Easter Hols

ok so the Easter Hols are nearly at a close. finished off my skirt, made some jewellery with the kids and thinking about trying to get a blog with Beads Direct if i'm lucky enough.
The sun is shining and it's been hard to get motivated instead of just chilling!
My dog had been loving the sun tho!
Bought some beautiful beads from Monty's Beads (montysbeads.com/index.php) and Ilona Biggins (ilonabiggins.co.uk/index.asp). There were some amazing stalls at the Harrogate fair and it was a lovely day out, even if i did spend too much!
Beads Direct and The Bead Shop are continuing to provide excellant service, both regularly giving money off discount codes.

Finishing off

Spent all day today trying to finish off my trousers but can't get motivated! I had so much planned for this week off n seem to have done nothing.

Well i finished the trousers and they were pants! Sorry!!
Ended up slinging them in the bin they were so bad, made my backside look huge!!
Looks like it's everything except trousers for me then!

Hello!!

OK, I'm new to all this 'blogging' so if i get it wrong please forgive me!
I have been making my own cards for the last 10 years and 2 years ago i bought my self a sewing machine in the hope of being able to make my own clothes. About 6 months ago i decided to have a go at making jewellery too!
Well...........it seems there just isn't enough time in the week to be able to do all the things i want and HAVE to do.
I have 2 young children (both under 10), a husband, a dog and work full time at a school so trying to fit crafty stuff in between all the family stuff is hard lol.
At the moment 90% of my craft goodies are packed up in the spare room as i have no 'designated' craft area. What i DO have is a usable space in my back garden which is to be converted in 'my' craft room. I shall keep you posted with pics and info as i go along with that. I will also point out that my 2 children have also 'bagsied' areas when my room is set up so inevitably their work may appear on here from time to time (they LOVE to get involved).
















What i really want to do is set up a blog from someone who doesn't work in the industry, who has another job and fits in what they can when they can with all the trials and tribulations of life thrown in.
I hope to be able to offer help where i can and hope that people will offer their advice and help too.

Thanks XX
