My Latest Workshop

Hello there again. Yesterday I ran a workshop for a lovely group of ladies. The hostess held it outside on her deck and had decorated and catered beautifully with a french style afternoon tea. Gorgeous comfy lounges draped with quilts she had made herself and lovely lace style tablecloths made an afternoon enjoyable for all those who attended. The hostess had requested that the make-and-take be in the brights used in the current promotion that finishes today. Those colours were Melon Mambo, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. So adding in some Old Olive (one of my all time favourites) the Framed Tulips Textured Embossing Folder, Mat Pack, White Gel pen, Paper Piercer, Blender pen, Eyelet Border punch and Whisper White cardstock for the ladies to make.

Ouch!

Well we have not had the best of times in the past couple of days, my littlest one broke her arm yesterday playing at playgroup, so she is feeling very sore and sorry (and we are too - for her!). So not such great news today, of course I had to take a pickie (for the scrapbook), she has a very sad face on, poor little chickie. I bought her a couple of little bling charms from Lincraft  to add to her necklace which cheered her up a little. Poor chickie chick. Her brothers have been very good with her, though fighting over who would take in the x-rays for show and tell!

Just a bit excited!

Being new to an area isn't easy, especially when you are not 'at work' as such talking to 'real' grown ups on a daily basis. So when a LOVELY friend from playgroup invited me to her house for a sewing night once a week, I jumped at the chance. I have just arrived home and the 'Mojo' is going rather crazy! I am attempting to make a bunting sign for my market stall! I'll keep you posted on how it all goes, who knows, I might even post a pickie if it turns out O.K. Thanks Fiona for a lovely night.

Wooooo Hoooooo!

I am finally set up with my own blog again! Mmmmmmmmmm............... working out all this techno stuff has been rather 'challenging' to say the least! Anyway I have finally done it (I think - fingers crossed!) Life on the Far North Coast has certainly been busy and it doesn't look like slowing down any time soon. I am still busy running my little darlings around to everywhere and everything they 'need' to do. Thank goodness the holidays are over ( I NEVER thought I would be one of 'those' parents who would say that, but now I completely understand why parents would harass me in shopping centres and other places as to when school would return - I am a trained teacher for those who do not know me well).

Well I have actually had some 'crafting mojo' happening lately, the problem is I have not had enough time to myself (what's that? I hear many of you say.) to actually carry out the hundreds of ideas and inspirations gathering in my head. I have now decided it is wise (hoot, hoot) to write these ideas and inspirations down and hopefully one day they might actually come to fruition - we can only hope!
My market stall in Lismore on the first Sunday of each month is managing to keep me busy and it is so wonderful to meet so many lovely people who are like myself, addicted to crafts, especially papercrafts.
I am hoping that my next post will feature some of my work ( if I can work out how to attach it! LOL)
