Not a Sewing Bee, More of a Sewing Mice!

Hello Crafty Friends and Visitors, I hope you are all well, but sending kind thoughts if your not.
It's a wee while since I've managed to post anything, I don't know where the time is going, but it's not in crafting that's for sure.  I've only one in the bank, so to speak and it's the one I will show today. I seemed to have slowed right down, and I don't know when I last entered a challenge.  I must get my thinking cap on though for making a leaving card for my friend and colleague Karen.

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my last card, I do appreciate the time it takes but for me it makes it all worth while.

After all our hard work it is the Choral Society's big concert tomorrow, and I am really looking forward to it as it's a wonderful piece of music we are singing, Mendelssohn's Elijah, and tomorrow at the dress rehearsal will be the first time of hearing it with the orchestra.  I normally buy the CD of the music we are learning, but this time around I didn't, I just trusted to learning without it.  We practise with the piano so having the full orchestra will be astounding.  It's a big sing though, I lost my voice at the last rehearsal when I stretched for a note completely off the stave, I just felt something go in my throat, I'll have to go easy tomorrow.

I'm on holiday now, my first since the beginning of the year and I'm looking forward to a rest and a bit of crafting, but other than that I've no hard and fast plans.
Here is my card;

This card is for my friend Dale's birthday, she doesn't look at my blog so it's safe to post it here.  She is a sewer hence the theme of the card.

Before I go, here are a couple of photos taken at our friend's croft last weekend.  They have a magnificient new turkey who was really strutting his stuff, and loads of new lambs from their Zwarblies flock, and once again got a cuddle with one, but what a strong wee beastie he was, took me all my time to hold him;

Hope you like the photos, I'll say cheerio for now and hope you all have a great weekend.
