Project Teddy Bear - nothing left to latch hook! Now all I have to do is cut him out, stuff him and sew him up. Mark has been out, in meetings all day and I didn't feel confident cutting teddy up and sewing him up without him here in case I did something wrong so I have got on with other things today instead. Our street is still covered in ice and I don't feel confident driving in it so I have stayed in all day instead. I felt justified in my decision when Mark came home and tried to reverse onto the drive but skidded on ice and crashed into the kerb, all OK thankfully but I'm not risking it! Good job there were no cars parked on the other side of the road.
I started reading Pride & Prejudice earlier my favourite classic novel. I will be following this at some point with Dracula and Wuthering Heights my second and third favourite novels. I love my Kobo!
We left the option of swimming lessons open to the kids, I would have been happy to stay at home in the warm. Silly question.......................... of course they wanted to go swimming! Good job Mark was back in time to drive and thankfully no damage done to his car earlier with the kerb incident!

Boofle Gift tag
I made my mom a birthday card today, she will be 60 in April!
Remember the gift tags I brought 10 for 10p? I thought this tag would make a nice card for my mom.

Firstly I cut the "mummy" wording off the bottom and mounted Boofle onto pink gingham paper.
I added a sticker sentiment "To my dearest mum" onto a piece of matching paper.

Secondly I embossed a pink card with flowers in each corner and a polka dot line down each of the four sides to frame Boofle.
These were stuck down to the front of the card......
Although the card was pretty I thought it needed jazzing up a bit!
A button on the flower and sequins were used to embellish Boofles tag and a sequin used in the centre of each of the embossed flowers to pull it altogether........
I am still debating whether or not to put a "60" sticker under the written sentiment. I don't know whether she will appreciate that or not!
