Tilda & Some Sad News xxx

Well firstly, the good news.

Here's me card for this weeks Just Magnolia challenge, which this week is paper piecing. I LOVE this technique, I really do.

So natch, I coloured Tilda with PMs and loads of Glamour Dust and I paper pieced her welly boots - funky or what!!! Those gorgoeus papers are Daisy Bucket So Happy Together and Doodlebug Ladybug Picnic. Both these fabby papers are available at Dies To Die For so check them out lovelies.

There is something so striking about red, black and white and I think it has to be one of my fave colour combis.

You can see the papers a bit better here. Ohh I just noticed that you can also see the flippin glue from the black stick ons. That'll teach me to check the edited pics more carefully!!!!

I punched out the flowers and I added one of me charms - I am so into them at the mo.

And there you go.
I have to say that I really like this - apart from the glue. I dont often really like what I've done cos I am so picky with my stuff, but I am almost 100% happy with this one.

...........................................

Now, brace yourself for some bad news. If you are of a nervous disposition, don't look ......


Shock horror.

My sodding punch is broken.

My beloved doily punch is no more.

Sorry peeps if you thought it was something BAD.
I mean it is BAD for me but then again, I need to get out more!!!! .

Oh I could have cried. I was doing my good deed for the day and punching out some borders for someone who I promised them to ages ago, and it was playing up again - it does this when I over work it. Well I thought it was just having another one of its diva strops, but no. The next thing I knew, it had come apart in my hand.

Mon Dieu!!!!

Luckily for moi, the wonderful Tracy at Dies To Dies For is expecting some more some day soon so I can get a new one then. Phew, bless ya Tracy cos I would have really gone into meltdown and it aint good for me blood pressure at the mo.

So there ya go.

We are off to the theatre tonight. Before you think I've gone all cultured, it's only a local theatre. Some bloke who Richard works with is directing this play so he, Richard, has kindly volunteered us to go and see it. It is apparently a murder mystery, and if turns out to be dreadful then there will indeed be a murder. There will however be no mystery about it cos I will ruddy kill his Lordship!!!!

Bless him!!!!

Back soon but ITMT, enjoy your Friday night xxxxxx
