365 Somethings 99-110, some Crochet, and a Birthday Card

 Hello Friends.

It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted. I've had some health issues and hospital visits to deal with, but I'm getting through it the best I can. Autoimmune diseases are a pain!

I'm still trying to keep up with my collages, so here are another 3 sets of them for Daisy Yellow Art's 365 Somethings challenge.

I've also been crocheting various things for a man at my church to take out to Ukraine, hats, scarves, blankets, and recently some bright and cheery flower brooches. We've started a little knitting and crochet group at church to do this.

Finally, here's a first birthday card I made for my friend's little grandson. I knitted a cardigan for him too, but silly me forgot to take a photo.

 Thanks for visiting today.

100 Days of Stamp Carving - 78-84, and a Surprise for Sheila

 Hello Everyone!

I'm back today with my next instalment of my hand-carved stamps. It's getting close to the end now, less than 20 to go!

Some more mark-making stamps, another leaf and face, and a stylised tulip to add to the collection. I love them all!

I also recently carved a stamp for my lovely blog friend Sheila of Orange Esmeralda, who expressed an interest in one of my stamps. I carved another design on the reverse of the stamp. Since I used an eraser, there was plenty of thickness to do this. 

I can show them to you now, since the package arrived safely with Sheila yesterday.

I didn't want Sheila's Teddy friends to miss out, so I crocheted them all a little flower brooch.

And I made a special card to send to Sheila too, using some of my hand-made washi tapes.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend,

Thanks for dropping by,
