Good morning friends, romans and crafters. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Thank you for your best wishes for my hospital appointment this week. It was back to the eye clinic to see if my ocular hypertension had improved after using eye drops. I went armed with a wet wipe and tissue this time after looking like a jaundiced panda when I came out of the exam last time.
Fortunately, the pressures are down, not where they should be but better than they were.
Still have to use the drops (boo hiss) but I don't need to go back for 9 months.
Had a lovely lunch with Nesta on Wednesday at one of the Farmhouse Inn chain of pubs. Lovely carvery and the biggest cake slices I've ever seen (Yes, Anne, bigger than that one you're thinking of lol!!!) The whole cakes are the size of a small country.
Now, I am still working my way through John's Christmas show samples and I have another eclipse card, giving a lovely depth to the snowflakes.
Ingredients
White and green card
First Edition A Christmas Story paper pad
JND Snowflakes die
JND Festive Greetings
Red and green ribbon
The snowflakes on the paper are lovely and sparkly.
Well, the craft room move is nearly complete and I actually managed to make a card at my new desk yesterday. I have even managed to use my Go Press foiling machine for the first time too. Very impressed with it, I have to say. I feel I will be making good use of it.
Need to decide what window dressing to have. Obviously, there are curtains but I am also thinking of some voile for a bit of privacy.
I have a lot more observation space now and saw Flash behaving very suspiciously the other day. He pulled up one of his cars by the alleyway near his house, went around the back and loaded a few heavy black bags into the boot, whilst looking furtive..................Coincidentally, I haven't seen Mrs Flash for a few days!!!
Well, that's me for now. Hopefully seeing John so I can give him his card and pressies for his birthday on Sunday.
Hope you have a fab weekend..........an early rising one for me with the Japanese GP (as in F1 not my doctor as someone thought lol!!!)

Morning Ang, a very dramatic card with bold colours. Love it. Glad that you have some respite from appointments. Your ongoing observations of Flash, really make me laugh. Take care. Have a good day all. Bx
ReplyDeleteMorning Ang, such a delightful creation today I love these eclipse cards and your one i no exception.
ReplyDeleteGood news about the eye pressure so keep up with the drops, I know they can be a pain but they are working and not to go back for another 9 months is a bonus.
Hubby and I have our flu jabs tomorrow - they don't bother me and touch wood I never have any adverse reactions to them.
Your new room sounds wonderful, nice, big and bright. Give hug to john from me pleae xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Another great Eclipse card
ReplyDeleteCan you explain how you do yours ie do you use 2 pieces of card one for the background and one to create the eclipse OR cut it on one piece of card and almost paper piece it...?
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your new craft room but I bet you’ll end up crafting on a space about 4 inches big!
Lovely eclipse card today. I’ll have to get Anne to show me how to create one.
ReplyDeleteWhat adventures you have, but glad the eyes are settling down. There’s nothing like cake!

Love this card, Ang. I have only done "name" eclipse cards so far so this has given me more ideas.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to mention the cake - honest!
Take care

Hi Ang this is a stunning card I love the design and those snowflakes are gorgeous. I am so pleased that things went well for you at the hospital. Give my love to John when you see him. Have a great weekend. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs D, Just love this card,looks so elegant and the colour is stunning. Glad the hospital went well and good news about the eye pressures.Have a good day with John.Stay well but try to avoid too much flash as that may not be good for the eyes !!!
ReplyDeleteLots of Love Barbara D xx
Hello Ang,
ReplyDeleteA very stylish card today, if I may say so.
I reckon it's you keeping dabs on Flash which has caused your eye problems in the first place. Drops are a bore, but if they do the trick they are worth it. Love the thought of your Japanese GP as I'd also think "Doctor" and not motor racing.
love Maureen x
A lovely card Ang. Glad the hospital and eye appointments went well. Having my flu jab tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYou come up with some stunning designs Ang, gorgeous card. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Ang. My Mom has to use the drops all the time but it is so worth it to keep her eye pressure down. Love this card--so elegant! Have a great day.

Beautiful Christmas card today. I love the color and the snowflakes eclipsed.
ReplyDeleteI am glad your appointment went so well. Today I have my doctor visit and then I should be done for 6 months.Will be a good feeling, having it behind me.
Cake? That really would be good with my morning coffee. I imagine you had more with John. I am a day late as Sunday ended up being wild around here.
I don't know Mr. Flash but he sounds like someone who needs keeping an eye on.
Have a good start to your week,
Stephanie K
Gorgeous!!!!
