About Me

My photo
My name's Alison but for reasons too long to go into I'm known as Cockney Blonde or CB for short. I've been rubber stamping for several years but now spend most of my time either knitting or crocheting. However, with the advent of a New Year I have bitten the bullet and am tackling my usually hated pastime of sewing. I've even bought 'Sewing for Dummies' to guide me on my way. I've been with my hubby Dave for 24 years and between us we have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. We also have 2 cats and a dog, the latter features as my 'photo' image. I used to be able to blog daily but these days I struggle to blog weekly. Hopefully now we are settled into our new home in the country, I can get back to a daily (well almost) update from the room I now have to share with hubby. No more personal crafting space for me!!! Thanks to all the blogs and sites I follow for all your brilliant inspiration, and thank you to everyone who finds the time to comment on my blog.

I'm Still Here

I can't believe how long its been since I last posted. Unfortunately since that time I have lost my other very dear Auntie and no sooner had we had the funeral that my Mum became very poorly, and this is what is taking all my time at the moment.
I have been trying to do some crafting, as and when, and in a moment of looking for inspiration I decided to recycle an old clip frame by creating an ATC collage. All the pieces of artwork are by the talented ladies over at Katys Corner UK. There was no preference of style or artist in selecting the ATCs, purely the colour combo I was trying to achieve.
Just thought I would share it here with you all.
Hopefully I will be back to blogging more regularly soon.
