Craft group in Burray

Our first "meeting" was last night, and it was lovely. The whole room was full of ladies doing everything from knitting to embroidery. One of the ladies had done a yummy sticky toffee pudding cake, and another one brought brownies and Victoria sponge. We did a lot of chatting, a bit less of crafting, and I am looking forward to next week:)

I started on a folksy reindeer ornament from Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament from 2006, but have promised to bring Vicki's (India Grace Designs) calender partwork so they can see how hardanger looks and works:)

Today I am tired, so I am gonna watch telly and do stitching...hubby is working long shift so I am on stand by for tonight as he may need to be picked up...oh...and I need to give Tara a walk this afternoon, but that is IT!!! I don't want to do anything else...

    I have to say I really enjoy attending my local craft group and we spend most of the morning oohing and aahing over each others projects and then generally chatting while we all work away on anything from spinning, beadwork, tatting to embroidery :)

    It is so much fun seeing what other people are up to, and to get tips and ideas (as if we really need more...lol), not to mention nattering with likeminded people:)

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

Notice

So...I have told people at work that I am leaving, and feel sooo relieved:) Did not enjoy it for a second, but the reaction was ok, and the fact that I am gonna hand my notice in tomorrow (still won't leave until middle/end July) is gonna help my manager start looking for a replacement straight away, and hopefully I can train my successor before I leave. Other than that I am just potting about looking for inspiration even though I have way too much to do already...been out wtih Tara for walks yesterday and today in teh drizzle...halfway through today's walk the sun came out an dit was really warm, but now it is grey again...I am not complaining too much as it is a relief after so much sun...the ground needs it as well. Am gonna take my sewing machine down to the kitchen table tomorrow, and my fabrics, and am gonna play around a bit whilst my husband works nights over the weekend...am hoping to have some pictures to show for it:)
