New craft fairs and happy letters…
I am so relieved, I’m not getting a pay cut. After spending all morning waiting in for the postman, the letter finally arrived at 2pm – I can’t believe how late our post is getting recently. So now all the butterflies have dissappeared from my stomach and I feel much better. I do feel for [...]
Pay cut day tomorrow?
I’m nervous, just ate a whole bag of maltesers to myself and now feel a little icky. I get the letter tomorrow telling me if I’m getting a pay cut or not, am trying not to think about it. Probably because I think I will be getting one. Will brace myself and hope the postie [...]
Deliveries…
I love it when the post comes and get really fed up when we don’t get any. Is that just me or does everyone feel that way? Hubby normally checks for the post and my first question when he meets me from work is ‘Was there any post?’, the answer is usually no. It’s been [...]
What can a pug do but queue?
Today has actually been a productive day, typical that it’s Sunday and I’ve spent all week in too much pain to do anything but lay around or sit at my desk surfing the internet! Look what happened - Where did they all come from? I made 12 pugs today (slight fib, they were already [...]
Am I too old to do another degree?
Of course I know the answer to that question, it’s no. It has been a thought that has been floating through my brain for a number of years. In fact I had thought about doing another degree (an MA this time) since about 2004. At the time though it was because I was thinking about [...]
I’ve been a busy bee…
Well, this week has mainly been all about Craft Candy, I’ve had lots to do! It’s also been about getting the hubby through a major assignment for his Design MA but that was all handed in on Friday and peace and bliss has finally come back to our home now! I’m the lucky crafting so-and-so [...]
My favourite Christmas present…
I am a very lucky girl because Santa brought me a Singer Featherweight for Christmas. I absolutely adore this sewing machine, it was made in 1957 (I tracked it down through the serial number) and it’s the most beautiful sewing machine I’ve ever seen. Here she is looking all pretty on my desk: It’s quite [...]
Experimenting and messing…
I planned to do a lot of work over what I laughingly call the ‘Christmas break’, all 3 days of it of course! After I went back to work the day after Boxing day it became glaringly obvious that I didn’t really have much time to work after all. I have a good week this [...]
Feeling all nostalgic about 2008…
I’m reminiscing and getting all nostalgic about 2008, it was a funny old year! I’ve achieved more in 2008 personally than I have in total in the last 4 years! My three major achievements have been; my business really taking off this year, meeting some wonderful new friends – all fabulous crafty folk and 2008 [...]
