August 2024 and a sort of Long, Hot, Summer.

After all the rain in spring, ruining bulbs and the frost killing off other plants. Summer has arrived but due to the unpredictably of our weather some of the leaves on the shrubs and trees are turning already! Will soon be buying violas and pansies to fill the pots with winter colour.

After 2 bad falls, both really self inflicted. The first my foot went to sleep, instead of waiting for the feeling to come back, loud crack, bruised and swollen for about 10 days, had to resort to a walking stick. Second fall. Locked ourselves out of the house, borrowed next doors ladder. Before Lee had a chance I shot up the ladder, through the window. The promptly fell of the window sill into the room. Foot hurt again, bruised knee and arm plus ended up with a black eye and squished glasses as hit the waste bin! Not going near a ladder ever again!

Onto creating have a lot of new items in my Folksy shop. The mist recent are in the Newly Listed section. A montage for your perusal.

Happy Summer

June 2024 Where did the year go?

 Just checked and been an over year since I last posted a blog. What have I been doing? Most of last year and this have been decluttering the house. My craft studio in particular has masses of stuff, do not know why I bought in the first place and not likely to be used. I am trying to have a no buy year but not happening atm, always run out of glue and other necessities. Cannot create without glue or thread!

Been using up paper pads, which let’s face it we all buy because! Then they sit there looking at you accusingly every time you open the box, use me, use me. Making a lot of ephemera packs, recently listed fingers crossed they sell. 

Our 2011 iMac is on its last legs and doing weird things, had to bite the bullet and order another from John Lewis along with a new printer. Not long had the one we have got but does not do back to back printing automatically and as DH is technically challenged thought would change for a better one at the same time. Should be here by Friday, then the set up begins. 

For the month of June have been doing a Creep on June challenge, started by Tracie Fox Designs. Loads of videos to watch on You Tube each day along with brilliant printables to enable one to take part. Along with a journal, loads of tags and pockets plus a box to store everything inside. All now listed in my Folksy shop.

Off for a rest after all the creating, have fun and I will be back
