A New Day

Thank goodness this week is nearly over I have been late blogging all my DT posts this week, obviously too much sun just not used to it.

My poor old feet are still very swollen my GP does not seem to be interested though examined them and said don't want to give you water tablets do more exercise and don't sit down too much, when does anyone have the time to sit down lol

picture of my poor old feet 

Close up of left foot 

We are going to a rather posh wedding at the beginning of May how am I going to get shoes to fit?

I have made another bespoke candle of both my granddaughter's as Nicole and Dean have split up so don't want to upset Nicole by showcasing that one as a sample at craft fairs etc, I love this picture although it is quite an old one now as this was taken when Nicole was 18 she is now 23, where do the years go.

and to top it all off here is a photo of Toby on Sarah's bed this morning he looks so cute but in reality he is a little monster, but we do love him 

We did a mock run of my craft fair last night to see how and where things will go on the table must say it looks rather nice will take photo's on the day but on Friday night we are off to Jessica's 18th party bash and have to be on the road by 5.30am on Saturday as it is a two hour drive and the fair starts at 9am.  Thank goodness for Sarah as we are going in her car must remember to update the sat nav otherwise we will get lost lol.  

Am off to do some blog hopping just now so will catch you all soon.

Love

Good News

Sarah had an interview on Friday for a job which she has been temping in now for nearly two years and she was short-listed along with one other, but thank goodness Sarah got the job, Yippeee only trouble is the money she was going to use to get a flat she had to buy a car with so now she is having to save up all over again, so she will be living with us for a few months yet.

I have been asked if I would like to display my candles in a crafty shop which is highlighting local people's craft so have said yes please so am off to do that in a moment plus go and post Wendy's goodies that she won as I did not get around to it yesterday as Alan was home, he took time out bless him to do all the jobs I am no longer able to do.  Cleaned windows and washed all the frame work, washed all the skirting boards in every room and then pulled furniture out to clean behind and under in all the rooms, gave the oven a really good clean and all the cupboards in the kitchen and then scrubbed down the bathroom so everywhere is looking lovely and clean.

Here is the last of my commissioned cards for a little boy who loves rugby and is going to be 12 at the end of this month

the image is a LOTV stamp and coloured in with spectrum noir pens still not got to grips with hair but getting there slowly with my colouring.  

Well am off to finish tidying my craft room, will be back later to do a bit of blog hopping so 

bye for now

Sunny Day

Morning all, lovely sunny day here on Dartmoor, might be able to get some washing done.  I am up early as I have to phone the doctors to try and get an appointment as my feet are very swollen and looking bruised and have been for a couple of days. but hey ho life goes on.

Sarah has her interview for the job she has been temping in for the past 2 years at 11.00 today think I am more nervous than she is.  Thankfully she will find out today if she is successful or not, only one other person applied for this as they only advertised it internally, so fingers crossed.

I have made a cascade card as part of the commissioned set of cards that I was asked to make, only one more and I will be making that one today as my LOTV stamp arrived in the post yesterday.

Am off to get my breakfast before I do a bit of housework and then have to be in Ivybridge for 11.00 as I am meeting a friend for coffee at the Garden Centre, will do some blog catching up this afternoon.

Lots of love

Alison
