 51, 53, 31, 15, 18, C3, R24, 27, YG03 and added some stickles to the snow and his pom pom to give him some bling, lol.

The DP are by Kars 'X-mas Collection'.
