Hello Blossoms! Thank you for running the thread Donna. Roz - thinking of you xx Hope all goes as well as it can and your business picks up soon xx Colleen @MidnightStarDesigns Hope things are better today and I love the colour of your yellow beads. Mmmm Mustard! Nothing beats a ‘nose burner’ sandwich (ham and mustard - well mustard and a bit of ham really) Great for the sinuses!

My listing for today is this amazonite pendant - simple but nice, if you know what I mean?

Got a fair tomorrow, so will be putting my shop on holiday mode this evening. Fingers crossed for some sales.

I don’t know if anyone is interested, but I have purchased a great ‘crafting box’ from Lidl today. Marketed as a food container, it has two large ‘layers’ which are great for crafting items when out and about. It was £5.99. Added the link - a great large box. I had the pink option!

Right, off to see how the chicken is getting on in the oven and not forgetting to get the veg started!

Thanks for all your kind comments. I’m sure I will be fine emotionally as we have been pretty well living separate lives for a while now. Financially perhaps not so good as he employed me to do his work accounts and that will now stop but I will just have to try and make up the difference with new chiropody clients. Got some new advertising stickers for the car today and some cards printed to go in various village shops/GP surgeries so hoping that will bring in some trade. At least I do not have to move just yet as he has agreed to keep paying the mortgage and bills on the house until the youngest daughter has completed her first year at Uni which is at least a couple of years away yet. On the plus side I get to spread my crafting around the house wherever I like - looking forward to some space!

Happy May Day, lovely Blossoms. I shall endeavour to keep up this month - I don’t know how Roz @Rozcraftz managed to do it for a whole year, congrats on that! Hugs too to Roz, also Natalie @NOfkantsCurios, Liz @lizdyson and Colleen @MidnightStarDesigns - you all sound like you need them.

Congrats to Maxine @paperchainsandbeads on impending Grandma-ship - how exciting!

Donna @ShropshireNaturalProducts - thanks for picking up the reins on this thread.

Rachel @Glehcar - love the pinks and purples in those earrings - I could be tempted to get my ears pierced for those, can you believe that I never have?

Here’s my first contribution for May:

Let’s hope the new month brings better things for all of us.

all faved to here…

Hiya all!
Pinterest isn’t playing at the moment for me, but I’ll keep trying to start a new board and pin all lovelies!
NATALIE @NOfkantsCurios you take care of yourself, you have had a lot of work issues, and stretched yourself too far for them, I think they’ve been a little naughty and taken advantage of your good nature, knowing what a hard worker you are! You don’t have to have a reason for feeling the way you do at the moment, and you certainly shouldn’t be feeling guilty.
Don’t give yourself such a hard time, rest and take it easy as much as you can
Plenty of treats are called for :wink: look forward to seeing you back xx

Colleen @MidnightStarDesigns hope today has been better and calmer …always here if you need to sound off😌 x

Roz @Rozcraftz don’t know how you’ve managed to make something everyday to post…well done !
So sad to hear of your news and I do hope things work out for you…which I’m sure they will, and for the better! Take care and as others have mentioned, always here if you need xx

Liz @lizdyson hope you are ok too xx

Good luck to all who have craft fayres x

And well done on sales, great news for the new month :wink:
Right off to try pinterest again!

Night, night all, steph xx
