Alistair is away for a few days visiting his brother and they had planned to go down the coast, probably Ayr for a fish tea. Karen was taking the day off to drive them down and have the day there, well that's knocked on the head as the rain in the Central Belt is just as bad. Jim is doing well and not having any side effects from the chemo which continues to be good, of course he may be one of these folks who manage to escape the nasty harsh effects of the treatment, let's hope so.
Anyway Teallach and I are just chilling...chilling is definitely the word as it's got so cold again, still I'm getting things done around the house and crafting done.
I have a card today that I'm entering into;
http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2019/03/week-513-use-yellow.html
Isn't this a gorgeous stamp? Floral Perfumery from Chocolate Baroque, and I've used Gansi Tambie water colour paints in pearl shades. the background is a brocade stamp which is also from CB and the colours are Distressed inks.
Paper is from Crafty Individuals Spring paper bad. Lemon and lilac card. A few sequins to finish.
I hadn't noticed that I'd got Puss in the photo too, so just decided to leave him there
Disappointing that the colours are not showing up as vivid as they really are in reality, don't know if it's my camera, or the light, but more than likely it's just my pants photography.
Thank you for all the lovely comments on my last card, you are all so very kind and I do so appreciate every word.
I've made a pan of lentil soup for later, when Alistair is away I tend to eat insensibly, not good for a person with diabetes, but I can never be bothered to cook for one, but reckoned that soup would be fit the bill especially today when it's such a dreich day.
Well crafty friends, that's me for now, I hope you are enjoying your day whatever your doing, take care and see you soon,

Hi Kate. Yes, this is a gorgeous stamp. Lovely colours and design, my friend. I love your beautiful card.
It is spring in Greece, so we have a wonderful day with sunshine.
Chill out, my friend!!!
I am glad that Jim is doing well. We already have to think positive.
And I lllllllllove Puss. Give him a hug from me! Kisses!!!!!!!
They are beautiful stamps Kate and make such lovely cards....it’s been hail here...and sooo cold again,it was 18c on Monday and it’s 5c today....back on with the hearing and an extra woolly....xxx
Hola Kate! El sello es muy bonito y el colorido que le has dado me gusta mucho, es cierto que hay veces que en las fotos no se aprecia lo bonito que es un trabajo, pero imagino que en vivo es aún mejor! La tarjeta es preciosa, y a Puss se le ve muy cómodo, jaja! Me alegro que a Jim le esté yedo todo bien!
Un beso
Gorgeous image, beautifully coloured, and a really lovely card. We were supposed to have snow overnight but it didn't materialise, although there was quite a hard frost. Hope your weather brightens up soon. I'm so glad that Jim seems to be dealing with his chemo so well. So far so good, and let's hope it continues. John's friend's brother has also just undergone chemo and radiotherapy for an oesphageal tumour, and he went through it really well. When you think of how it could affect you they are lucky - which sounds stupid, but I think you know what I mean. Hugs Christine xx.
Dreich day here too Kate, miserable and cold, have to say the hot sunny yellow in your card cheered me up, gorgeous stamps and papers a real beauty
Absolutely gorgeous, the background looks great and it is a wonderful image too.

I can confirm that Ayr is wet and wild today Kate x What a fantastic stamp, so beautiful and eye catching. Love the pretty colours you've used and the paper is wonderful too. Such a stunning and feminine card x.
So glad Jim is tolerating the chemo and enjoy your Lentil soup x

Pretty much the same weather here today. I got the hot pot out this morning and threw in a a tin of thick veggie soup and some chicken pieces and left it to cook all day. Jut had it now and the chicken was so tender and falling apart. Told The Doc to leave the hot pot out (once it comes out of the dishwasher) and will use it again tomorrow. Got my duvet duck down booties on tonight whilst sitting typing this. The weather really has turned cold again.
Did a quick run down to the local shops this afternoon for essentials so don't need to venture out gain till Saturday. Craft room here I come!!!!
Love your beautiful card. Coloured in so perfectly. Hugs Mrs A.
Good new about Jim, hope he continues with no side effects. Very pretty card. Hope you enjoyed your soup, can’t beat homemade.

Wow, loving this card, so brilliantly created.xx
Turned much the same here as well Kate and a really hard frost this morning again, but we do sit very low here in the Fens and seem to get them when others escape.
You have done a beautiful job with these new CB stamps, I enjoyed working with them as they are that little bit different aren't they. Many thanks for joining in our 'Use Yellow' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.
