you are welcome Jess.
Thank you so much for including my art hoop in this fabulous collection!
Thank you for featuring me!
Thank you
Another one sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine - not sure Iāll get much done today. Had book club last night so have a new book to read - think that might be my activity for the day.
Having worked with vulnerable adults who often lash out, I know that those working with such people have very little (if any) leeway on protecting themselves. It OK to be bitten, hit, hair pulled etc etc but not ok to use even a small amount of force to prevent it from happening! I know they need to be safeguarded but sometimes so do the workers!
Susan @SusanBettyArt - another fabulous painting. I always look forward to seeing your paintings of Scotland. I know it probably sounds bizarre to some but they are so Scottish! - it reminds me of my time living in Northeast Scotland when I was first married - happier times!
Another scarf from me - these have been selling reasonably well so thought I might make up a stock of them in various colour ways for some craft fairs later in the year - apologies if they get boring!
Sorry for not interreacting much at the moment. I can see you all have some beautiful stuff. This morning I can see some gorgous mugs and pottery, paintings, jewellery and apparel. Keep up the good work
Lovely selection. Thank you so much for including my vintage china candle
Thank you so much for including my ācrinkle cut chipsā earring
Thanks for including my earrings @OswestryJewels
Just curious, were you living up Lossiemouth way by any chance? My parents live not far from there, they moved up there prior to retirement as my dad had a lot of family in the area. Really beautiful⦠in the summer
Lovely sunny day here. I need to do some gardening. When I say gardening I mean containering as I havenāt actually got a garden.
Morning all Iāve finally managed to get here today.
After I spent all that time photographing my knitting yesterday with all the problems that caused and I tried to download them this morning and my chromebook has lost the connection to my phone and I canāt seem to get it back. My IT director is going to look at it this afternoon for me.
Brian had an appointment to see a physio yesterday afternoon and he mentioned my problems to her and she said for me to phone the surgery to make an appointment to see her. I did this and Iām seeing her next Friday afternoon.
Today I have a relist of a cardigan as I couldnāt get to the photos for the new things.
Thanks so much Roz. Thatās such a fine thing to sayā¦youāve made my day. Iāve been working on my own style but retaining the spirit of Scottish colourists. Mercy buckets and a big hug to you
Afternoon all,
Finally got the new stuff photographed and listed, although Iām a bit annoyed with myself. One of the Motherās Day cards I finished, photographed and edited, was ready to be listed and Iāve only just noticed that Iāve put the background paper on upside down. I canāt believe I didnāt notice earlier.
Anyway, hereās one that isnāt upside down!
Absolutely! We have very little we can do. Weāve asked for a harness for the girl to keep her in her wheelchair (she is very bendy and can reach pretty much anywhere) which would give us half a chance but that has to all be approved by the council (who weāre contracted to) and the parents. The parents we know wonāt have a problem but the council are next to useless but as you say, the moment thereās a mark on a child or injury thereās big investigations. I report absolutely everything, a child gets on the bus with a red mark on the forehead for instance, I ask the parents if they know about it and it gets reported to my employer straight away. Youāve always got to cover your own butt. My employer has offered to chuck this particular run back to the council but at the moment they donāt have another run for me and my driver to do which means no wages. One will come along but the question is when. The girl leaves school in July so weāve had a chat and decided to try and ride it out.
@feelfeltfound - we were in Peterhead, north of Aberdeen - not the most picturesque place in the world but the surrounding area was beautiful.
I have been good and managed to layout 2 scarves this morning - they are now sitting, very soggy, on the bench ready for felting but the sunshine has won ⦠they will still be there tomorrow!
Thank you for including my card on your board, Mandy @feelfeltfound .
