Lola


Hello All,

I am back from my hols, I managed to get down there, but had to take medication to stop me from being sick... once I got there I spent the whole time lying on the sofa! and I wasn't well enough to sit and colour, however I did complete my cross stitch, this used to be my main hobby before I discovered papercrafting, I dont do it as much now but I still always have one on the go! ...... I want to do one for baby, but after trawling the Internet I love anything really girly, or something like Cars, so I have decided to wait until I know what it is before starting one, knowing me it will be about 10 before I have it completed!!!!! ...... this one is meant to have beading on it to, but I have lost the packet of beads so I will have to wait until a later date! She is "Marilyn Robertson - Lola"

I actually had a good day yesterday, so we started moving my craft stuff into the loft, by that I mean I managed to get in the loft without being sick, and I sat on a chair wrapped in a blanket whilst my poor hubby came up and down the loft with endless boxes and then I pointed out where I wanted them put ..... Its actually looking really good, I love the quirky feel to it, I think its quite "Artsy!" I have just ordered a Ottlite, so I have decent lighting for colouring, as that will be the main problem working in the loft.

I am still playing catch up with you all (the story of my life!!) but I should get round to see you soon.

Thanks for looking
Hugs Juls

  6. Hi Juls, that's a gorgeous image. I used to cross-stitch before I started card making as well and I also planned to get something done for the baby's arrival - she is now 4 and the 'something' a throw for the bed, is still half finished in the cupboard!!! Hope your meds continue to work for you and the sickness eases. Best wishes, Sarah

  9. oh lord Juls, you'll be glad when this is all over! hope you start feeling better soon. funny how so many of us did x-stitch before paper crafting. I love the shading on this one - gorgeous colours. I've bought a floor standing ottlite too this year - it's far and away the best craft light I've ever bought.

  17. Stunning work Juls and such a beautiful design...it would go well with the decor in my bedroom lol! Sorry to hear you are still suffering with morning sickness...I had it really bad with my two and I lived on pear drops which helped stop the constant retching! Sounds like your craft space is coming along nicely...I've just ordered a new daylight lamp too...I can't wait for it to arrive, I think it will transform my life...how sad am I lol! :) Donna ♥ x

  23. I still have loads of x-s to do, so many kits and three on the go which haven't been touched for ages, cardmaking is so much quicker isn't it! Just love this piece, I'm going to walk away now as I do not want to get any more to stitch LOL!

  36. This is lovely Juls. I used to do cross stitch but haven't picked it up for years.

    Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time with the sickness, I really do feel for you. I must admit I'd quite like another baby but the thought of going through another pregnancy puts me (and hubby!) right off... I think we're probably done! Lisa x
