Oh Sue @SueTrevor please think about staying we would miss you and I am sure you need to be somewhere where you can say what is on your mind without any fear of negative comments. I know you must do what you are most comfortable with but please seriously consider staying with us. xxxxxx

That pendant @thatenamelguy looks like and iced biscuit and has made me feel very hungry.

Love your vodka cupboard @konyskiw a vodka for every occasion. I have some Tanqueray gin and some rhubarb and ginger gin if I can come to the party please, I feel the need of some distractions.

Well done Max @MaxPringJewellery keep up the good work.

Today I have a green lampwork bead necklace and a cabled hat set.

@ChrisStoneArtist Thatā€™s great news about the card request, and that itā€™s a straight sale, Iā€™ve only got sale or return from shops so far (although Iā€™m quite happy with that, as long as theyā€™re fairly local).

@junemccabe I had no idea what it was either, until I wondered why my funny tasting vodka made my voice come back one day so I had to google it. Old fashioned herbal remedy + alcohol = great medicine! Sounds like we have similar drinking habits.

@SueTrevor Your items (new or old) will always help brighten up this thread, even if your mood doesnā€™t match. This place always seems full of ups and downsā€¦ we donā€™t mind which youā€™re sharing.
Although donā€™t feel bad if you do want to take a little time off, sometimes a few weeks break from making can help focus your mind again when youā€™re starting to feel like you donā€™t enjoy it and have lost all motivation. I sometimes do it when painting is starting to feel like a choreā€¦ find something else to focus on, donā€™t give a thought to painting, and then after a week or two Iā€™ll be missing it and have a list of things I want to paint.

@PollysWares It sounds like this is going to be a good party!

Just listening to the radio talking about Albert Finney dying - so sad - when I worked at the Theatre Royal in Bath he spent a week there and was a charming, lovely man. One of the last of the British brat pack reallyā€¦

Oh, and @AliDufty - itā€™s arrived! I absolutely love it, beautiful, and fabulous packaging (including the sweeties!). Canā€™t wait to give it to Amy, Iā€™ll try and take a pick of her with it to shareā€¦

Right caught up again to here - I wonā€™t be around over the weekend, so have a great one everybody. :slight_smile: x

Youā€™re all such a lovely bunch of people, looks like Iā€™m staying then :heart: Iā€™ll do my best to stay positive. My work is usually what keeps me going through the dark times, I did manage a walk in the woods today between showers, but nothing else.

Sue @SueTrevor - thats more than I achieved all week last week! I think I have sat on the sofa vegetating for days on end waiting for things to happen re my new job and house move but its slowly coming right. Just go with it and dont feel guilty about not getting any sewing done. I felt so bad about all the time I was wasting and tried on a couple of occasions to do some felting but my heart wasnā€™t in it and nothing went as planned. Youā€™re better off just waiting for the inspiration to returnā€¦and it will eventually :slight_smile:

Congrats Chris @ChrisStoneArtist - that sounds like an exciting venture.
Linda @wildrosedesigns your tapestry bag is absolutely gorgeous. If only it wasnā€™t out of my price range Iā€™d snap it up in a heartbeat.
Sue @BeadstormJewellery what a terrible thing! What kind of lowlife stoops to robbing a charity shop?!!!
Roz @OrchardFelts Good luck for starting the job on Monday. Iā€™m so glad itā€™s all coming together for you. Those purses are all so beautiful.
Sue @SueTrevor Sending huge hugs to you and Iā€™m so glad youā€™ve decided to stay on the thread. I have to say, your beautiful and distinctive work always brightens my day and I treasure the pieces I own.

Thank you all for your sympathy regarding the Asti incident. I still havenā€™t gone through all of the WIP yet but I have managed to salvage one or two bits so far. I also salvaged a glassful of Asti from the bottleā€¦ and it hadnā€™t gone flat!

All loved and pinned. Hereā€™s my new listing.

@SueTrevor Sue itā€™s not a good time of the year. Lack of sunlight, horrible weather and a host of other things can bring you down. Donā€™t push yourself if youā€™re not motivated because a break from crafting opens yourself up to different experiences.
Springā€™s round the corner and your items are perfect Mothers Day presents.

All pinned and loved to here.
