Oh grief ... almost another two months disappeared into nowhere as far as blogging is concerned! Again we have been busy bees, not helped by Misha who I am sure thinks that she is Stirling Moss at times. She likes to muscle in on all the acts that go on in our household and is not too pleased when she is ignored!
She is not longer the tiny ball of fluff, skin and bones that she was when we found her in the nettle patch at the bottom of the garden and we are pretty sure that we know who the Mummy is due to her increasing Siamese looks and characteristics! The question is ...... WHO'S THE DADDY?!!! Again, we THINK we know who it is but not sure on that one. If it is our prime suspect then his name is Hitch and he roams around the lane by the cottage!
WHO'S THE DADDY?
So .... because of the fact that this really should be a crafting blog, I have a confession to make ... I haven't done much! I seem to go in fits and starts and lose my mojo at regular intervals, after which I have a growth spurt (a bit like Misha!). Some of this is because my back has been giving me some major grief over the last few weeks and as I mainly craft standing up, the times when I have been *pain-free* enough to do it have been fairly few and far between.

I have, however managed to wrap presents and make mini Christmas cakes to give away as gifts to family and neighbours ... again with Misha giving a helping paw. I am not sure if she is a help or a hindrance but she is very entertaining.
WRAPPING CHRISTMAS CAKES
Anyhow, whilst we were up at the cottage the other week (putting Christmas decorations up) we took a little trip out to Sir Stampalot in Peterborough. Hmmm ... it was hubby's birthday and the poor darling took me craft shopping as a birthday outing! Whilst there I spotted some easel cards that had been made and when we got home I searched online and found some which arrived two days later. I have been playing with them this week and these are what I have come up with. They look a bit naff in the photos but IRL look luverly! One is a footprints one, where I have put small seashells on the *canvas* and the other was done with various dies. Each can be removed from the card and used as a standalone altered easel.

Phew, that's my catch-up for today!
