My First Blog!

Welcome to my first ever blog!!  The aim of the blog is for family and friends to have a peak at my life here in Spain with Frank, in our lovely home which we share with two crazy rescue kitties, Mishka and Ginger .



Sunset at Los Gavilanes in August

 This is the view from our porch where we sit most evenings looking back on our day.  At the moment it´s lovely and cool after a very hot sunny day, with the sound of crickets everywhere.

I made the little card shown below earlier today for my friend Jan´s birthday.  Turquoise is one of her favourite colours.  It´s made from a "colour catcher" (used to catch colour running from dark coloured clothes in the washing machine) which I use to wipe up excess paint from my brush and paint palette when I  work on a project.  This is backed with felt and a motif has been worked on a separate piece of felt, then attached to the background.  Further embellishment finishes the little card off, using sequins and machine embroidery.
