Hello there ... How are you? Well I hope
My hubby has been quite sick with a chest infection - We both took a couple of Covid tests and they were negative so he's also done a PCR test for which we are awaiting results...As luck would have it, the doctor phoned regarding a routine review of hubby's meds and he prescribed some antibiotics. Hopefully he will be up and about in the next few days. I'm exhausted going up and down the stairs (wearing a mask) Lol!
This month I have a few birthdays to accomodate, both male and female. First up I'm sharing the card I made for my friends' daughter
I drew a dress on a dress form and stenciled the balloons. Whilst I was painting this my brother rang so I was painting one handed whilst we chatted - Didn't turn out too bad and it's very sparkly
For my nephew I made a card similar to one I did earlier in the year
I stenciled the background, printed the drink from a digital and covered it with clear gloss E/P
I drew and painted the hat and the band around the hat is glossy but it doesn't show here.
And finally, I have been able to do some sewing though I can't sit for long so it's taken a few days to finish my last make, with a fleece lined sweatshirt fabric that I love... Here it is
That's it for now... I hope you enjoy your day, stay warm and safe

two great cards, I especially love your hat :)
Well done on the sewing, I just pulled out my machine for the first time in eons and made 2 dog coats for this winters torrential rains.
So sorry to here about DH and hope he recovers quickly x. What a girly and amazing blue dress and a very eye catching masculine birthday card. Love both of these cards Ros, you are so creative my friend x. You are going to need the wonderful fleece lined sweatshirt, this winter Ros, enjoy wearing it x. Sending hugs and love x.
Your creativity knows no bounds Ros...brilliant makes all of them! Hope hubby gets well for Christmas ad his PCR is negative. think of the stairs as your workout for the day...seriously, take care of yourself as well as hubby. xx
Your cards are FABULOUS as always Ros, and I'm totally loving your sweatshirt...hope it keeps you nice and toasty warm this Winter! Sending a few prayers for hubby to heal up quickly too! Hugs. :0)
I’m so sorry you’re husband is not well and hope he is on the mend very soon. Your makes are fab Ros and you are one very talented lady. Have a lovely Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year xx
Sorry to hear your hubby has been unwell and hope that he is soon feeling a lot better Ros. Both your cards are beautiful and a great combination of your own hand drawn images and the added stencilling and embellishments including that rather interesting drink in the glass. I love your fleecy lined top too, that will be lovely and warm and love the colour and design of the fabric. x
Well it seems you have still been very productive despite your nursing duties. I do hope he feels better soon. Two very special cards and what a cosy looking top, I bet you will get a lot of wear out of that. Well done xx
Hello my friend! I'm so sorry to hear about hubby and pray the PCR results are negative!! Please take care of yourself too ... it's a difficult task being a caregiver!
Your cards are AMAZING! LOVE the stenciled backgrounds and the foregrounds are just FABULOUS! LOVE the dress ... I'm sure it is GORGEOUS in real life and what an awesome idea for a masculine card ... VERY CREATIVE!! I'll say it again ... I ALWAYS draw inspiration from your creations ... thanks for that!!
Will pray for good health in your household and wishing you both a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Sorry to hear that your hubby is sick. I hope he feels better very soon! Your birthday cards are fabulous! Love the gorgeous dress! Awesome designed masculine card, too! And, what a wonderful top! It looks warm and cozy! Take care and Merry Christmas!!
Sorry to hear your DH is not well, Ros. I hope for his quick recovery. Going up and down the stairs must be hard on your back and legs too..
You can not only sew well, but you can also design a gorgeous dress! LOve this blue dress with lots of sparkle! The soft stenciled balloons are perfect for the occasion.
The masculine card is so cool! The glossy band of the hat and the glass-like clear gloss embossing must be so realistic and shiny IRL.
And the comfy sweatshirt with fun design! I always have a size problem in the US (I'm too small and thin...), so I wish I could sew or alter my clothes like you!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

That dress is fit for a queen, Ros! So pretty and sparkly! Love the glossy drink glass and the dapper hat! Your top looks so cozy and comfy! Hope your hubby is much better soon and you are able to have a lovely Christmas!
Sorry to hear your hubby has been sick and I hope the antibiotics work hard so he can enjoy Christmas.
Love that sweet and sparkly dress card. What a lovely birthday card! And yoru nephew is going to love his masculine card. I bet you had a lot of fun making both of them.
You are so multi-talented, Ros. Your fleece top is so pretty and will keep you warm during the cold days ahead. Great work! xx
If you hadn't said you started sewing because you were looking to have clothes that are a better fit than what you find in stores I would think you need to open a shop Etsy! That sweater/tunic is wonderful!
So are the cards - I can imagine the recipients opening the envelopes and saying to themselves "Wow, another Ros original!"
Hope your DH got better soon and you could cease the tea and chicken soup service.
