Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon everyone on another hot sultry day. I have got a little behind with showing member showcases & the things they have been maing during the lock-down - so I must try & catch up.  At the moment I get so caught up trying to get on top of my various projects it slips my mind.  So, my apologies. Here is the first one & it is from Sheelagh of Mold club. Now Sheelagh does a lot of crafting for charities & this photo of things she has been making deserve a rather large WOW! Sheelagh said her brother had handed her some wool - so she set too & used it. Everything is fabulous Sheelagh you have been busy. That's it today ladies.  'Bye for now & enjoy your weekend.

............ to while away the time. Today I have photos from Dot of Mold II group showing what she has been doing. She has been making doll's clothes; Here is what Dot said in her email; "I've not had a chance to do much in my craft room as I'm still sewing scrub bags  f or the NHS nurses. So far I've made 83 bags!   I'm having next week off from sewing as I need to clean the house  up as it's been neglected of late.  I have made a few little doll clothes too for my 7yr old granddaughter  in the hope that it will detract her from playing on her tablet (see attached).   As I don't see her too often I will pop these in the post and get her mum to video her  reactions for me when she opens her parcel.  I just wish I could deliver them in person.   Hopefully this lockdown will end soon and we can all get our lives back. I'm so looking forward to seeing all the craft group ladies onc...

..... to while away the time. Well actually that should have read ... "What have I been doing....." It is amazing the things I have found that were part finished/started. Stamped images not used.  Then when I started using them - the embellishments I realised I had got.  Some boxes on my shelves have been opened over the last weeks for the first time in possibly a couple of years.  Certainly many months. Here is some of my work; An image I found in a box, now mounted on black card & twine added. Plus a background stamp that goes so well, that I had never used. Some Christmas napkins, that I bought at least a year ago, along with quite a few other designs. Now - they look like this ....... Christmas card 1 Christmas card 2 I actually made a set of 6. Now what shall I do tomorrow? Hope you are all safe & well. 'Bye for now.

.... to while away the time. Good afternoon everyone.  Something a little different today, but very topical, - this is from Dot of Mold II group; this is what Dot had to say -  "As everyone seems to be doing kind, caring deeds for their community I decided to pull out my sewing machine and make some clothes bags for our NHS nurses to carry their infected uniforms to and fro.  Their uniforms are popped into the bags and the whole lot is then put into their washing machines and laundered.  I've managed to make 23 so far and Ceri is also making some too, along with my friend, Lynne.  Between the three of us we should get approx 50." Well done Dot, Ceri & Lynne. That's me for today - 'Bye.

.................... to while away the time. Good morning. Back on the 2nd April I showed some photos of cards that Carolyn of Mold II group had made during a face time session with her friend Janice.  Carolyn later sent me some photos of Janice's card. So today I am going to show them here.  Look at all these lovely cards. In the front of this photo are the cards that Carolyn did with Janice on face time. Look at this table full My, you have been busy Janice. Thank you for allowing me to show your work on our blog. Keep safe & well. That's me for today Bye for now.

.......... to while away the time. Hello again. Today I have a member showcase from Sheelagh of Mold group, to show you. Sheelaghs comment that accompanied the photos - "2 new simple cards" Simple they may be Sheelagh but they are delightful Thank you for sharing. I have lost track of the days of the week, or possibly even the weeks.  We are now in our third week of isolation & it seems so much longer. But I think I can remember correctly that today is the day for the CSNW April Show & Tell cards.  I have received a photo of one so far.  Hope the rest turn up soon. Sadly I had to make a sympathy card yesterday as we heard that a lady from our lunch group lost her husband to Covid-19 on Monday.  It really hits home when it is someone you know.  Stay safe & well everyone please. 'Bye for now.

.... to while away the time. Hi everyone. Today I have some photos of cards made by Dot of Mold II group.  Whenever Dot sends me these sort of photos she always explains about them.  So at the end of the photos I will copy her email comments. Card 01 front Card 01  inside "Hi Gloria, here's another card I have made this week.  This one is for my grandson who will be 10 next week.   I drew a smaller version of a rocket template and raised it up on sticky pads  and coloured in a fire stream. On the inside of the card I typed up some space facts  and found a picture of a moon landing and put a Happy Birthday Elliot  under the pole.   I was really pleased with this one as I was having brain fog wondering what to make for him. Take care, Dot x" ............................................ Card 02 "Hi, here's one of my latest cards for my son, Brandon, who is a keen cyclist...
