M.I.A.

Happy new year bloggers, so sorry I've not been on here, life takes over sometimes huh! No point looking back over the last 6 months, onwards and upwards, but I will just say, mum is now in residential home, she loves it is settleing in and looks well, just waiting for social services to confirm that she can stay.
Well yesterday, what an amazing day it turned out to be, I was initially going on my own to the craft show at event city manchester, last minute change, I met a lovely lady from Burnley called Julie at victoria station, so we caught the bus together, she had arranged to meet a lovely lady from stockport called Joanne, and we then went to meet the adorable Kirsty Wiseman, together we had such a laugh, got on like a house on fire too, we all bought a 'cath Kidston' look a likey bag for a smidge of what she charges. We then went to the trafford centre for some tea, est est est, we had a lovely chatty waitress who took time out to talk to us and ask where we'd been. After tea we all parted company and Julie and I went to the bus stop to get the bus back to city centre, we waited nearly an hour as 2 buses didn't turn up! thus making it 10pm when I finally got home, I was frozen to the bone. I bought a few nice bits at the show, but managed to save a few quid for Harrogate in march, so all in all a fabulous day with fabulous people.

BAD TIMES

Yesterday I got a phonecall from mum to say she was poorly, so I went over to find her writhing in agony and being sick, after a bit of a palava with the nhs direct I rang 999 and 2 lovely paramedics came, first A and E then surgcal triage till 2 am, I came home the but mum was then moved to another ward. She still looked quite poorly today and was in more pain, she's having a scan tomorow so hopefully that will paint a true picture, will hopefully write on here tomorow with some good news. bye for now

CRAFTRANGE

Had a lovely day today at the craftrange Burnley, never been before, bit tricky to get there as I went by train. I was so excited to meet Clare Rowlands as I love her Molly Blooms stamps and her lovely designs, clare very kindly demoed a pull up box card for me, which I can't wait to try tomorow. The lovely Rosemary Merry was there with Nige and she was demoing the vagabond, Clare had a gorgeous advent calender which she had made and I am sooooo going to make one for christmas, I also bought a big wooden peg to decorate, amongst other stuff, well it would be rude not too lol. They had plenty of choice of products and I could have spent much more. There were also a couple of other ladies doing demo's which were very nice, below are a few pics I took.


This is the lovely Clare Rowland Rosemary Merry

Hello

I don't really have a style as such, I try and make things I enjoy making, but then I'll get asked to make a certain thing for someone at work, so I really have all kinds of stuff. I think I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from not having been to a craft fayre since March, really hoping to go to summer crafting, and definatley Manchester in sept, would also love to go to harrogate in sept but doubt it. Well I'll let you know how I go on with my challenge

Well hello there, thought I'd blog, lol, so sorry this is something that gets overlooked, I take pics to post then I forget and blah blah, oh well now and again will have to do. I've joined another forum call UK STAMPERS with the hope it will improve my stamping and inking, I made this tag today using a trio of colours, I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
