Such a long time...





since I posted here but things have been really manic. I am ashamed to admit that once again I got muddled up with weeks as regards to the craft fayre and was a week short. This wasn't helped by the fact that I had 2 10' tables at this one so needed loads more stuff! It worked out fine though so I was happy enough. I made up loads of things with my robo and have now added them to my Midas card site. It was suggested that I put them on ebay but I am not sure about that... I shall have to think about that one. All the new things were really well received so at least I know I am going the right way. My next fayre isn't until September so I have plenty of time to get more made up in time for that (as long as I don't keep putting it off again!) Not sure when I can get started though as we have 2 of our Grandbabes coming to stay for a few days while Mum and Dad get away.


My workshop is marching on! It is nearly finished now... just need to get some money to pay for the roof to be finished (one side is done) so that we can go in and finish one wall and then the painting can start and I shall be able to move in... I can't wait! it is sooooooooooo exciting! I will take some piccies soon and post them up here.

Marching on!




The workshop is shooting up! I can't believe how fast it is now going after all the rain earlier in the year kept stopping work. Actually after I had taken these photographs yesterday the final wall was half up! I will take some photos today of that... think I have been a bit remiss and seem to have missed out loads of stages so I must make sure to keep the record going. I want to 'scrap' the project so I will be able to look back in years to come. I need to take some photos of the workroom I have at the moment but it is really difficult ... do I take photos while it's messy or try to remember to take them when I have tidied up? It isn't often tidy... I usually do it when I want to start something new and then all I can think of is getting started! The workroom is going to make such a difference to us... well we will get back a room in the house and be able to get sorted all the other rooms that now house bits and pieces!

Not quite Jimmy Choo


But I am really proud of this one! I bought a robo file for a shoe, it was a really nice fancy one which I did indeed make up but then decided to change it a little and make it 'my own'! I didn't get to finish the fancy one (must remember to do that) because I decided to do it my own way. It was fun to do and I am real chuffed! now I have to make up the handbag that goes with it and some boxes for them. I also finished some Easter exploding boxes... my next fayre is at Easter so I need some things appropriate to the season. Next project is ... well who knows? I have loads of files I have bought that I need to get done! It's going to be a busy week! :D
