Lily

Yesterday was a sad day as we lost Lily. Way back in 2014 I adopted two cats, Mum Cleo and daughter Lily. They had been rescued from a shed. Cleo and her litter of seven. Lily was the only female kitten. When I got her she was very, nervous and spent the first few weeks hiding on the top of the cupbards in the utility room.  Over time she settled down but was always nervous of strangers and even of us at times, but was also a bit adventurous and loved being outside.  If the door was shut so that she couldn't get to the cat flap, she would really howl and cry!

We didn't see her at all on Tuesday and normally you could set your watch be her if it was food time, so we were a bit concerned and even more so when there was no sign of her yesterday morning. Then a neighbour phoned to say that Lily was in her carport. We went round thinking she mst be hurt as otherwise she would have run away. Sadly she had died, obviously trying to find her way home. The vet said it was almost certain she had been hit by a car even though there were no obvious injuries, apart from her claws.
She was a real witches cat with a ridiculously long tail which tended to send things flying off the coffe table.
Rest in peace Lily, we miss you.

Happy Post!

A Happy New Year to you all!

I am thrilled to tell you that I am now part of the Happy Little Stampers Design Team, and today it's time for the first challenge of 2018.


I used a NBUS Uniko stamp called Floral Lily which I embossed in Pewter, and coloured with Distress Oxides.
I'm afraid the photo is really rubbish, due to trying to take it amongst all the builders' disruption. I will be so VERY glad when they have finished, I can get my house back and my new craft room - can't wait!

I do hope you will join in the challenge, theres lots of lovely inspiration for you.

Less is More - Colour Challenge

Less is More have a
"Colour Challenge 
this week we have chosen  the wonderful  the Spring colours of 
YELLOW and GREEN "

 For a change I'm not joining in right at the last minute! I had this image stamped out on my desk left over from making a ympathy card a few months ago, so I decided to make another one to have to hand - just in case. This is one of my "go to" stamps for sympathy cards.

  It's from Little Claire Designs and was one of their monthly kit stamps a couple of years ago. I used a stitched square die from L'il Inkers and coloured it with SU's blendabilities.
