I've been slacking here again...

I just can't believe where the time goes I know I have been struggling with my internet connection recently apart from that on my phone but can't blog from that, so I apologise for not uploading some of my demo projects for Sept/Oct but hopefully you will have seen most of them through my Docrafts Gallery.

Also I have really got into beading recently so need to take some photos and get those uploaded as well especially the new beads that I bought last weekend at the Bead Show in Cardiff.

So some of my favourites are below

First week of my holidays

Well this is the first week of my holidays to spend with the kids and look at the weather where has the sun gone???

Anyway it has been a mixed week, some time spent at home catching up on ironing and things and the rest of the week I have been taking Vanessa to and from her tennis tournament at Burnham on Sea where she has played in both the U14 and U16 events.  Yesterday she won the U14 Consolation event and we are currently waiting for a phone call to confirm when she is expected for the U14 doubles event (but it is raining again!!)

Ashley is enjoying the last few weeks of being at home before he goes to 6th Form and we are also waiting for the results of his GCSE's so tense times all round at the moment.

Some recent projects I've been working on

Well I know its been ages again since I last posted I did hope to

post more often but time just seems to slip away - I just don't

know where it goes!!

So here are some of the projects I have been working on recently,

both jewellery and cards.

I hope you like all of these!

Son's last day at Secondary School

Well it was my son's last day of official secondary school today and he is off out tonight partying with his friends (in the rain I hasten to add!)

It only seems like yesterday that he was starting at secondary school and now all his GCSE's are done as well as one A level a year early and now he has 14 weeks off before he starts 6th Form in September!

Hopefully he has done will in his exams and now I can leave him loads of jobs to do around the house unless he gets the job he interviewed for last week!

My baby turned 16 on Monday!

Well I can't believe that my baby has turned 16 where did all those years go? It only seems like yesterday that he was toddling around and now he's all grown up.

For his birthday we went paintballing (yes including me and I have loads of bruises to prove it!)

He's the one in the middle!

Demo details

My next demo for Do Crafts is at Carole's Crafts in Cardiff tomorrow, 4th June and I am looking forward to seeing some new faces and hopefully some familiar ones too.  Sounds like I will be glass painting most of the day plus obviously showing off the new Tatty Teddy and Tulip products.  The store will be taking orders for any products that are not available, so make sure you have your money ready.

Argggggghhhhh blogging

I have been having all sorts of problems with my blog and now I can't seem to get onto my dashboard at all sometimes I wonder why I bother and then I remember I am trying to keep everyone updated with my ongoings. I will keep trying but please bear with me.
 

Short but sweet ....

Hooray at last!!

Well just to let you know that my Vintage necklace has finally made it to Project of the Week on the Do Crafts website http://www.docrafts.com/ please check it out and let me know what you think.
