Good morning all I hope you are all well.
Today I have a new listing of a jumper with a stegosaurus motif.
Morning everyone,
That makes sense Sarah @dotterypottery I must stop using my PayPal account for personal use as well and I could do that.
Today’s listing
Morning all,
Happy Jubilee
Earrings today -
Happy Jubilee!
Here’s a ring I’m rather proud of with the most glowing moonstone. A lot of breath holding setting it. June birthstone.
Good morning all, off to make a trifle in a moment. Won’t be a jubilee trifle, just my own concoction but will still enjoy it.
Well done on the sales @feelfeltfound and @dotterypottery happy Thursday twist for you both!

Good morning all,
Gorgeous & sunny here as well
Here’s mine for today
Hi I,m back again with Oswestry Jewels this time.
Today a long line jasper coin bead necklace, it can also be made shorter if preferred
Sarah @dotterypottery I feel your pain… went through it with my Mum & Dad.
Very long story very very very short (I live Warrington they lived Conwy) … Dad had a bad stroke Oct 19 so I was going and staying with them every weekend to help, then Mum got very poorly just as we went into Lockdown 1 and sadly passed away. Dad was unable to look after himself. My Brother and I took it in weekly shifts to stay and look after him all through 2020 and the various lockdowns (we did get him to a stage when we could leave him alone for 3 days a week as we set up a lot of aid & help until he started to detoriate again)… working from home meant we could do this. Finally got him moved over near here in Jan 21 into a care home. But passed away in the April.
But you are right… nothing prepares you for it and towards the end the pressure & stress was starting to affect our health, both mentally & physically, we where both near breaking point
Afternoon everyone! Thanks for all the lovely welcomes I received I have favourited everyone’s listings both yesterday and so far today, so I’m feeling much more confident about how this works. Thanks so much to everyone for favouriting my listing too!
Today I have a little elephant shrew linocut - if you haven’t heard of one of these animals before Google ‘baby elephant shrew’, you are in for a very cute treat!
Good afternoon. I’m taking a break from painting my mother’s bathroom and catching up on likes.
Something new in my shop. A pretty Aquamarine necklace x
I hoping everyone is ok x
Just had a few of the planes and helicopters from the jubilee and birthday celebration fly over our house and could see some in the distance, as they had obviously fanned out. Only managed to capture these two as they flew away.
Happy Jubilee Day! It’s a lovely day here in Bolton, but I must catch up on The Sewing Bee before I found out who left!
I feel your pain re looking after elderly relatives @dotterypottery like you say, you have more energy looking after little ones - nothing prepares you for it! It’s nearly 8 years since my dad died and 18 months since my mum and brother died. I miss them so much, but I’m determined to enjoy life now I have freedom from caring, you never know what is around the corner. It’s so hard.
Sending love to all those struggling
I’ve had a lovely walk with my walking group friends this morning and it was good to sit out in the sun afterwards with a coffee.
It’s a relist from me
Thanks for looking after us last month, Max @MaxPringJewellery .
And could you add 4 sales to kick off my tally ,please Natalie @NOfkantsCurios .
Here’s today’s wee card
Hi all - can’t believe that I’m playing catch up at the start of the month! The day just got away from me yesterday. I just found out that my mum needs both a knee and hip replacement so I’ve been trying to work with her to build a plan - she’s super independent so I’m expecting a tussle when it comes to her accepting help!
@Caroleecrafts I just munched on some strawberries with my son - got to love a strawberry!
@ClaraCastner I’m so sorry to hear of your loss x
@wrbcco welcome from another newbie with no sales as of yet. I hope that changes for us both soon!
@valerie I’m sorry to hear about your husband - it sounds like he’s been through a lot. I hope he gets better soon x
A new baby shaker card from me today…
Well done Georgina @GeorginaCrawfordArt on your 4 sales, happy Thursday twist for you!

Just made my husband out the flags up as I forgot to ask him, only noticed as we pulled out of the drive for a little wander in a pretty Cotswold village- nothing like a bit of British pride to cheer up your day!
Thank you all for being so welcoming to a newbie- just trying to jump start my account again
Here is todays listing- who doesn’t love a bit of Rose Quartz?!
