City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 170 ~ Summertime!

Wendy is our lovely host this week at


She challenged us to make a project that says

Summertime

Summertime might be beach house vacation for some, flip-flops, watermelon and BBQ for some, but for me, strawberries always pop up when I think of Summertime

Here again, using my favorite strawberry stamp set to make a set of card for Clare


with matching envelopes


I had an old projects that left me with lots of these white cardstock frames


great time to use them


this is a quick and easy project since I have those frames all ready to be used


I make 6 cards with different sentiments 






Come on and join us





Guten Tag!

Greetings from Grafing, Munich

We flew into Frankfurt, and then took a train from Frankfurt to Munich


if you haven't know yet, taking train rides is one of my favorite thing to do in Europe

{lap top, glasses, note pad, pen and my new hat get to ride along}


See! this is why I love train rides in Europe


Endless scene of beauty..... little German town are among my favorites!

Our Beautiful World Week 5 ~ Waiting


is a place where you can share photographs taken by you from your part of the world


We have a new word prompt every Sunday

and this week is chosen by Ros

Waiting

Like many mothers, when my children were young, I was the "chaufeur" to drive them to school, and then after school classes, ballet, piano lesson etc. So what you do when you have wait at the cafe for them? I usually bring something to do while waiting, like a book, or a small crotchet project.


now this stack of granny square has a lot to do with waiting


I started this project a few months ago when we had a road trip (I like to do something in the car so I can stay awake and keep my husband company while he does the driving), it is meant for the bed in our guest room, my plan was a 15x3 granny squares decorative item at the end of the bed spread, well.... it didn't look as nice as it was in my head,  as I think it looked too small on the queen size bed, so I wanted to crotchet more squares and make it into a cover instead, went to Michael's and look for the same yarn but they were out, so now what?

I guess all I could do is just

WAIT
