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.

I hope you all like it.

Guess what I made this necklace from?

I was just wondering if you can guess what I have made this jewellery from?

Well if you haven't managed to guess by now then I will give you

a clue - Papermania Brads!

"Really" I can hear you say, but yes really!!

Earth Hour - 26 March 2011

At the craft club I run on a Saturday evening we decided to support WWF "Earth Hour" (no electricity or lights were allowed from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.)

Just a few of us!!

So we lite all our candles and lanterns and crafted by candlelight whilst enjoying some nibbles, drinks and laughs.
 

Doesn't time fly when you are having fun

I know its been a while since last posting and I keep meaning to post and then it just doesn't happen, so hopefully you will forgive me when you see what I have been up to.

Chainmaille Earrings - I made these hoping they would go in as project of the week for Do Crafts but it appears they didn't make it in, so am sharing with you all.

These are some of my latest demo cards for February and March, the rest can be seen through my gallery on the Do Crafts website - www.docrafts.com/Helen1
