Wow @SueTrevor you will have to congratulate yourself with my ‘reward star’ listing today :wink: and well done to everyone who’s been posting, I can’t believe I have 47 after starting with none (a few relists of course but yesterday was I was busy making 9 new ones). I have more star based beads too!

Congratulations Sue @SueTrevor I aim to join you one day - I think it will be a long wait! Well done xx
@thatenamelguy Oh no! I do hope everything will be ok? Thinking of you x

Well, it looks like Erin might get her place at a school which will be able to give her the support she needs. Fingers crossed for now, but a positive bit of news to look forward to. I must be tired. I forgot it was was nephews birthday today. I knew it was coming up, but didn’t know it was today if you know what I mean. He came up to visit me with his sister and it was only when he showed me his facebook page with all the happy birthday wishes I twigged it was the 31st! What a horrible aunty. Well, I swiftly wrote out his card with a little extra petrol money inside, before baking him a cake. He had to wait for it to cool a bit before I could add the jam, or he would have had a soaked sponge instead! He is so lovely. I did make it up to him with rounds of sandwiches and biscuits whilst he waited. He didn’t seem to mind too much when the cake was still a bit warm!

I have a couple of listings to show you today. I made several pairs of earrings in preparation for the show - none of which sold! Here a some to start you off.



I have several new makes which need photos before I can list them. Sadly, we have the bad weather here and the rain is lashing at the front door so hear, it sounds like hail stones! The light is awful. I have the main lights on in the house. Will go and try and see how they look.

Have a lovely day everyone and thinking of you all at fairs especially.

I’m impressed Jacqueline @JAustenJewelleryDesign - I would need at least a months notice to bake a cake and even then I’m not sure I would get it right!

Had a good day, as well as a sale here on Folksy one of my patients bought 4 of my bags, she has previously bought 4 but said as I was leaving she needed to stock up! I’m not complaining though. Just realised I’m only one sale away from 250 - wonder how long it will take me to get there :slight_smile:

Ah Roz. You are lovely! I used to bake a lot, so whipping up a cake usually isn’t too much trouble. I don’t tend to do it as much now, as if there is cake in the house, I tend to eat it all myself!

Just seen I have had a sale! One for the tally please Max @paperchainsandbeads xx
