Good afternoon, yay happy dancing for your sales June and Francis
Sending you hugs Sue @SueTrevor and Caroline @carolinefrodsham, take some of the pressure off yourselves lovelies, but please donāt stop visiting we are always here to cheer, hug and listen even if you arenāt listing
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 Iāve not long got back from my Friday walk in this horrendous weather! I walked in the front door and my hubby just started laughing at the state of me!! Anyway Iām all warm again now with a nice hot coffee in my hand and feel so much better for doing it!
Have loved and pinned all your lovely listings, hereās mine for today. Have a lovely evening everyone
@ChrisStoneArtist Thatās great news about the card request, and that itās a straight sale, Iāve only got sale or return from shops so far (although Iām quite happy with that, as long as theyāre 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 doesnāt match. This place always seems full of ups and downsā¦ we donāt mind which youāre sharing.
Although donāt 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 youāre starting to feel like you donāt 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, donāt give a thought to painting, and then after a week or two Iāll 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!
Well I headed back into the craft world slowly today. Managed to make up these purses (I had already made the felt and done the designs) although its anyones guess when they will get photographed and listed
Evening! 1 sale to report please.
congrats on your second assignment results Max @MaxPringJewellery - thats amazing.
Sorry to hear about your Asti explosion Helen @PocketfulCreations - hope your work is retrieveable.
Thank you for the tree of life love Chris @ChrisStoneArtist - congrats on the commission work.
Linda @wildrosedesigns your red velour bag is gorgeous.
Sorry to hear about the charity shop break in Sue @BeadstormJewellery - how sad.
good luck with the house moving Roz @OrchardFelts. Great news that you are doing your successful craft fair again this year.
Beautiful work from everyone as always.
all caught up to here.
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 - itās arrived! I absolutely love it, beautiful, and fabulous packaging (including the sweeties!). Canāt wait to give it to Amy, Iāll try and take a pick of her with it to shareā¦
Right caught up again to here - I wonāt be around over the weekend, so have a great one everybody. x
Youāre all such a lovely bunch of people, looks like Iām staying then Iāll 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 wasnāt in it and nothing went as planned. Youāre better off just waiting for the inspiration to returnā¦and it will eventually
Evening everyone
Sending you hugs Sue @SueTrevor
Hope the job goes well Roz @OrchardFelts
Congratulations on your assignment Max @MaxPringJewellery
Been tiding my craft room today i moved into the bigger bedroom a couple of years ago i just seem to get in a bigger mess
Congrats Chris @ChrisStoneArtist - that sounds like an exciting venture.
Linda @wildrosedesigns your tapestry bag is absolutely gorgeous. If only it wasnāt out of my price range Iād 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. Iām so glad itās all coming together for you. Those purses are all so beautiful.
Sue @SueTrevor Sending huge hugs to you and Iām so glad youāve 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 havenāt 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 hadnāt gone flat!
@SueTrevor Sue itās not a good time of the year. Lack of sunlight, horrible weather and a host of other things can bring you down. Donāt push yourself if youāre not motivated because a break from crafting opens yourself up to different experiences.
Springās round the corner and your items are perfect Mothers Day presents.
Sorry - I am a terrible loiterer - I know itās only small but I will pop you on BC FB on Monday and do some tweeting for you. Chin up - soon be Spring xx
