just chatting

Hi everyone
I am so sorry that there has been a couple of days gap - couple? ........ 3 in fact!

Thursday was a busy day for me - but we had a great evening at the Mold club meeting & I took photos to show you. Then I had another busy day yesterday (Friday).  I was taking several ladies to a meeting in Welshpool which meant a reasonably early start.  I know 8am is not early - but I was picking several people up on the way & had to be there for 10am.  Then event was quite busy & tiring followed by a lunch & more meeting.  After which I had to bring everyone home.  I got home about 5:30.  Now that is one of the longest days I have spent in a while so I was rather tired.

I managed to get some of the photos from Thursday night sorted - but wasn't left with enough time to pop them here.

Then today (Saturday) - well that has been spent trying to finalise the materials for the last part of the wedding cake.  My god-daughter has now made her decision on flowers ....................... and................ it wasn't tulips.  It is a flower called Lisianthus (think I have spelt that right).

So! Whilst Bob & Gareth were watching Wales win the Grand Slam - Nadine & I went back over to Lady Heyes Craft Centre & the sugarcraft shop there for me to get some advice.  Tomorrow I hope to have a "dry" run on making one of these flowers.  So! watch this space.  There are now 21 days left to complete this cake.

I am sorry that this has meant that your information has slipped a bit behind time.  But the photos for both the Show & Tell, & the Project for the evening for Mold have been loaded onto my computer & are ready for blogging.  This I will do first thing tomorrow morning before I get way laid by a wedding cake.  Here is a Lisianthus;



Never made one before - keep your fingers crossed for me.  Mind you they are beautiful aren't they?

Well done Wales!


That's me for tonight - hope your weekend is going well.  Have lots of fun.

Night night & sleep well.

 Good afternoon ladies this afternoon I have the photos from the CSNW S&T for June. The theme I set was any theme of their choosing but using the colours red, white & blue.  Here are their cards.

Gwen Beautiful embossed card & flowers which have been decoupaged Joan A stepper card with a beautiful circular central topper. Thank you ladies for sending them in - certainly very different styles today. So! - Last post? Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
