Autumn Sentiment and a Bright Pair of Socks!

Good Evening to you all, and I do hope it is a good evening, in fact a good day and that you have had time to do a bit of crafting.

It's been another lovely day here in Inverness, lovely and sunny and warm without the strong breeze of yesterday.  We went for a walk around the Culloden Battlefield in the afternoon, and although been there loads of times I've never walked right the way around, I could never see the point of it, and the weather was always pants, but today it was just a lovely walk, with lots of blue sky. We live a stone's throw away so it was not a big drive to it and it was just an outing to blow away some cobwebs.

I didn't manage to make a card today, I was finishing off my socks and here they are, dark shades on please,

Photo a wee bit blurred, but i was taking the shot from a strange angel as I was modeling them as you can see.  I bought the wool in Iceland and although I like it, it's not the softest of yarn.  
I am now going to tackle the lacey wrap that has been on the pins for ever, but as it's patterned, and I need to concentrated, it's still might take a long time in the finnishing.

This card I made the other week and it's using the free stamps from Creative Stamping Magazine, I have really just copied the example of the card in the magazine by Kim Dellow, just using different papers and sparkle.  I was trying out the masking technique for the stamps, never done before, and it took me a few times to get it right, but it's not too bad, anyway, here it is;

I think the stamps are so worth the money for the magazine and I think this sentiment is so lovely.

Twine, buttons and pearls from my box

Sue, at Olliesmam used these stamps a few days ago and made a gorgeous card, I think it's great to see all the different ways the stamps can be used.

I hope you like it and I would just like to thank you all for the lovely comments on my previous card, and the kind comments on Alistair's lovely gift of jewellery.

That's me, off to put my feet up and watch a bit of telly,
Hugs Kate x
