Well, I am spending so much time checking out all your inspiring blogs that I am not getting much else done! There are so many talented people out there, and every time I read a blog I find a link to another one, and so it goes on. Grace came in to find me drinking a cup of tea and said "Not on your laptop, Mum?" in such a tone of surprise that I feel I may be neglecting everyone in favour of my new found entertainment.
I did manage to complete some orders and also get some things made for my website though, so I'm not feeling quite as guilty as earlier. I love making these as I can do them in front of the TV.
These will have matching face cloths by the end of tomorrow if I am not distracted by blogs again. I have a huge list of projects for the house to do but I am now trying to get some stock together for the fairs I have got lined up before Christmas.
The girls both had friends round for tea tonight and I made chocolate fairy cakes in honour of having guests. I did manage to steal a few quiet moments with a cuppa and a plate of cakes. I only ate one though, I promise. This is my favourite teapot and one which I use when I am having a leisurely cuppa, rather than the huge mug with a bag in it which is for every day use. It's been Lemsip for the past few days unfortunately though, which doesn't go quite as well with cakes.
A few things have cheered me up though, despite my cold. A friend bought me a bunch of freesias for mending her bracelet, I missed a delivery and the postman left his phone number on a card for me to ring when I was in,and came back later with the package, Andy cooked me Mussels in Cider from the Guardian Weekend Magazine (which were fab), and I found these....
...for £2 in a charity shop. They are brand new and unwashed and are £15 in Cath Kidston. I only went in for the newest book for my book club (which I didn't get) and even took some of my own books in - I am starting a slow clear out, but you have to start somewhere. My theory is that the more I clear out the more space I have for new finds!
Hope you are all having a lovely week. X
