Morning, all!
I have been busy this week, so this is the first chance I’ve had to get on the thread! I’m so glad that your son is out of hospital, Brenda.
Happy Birthday, Hazel!
I’ve been trying something new - this is a brooch I made for myself out of polymer clay - my first attempt at a larger object rather than dolls house miniatures.

Thank you for liking my poppy brooch! I really enjoy trying out different crafts and was pleased with how it turned out.
Fab ACEO, Max - it’s got a lovely nostalgic look to it.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes I had a lovely day yesterday - didn’t do anything special as had things to do ready for today at the mini fair, hubby is taking me out for the day next week on a shopping trip somewhere I want to go and a meal to celebrate :slight_smile:

That’s a lovely brooch Pam, very pretty

cute robin Max.

I watched the F1 race from Japan this morning, very worried about Jules Bianchi, whose car went under a tractor which was removing another car from the track. He has serious head injuries and is being operated on. Doesn’t sound good.

I don’t follow motor racing but naturally I hope that man is ok…very dangerous sport…
Glad you had a nice birthday Hazel and nice pic of you at the FAKE on facebook (lol)
Great work Max, you are so clever at so many different things…
Waving Margaret…

Popping in again, glad to hear your son is home Brenda @teabreaks, 6 weeks is a long time to spend away from home x

Wow @phoenixprojects that broach is wonderful! And I love that Robin Maxine @paperchainsandbeads x

I’ve just finished a piece yesterday, been sorting photos for it today as the sun is out. Photos are always a pain in the backside for me; I’m looking forward to when we move and having more light in the house! Now drafting up the listing…then to sort out what to choose for the shop and prepare the paperwork for it too…
Hope everyone is managing to enjoy the sunshine! :smile:

Hi everyone!
Fab robin, Max, and great hare, Liz!
Hope your fair goes well, Hazel, and that you make lots of sales.
I watched the Grand Prix as well, Margaret, and keep thinking about poor Bianchi.
Brenda, I’m having photo problems, too, and can’t list anything as a result! I know that Folksy are doing their best to sort it out, as many others seem to have the same problem.

Had I been able to list, this photo is of my latest ACEO!

Are there still problems with the photos today?..I haven’t tried to list for a couple of days, as I would do all the work and then have to abandon it, so I am waiting for it to get sorted.
My son is living next door to his future Mother in law (ha ha) and she sent me a message saying that he is looking good…so that it encouraging…
I have been painting and hope to take pics in the morning…
Hope you can list those shells…they look lovely…I am going to wait…

Glad your son is on the mend, Brenda.
I’ve just tried listing the shells again and get a red photo error message in the little box where the first photo should go on the listing page. I tried resizing my photos, but couldn’t (my technological knowledge only goes so far!!!), so I’ll just have to wait until the problem is fixed. I’ve got plenty of painting and crafty projects to do meanwhile!

That’s super cute Liz! I did enjoy the sunshine, I did about 8,000 steps along our local river and back :smile:

Beautiful shells Pam, hope you get your listing problems sorted.

Well done on the steps Margaret…folksy keeps telling me off for posting too much…the thing is…do they really WANT the threads to disappear…surely it is better to keep the thread going…sigh.
Pam, I will wait another day or two before listing…I hope admin (Doug) can get it fixed because I am sure it is putting a lot of people off and losing Folksy money…oh well, nothing we can do about it…

Lol Brenda - yes I was typing on my phone and didn’t have my glasses on the text thingy corrected me but not to the right word and then I couldn’t change it lol

Had a great day at the Fair very real not fake at all lol

Catch up with you all tomorrow - it’s been a long day but great fun :-)I

Loving the new makes, I especially love your pieces @MattUnderwood and @BigBirdLittleBird.

I’ve been busy making away, I was filmed for an S4C art project (Welsh tv) a few weeks ago, I don’t know for sure when I’m on it but I’m guessing it might be on Thursday.

Here’s my latest drawing/painting

Morning everyone waving hi. Hope the pic thing gets sorted, I have always re-sized mine to 900 x 900 pixels and haven’t had a problem listing, not sure what software your using Pam & Brenda, but I would imagine they would have a re-size facility on there as well as a crop, you might find it under picture size. I use the software that came with my camera so I’ve no idea what others are like.

ooh how exciting Lowri :smile:

Morning All :slight_smile:

That’s really great Lowri :slight_smile:

Good to hear your son is doing well Brenda :slight_smile:
