Saturday, 25 February 2012. Or you persist, and make your first scarf for your Barbie, Sindy, Tiny tears or teddy. You are so proud! And scarves of course and always have something on the go. So this is back to basics - a garter stitch scarf which I am very pleased with. It will be on its way to Glasgow soon as a belated birthday present for my step daughter who is kindly grateful for everything I make for her. What are the chances of that! Sunday, 12 February 2012. Colourful world on a grey day. Today I...

Cherry Tree: August 2011
http://cherrytreehandmades.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 August 2011. I am continuing to experiment with paper and stitching and treated myself to the latest cloth paper and scissors. This card has been made bits of an old postcard (well a copy of it! And some white cotton I have, plus a tiny piece of vintage tray cloth. The flowers are made from some gauzy fabric from a scarf I found in Help the Aged, (new actually! Besides, it's good to reinvent things. I have drawn on the card and distressed it with gold just to add to the texture. Wwwcherrytreeh...

Cherry Tree: June 2011
http://cherrytreehandmades.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 June 2011. Or seeing what can be done with paper, maps and newspaper. I am thinking about the transient nature of flowers and enjoying sticking, gluing, tearing up strips and all that as well as working with cups of tea, both for real and otherwise. It's the day to day, mundane and what is around rather than looking for some Holy Grail. I intend to make a papier mache cup and saucer, and instead of tea, the cup will be filled with gold and inspiring words of wisdom. The cup that cheers!

Cherry Tree: January 2011
http://cherrytreehandmades.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 2 January 2011. I see I have been far too busy to blog and no wonder. Amy is out of hospital but due for a transplant in a few weeks. She has done brilliantly and we have had some scary moments but met some wonderful caring nursing staff at the MRI. Crafty wise it's been all about ACEO's! Wow I love these little tiny pictures only 2.5 and 3.5 and there are some amazing ones around. It's whole new field for me brought into spotlight by teabreaks. Who has done this tree in springtime which I love:.

Friday, 11 February 2011. I am very proud to have been awarded this award by the lovely blog Creating Trouble. Now, being a little cynical, although flattered to have been awarded it I almost didn't respond to it as it feels a little too much like hard work for my liking. Then I thought about how I felt when I received the 'nomination' for a Stylish Blogger Award! So I decided to join in! There are 4 things that you have to do. They are as follows. 2 Share 7 things about yourself. mmmm here goes! 3 Award...

Cherry Tree: October 2011
http://cherrytreehandmades.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 October 2011. Back to the needles! My son has just been to New York and I am hoping he will bring me a NY times, which I have a mind to use in a newspaper teacup. I am getting a bit bored of the Daily Mail which my Mum in law let's us have (primarily for Mr D'Arcey's litter tray.) I really fancy doing some little naieve pictures on this tea-cup-to-be but kind of washed out, so the paper shines through. Just found this lovely drawing of a lurcher. Yesterday I had another look here. Wow what a 6 ...

The Emporium of Curiosities: June 2011
http://theemporiumofcuriosities.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The Emporium of Curiosities. Friday, 17 June 2011. Challenge 52 - week 10 - new card and gift tags. It's fairly quiet in the Emporium at the moment, as I'm preparing for the start of the Summer Fete season with my jewellery. I have three local fetes lined up so have been stocktaking and making as many new things as I can - better to be overflowing than run out! So far and will endeavour to make a few more once I've got all the jewellery sorted. I've got a week to go. I listed a card on Folksy. Pass along...

Cherry Tree: Giant lions and insipid lunch
http://cherrytreehandmades.blogspot.com/2012/05/giant-lions-and-insipid-lunch.html
Sunday, 6 May 2012. Giant lions and insipid lunch. Well here is the story http:/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17915318. That made me say 'ooh let's go to Chatsworth this weekend! So we set out ignoring the fact it is Bank Holiday weekend and there was a massive jam at Bakewell (talking of jam I made the strawberry variety this weekend having tried the weightwatcher's version and decided, never again.), and arrived. Chatsworth. Shop as my folksy shop is slowly becoming empty. And here are pictures of them. Wwwch...
