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.

Little Saint Nick

Good Evening Bloggers. I hope you've all had a good weekend. I know I promised you an update on the 'hole' and also some proper piccies of my spindle challenge but I'm afraid that will have to wait for another day.

I don't seem to have stopped crafting today, trying to get myself organised for the Christmas Fair at Mum's Nursing Home at the end of the month. Anyhow, I did find time to throw together this card for a few challenges.

The image is by Inkadinkadoo, the DP 'Jovial' by Basic Grey and the Christmas Tree is grungeboard coloured with adirondack dabber in Pool. I've added some sparkle and stickles and hope it will fall into the various challenges below.

Thanks for looking and I'll see you all tomorrow, x
