Congratulations to your son and his partner @cariadcrafts11

Good morning everyone, no work for me today so able to get here (relatively!) early.

Thanks so much to everyone for the warm welcome (welcome backs) - I’m feeling right at home already :slight_smile:

Have some serious workbench envy @silverbirchstudio !

Here’s my listing today, hoping to add a few of these over the next few days. I’ve got a few pieces of digital art which I thought might make good Folksy banners so here’s the first one. Does anyone have any thoughts on the price? I really have no clue how much to charge for something like this!

I would imagine it would depend on how long it takes you to create them and add a wee bit to cover some of the cost of the software though

Love the bench @silverbirchstudio
Spent a slice of yesterday afternoon helping daughter No2 work up a photo memory board she wants to give her husband for their tenth anniversary. Pleased that essentially my imput was to provide my antique Black & Decker workmate, my even older saw and my brand new cordless drill, and stand and supervise. Today I have been delegated to find a suitable font for the text she plans to add to it. Good to see your child applying the lessons you tried to pass on to her :grinning:
A new brooch today

Hello all, sorry I went AWOL yesterday, had to have a repeat blood sample taken in the morning ( no explanation why, they must have messed up!) which totally wiped me out and I spent the rest of the day napping on the sofa and watch the winter Olympics. This morning has been partially spent doing some tidying as my in laws announced they were going to visit next week. I also spent half an hour watching the Stoat do the most hilarious jumping and dancing on the lawn and in and out of the flower beds - clearly he/she has got the joys of spring!

Sorry to hear about your mum @lifecovers thinking of you.
@cariadcrafts11 how exciting for you, especially if it was unexpected!
@silverbirchstudio love that bench Patricia, and what a lovely view out to the garden while working you have!

Don’t let your in-laws wear you out next week @jessicagoulty - did you get any video footage of the stoat in action? x

I had a dream last night that I was the 8th most successful designer in the World and a museum wanted to create a portfolio of my work. When they asked me to provide some of my products, I didn’t actually know what I was a designer of, so I looked at the labels in my clothes to see if I was a clothes designer but the labels said F+F, so I assumed it wasn’t that .It turned out that I was a shoe designer but I made babies’ sandals that looked like they were £1.99 off the market!
The no 1 designer in the World had designed a mug that was so ergonomic that when you picked it up to drink your tea, it made the roaring sound of a Porsche engine (but it had no electronics in it or anything) it was amazing!

Anyway - back to humdrum reality…lol!

Hi everyone, sorry to hear about your Mum Sally @LifeCovers, thinking of you. Hope your family are on the mend Sarah @SarahDesignsUK

Here is my listing for today. Reluctantly I’m going to drop out for a while as I’ve just got a big order of cushions and also some fabric for curtains for my home (which I hate doing) and if I’m distracted by making things to list here the curtains will never happen! Hope to return soon.

Good luck with your order and making your curtains :scream: ( that would be me) will miss you on the thread but I know what you mean about needing your concentratIon elsewhere . I still haven’t finished painting the bathroom , in fact it’s been so many months now , I have gone off the colour and want to start again ! look forward to seeing your lovely things again soon .

The only video we managed to get was of it running along the patio wall. Typically as soon as you get camera out, it stops doing what you wanted to video/ photograph in the first place! He/she is a regular visitor ( it’s the wild rabbits!) along with the weasel.
