After digging out my sewing machine last week, I have also had a delve in my wool basket (huge box really!) and came across some half made brooches that I used to sell when I did jewellery parties & craft fairs ... I forgot how sweet they are and think I will start selling them again! ... crazy-pup ran into the garden with some of the wool and a crochet hook ... managed to get the wool back, but couldn't find the hook anywhere! (and I spent about half an hour looking too!) About an hour later crazy-pup comes trotting in with it ... I have no idea where she had hidden it! At least I got my hook back :)

The problem with moving house is things get packed away and sometimes don't get unpacked for a little longer than you planned! My sewing machine is one of those things ... I have just been doing hand sewing for the last few months, but last weekend I actually dug out my machine and made another mess while I had some fun!

they are available in my Folksy shop.

what have I been doing lately? Well I would like to say that I have been taking it easy while Dilly-Dog has been running the place, but sadly, no rest for me & I have been visiting local towns with my AT THE BEACH Collection range of greetings cards & postcards. The response has been good and it has been lovely having an excuse to go shopping!
I have also been making some more jewellery including these pretty roses & blue flowers necklaces. Available in my Folksy shop.

Sometimes you are so tired after a busy day that you just crawl into bed ...


.... and you don't realise till you wake up that you have been sleeping under the mattress!
