I have been given this by two people, toni and wired to my world. It is lovely to receive such an accolade.
I have compiled 7 things about myself :-
1. I am married with two children - a boy and a girl (lucky me)
2. I am somewhat obsessed with peacocks and collect them in all forms
3. I am a stay-at-home-Mum who does voluntary work at various establishments
4. I like to read and was bought a kindle for Christmas by Mr Midge and the children
5. I have other hobbies including gardening - you may have guessed that.
6. My second favorite craft is Parchment Craft or Pergamano (photo's further down this post)
7. When Mr Midge and I retire, our dream will be to a Croft in Western Scotland, we will be going on an overseas cricket tour to watch England play - either in the West Indies, Australia or New Zealand. Both of us are cricket nuts.
Now all I need to do is decide who to pass this award on to as most of the blogs I subscribe to have already got one - I'll think on that if you don't mind.
Now to some parching.
I think that will do for now.
Parchment is done by tracing, embossing and perforating a piece of parchment paper. The perforations are then cut to give a lacy pattern. The pictures are drawn with polychromos (oil-based ,blendable) pencils.
very theraputic.
Right, time to get my togs on and head out to the potting shed - I've got perennials to divide, a clematis to prune and loads of seeds to sow for the greenhouse.
Bye for now.

Those cards are beautiful Midge, you really have made a lovely job of them.
I like them all, but the last one is especially lovely.

They are amazing! I didn't even know you do parching. What wonderful work! How long does a piece take?
