All stitched up


 Good morning, is it just me or has it been a long week so far??? Probably something to do with the early starts- the kitchen fitters arrive at death o'clock in the mornings. I am not a morning person. Th novelty of doing the washing up in the bathroom has definitely lost its appeal... but not complaining, soon (please!!!) I will have a lovely new kitchen with a sink and taps and an oven and all those luxuries that we take for granted until we don't have them, so counting blessings!

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Fab'n' Funky, hosted this fortnight by our lovely and talented Pat K. who has chosen the theme of Stitching- real or faux.

I used an older stamp from Wee Stamps, coloured with markers, papers from stash, one panel embossed with a heart EF. I added a stamped sentiment and a little wooden button tied with twine. The stitching is course faux- I am far too lazy for real stitching even though it does look lovely!

There's some fabulous inspiration from the rest of the team over at Fab'n' Funky Challenge Blog so do hop over for a visit, hope to see you play along this fortnight.

Thanks for visiting

Chris

LOve your colours and design Chris.
I keep seeing Tilda's at the moment I have a drawer full that never sees the light of day, so nice to see oldies showing their face.

Great card Chris love the layout and the cute image. Hope you are soon in your beautiful new kitchen with no workmen around, I am afraid the older I get the less I want any work doing which interferes with my daily life.
