Le Challenge- Nature

I have just been able to squeeze in an entry to this month's Le Challenge - I came out of hospital for the third time in two months on Monday. I am pretty desperate to get back to normal, and crafting is getting back to normal for me. Before I was into hospital this time, I was planning on doing some printing for this month's challenge, but I just haven't had the time or energy to commit to it.

My eldest son, Albert started his GCSEs on Friday, so I have made him a four leafed clover good luck card. He is a lovely bright boy, but he has found it very stressful without me and revising for his exams too.

My Sissix Big Shot gave me four perfect heart shaped leaves (not sure what I used to do before My Big Shot!). I added a few stitches with embroidery thread for the paler ring that you get on clover.


I once found a four leaf clover when I was a child, on holiday in Austria, and kept it for years. Unfortunately, I think I may have left it in the attic of my old house.

Join in with next month's Le Challenge, by clicking on the link to the right. You can also see all the other entries this month. A new theme goes up on the 15 th of each month.

Love
Mrs Jones xx

      Thank you - I am still struggling with energy levels, so anything I make has to be quick and easy at the moment.

    lovely card. Exams are so stressful, and girls tend to let the stress out much more than boys! Hope the gcses go well for him.

      It is so nice to be back home with my family. Both my children have found it hard without a Mum being around.

      I think searching for four leaf clovers was something my parents suggested to stop us getting bored - it certainly worked. Thanks for your comment.

      Thank you - I am fairly desperate to get on with sewing a dress up that I have been planning in between hospital.

      He is finding some more challenging than others, but the good weather has also cheered him up no end.
