evening all, been helping hubby with decorating, almost ready to paint hopefully tomorrow! ah Stephie tax return is next on my to do list I like to get it in before end of October
lovely work everyone
Iām so very glad I donāt have to do tax returns!
Next week I have to have my performance review, which should be interesting, as both my ex boss (he of the kidney stones), who has never officially been told heās not my boss any more, and my new boss, will be there. Both of them will be setting my objectives for next year, each of them think they should be doing it. Could be fun!
Fab work Kelly and Brenda.

oh dear Margaret, that sounds like it could be difficult! Iām off today whoo, popping out this morning to get paint for the bathroom, and some crafty supplies to make some christmas wreaths, I have a few ideas I want to try!. I have a busy few days planned to stock up with new items ready for listing as after this week the boss is back and I know work is just going to be crazy again with long days, plus I have training coming up in a few weeks and baby is due in just 4 and a half weeks!
Thought I would list a coaster option today, these are really popular at fairs and on line so I thought Iād offer a pack of 4 in one design or mix and match

Good luck with the review Margaret.
Thanks for the tissues Tessa - surprisingly Iām OK. I do miss Kit but Iām not in pieces, which was a very real fear for me. The installation looks fab, how long is it staying there for? I hope itās permanent.
Love all the art on here, I especially like Maxās coasters. I too love my coasters of yours, I use them daily.
Iāve finally started a new big painting. The vision is brush stroke sky and palette knife seagulls on an 80 x 20cm canvas. If you click on the pic it will take you to an album where I intend to show it develop through the various stages.

Morning Brenda thatās pretty, I love the background.
Iām going to do a bit of work on my shops next I think. Iāve got not-really-a-pup-anymore Rory coming for a sleepover at one so it will be an active afternoon for me.
Fab work everyone, love that snowy ACEO Brenda.
Iāve been to Nantwich Artisan Fair today and bought home made soap and a gorgeous handmade cushion. Two items where the cost of postage puts me off buying online. Got an almond cake in the oven and Iām about to sew some more of my tiger. Happy days

Iām nearly always put off by postage on those two things too. Itās a shame really as there are so many beautiful cushions on folksy.

I think that the postage has killed a lot of trades. I used to do a lot of needlefelted teddies. They weighed next to nothing and I could pop them in the post box for a first class stampā¦NOW, because they are not flat, they cost Ā£3.30 to post. That makes the price out of the reach for most people and so I no longer make themā¦The post office has a lot to answer forā¦
Another good reason to stick to aceos and flat paintings.
It even adds a lot to the cost of box canvases and as well as extra P&P it involves a trip to the post office, which for me is a drive with petrol and parking to consider.
It is such a shame.
