Haven't seen this one before. I like the natural look of it. Is the sort of thing I like to touch...am the same with sculpture. I think sculptures were made to be touched and find it infuriating when I go to museums and there is a "Keep off" sign....
Arts and crafts have always been with me, from knitting, crochet, painting (not very well) and now I make chainmaille jewellery with a passion. I love it.
Likes and Dislikes
I don't like rudeness or snobbery.
I like animals, chocolate, my garden.
Do you have any disabilities that affect your creativity?
I personally don't have a disability but my son suffers from schizophrenia, which affects the whole family and my daughter has chronic panic attacks. She is now married and runs her own business making an selling jewellery, she has done well.

I noticed I called you Jill, back in October, I must be madder than I think..lols
Sorry to read that Bob is still poorly. I hope he starts to feel better soon...even if it is only a little, followed by a little more until he is much better.
I am off to the doctor tomorrow with an ever growing list of ailments. Have a lingering cough and sore throat (remnants of a cold) that might be turning into bronchitis and a tummy problem that won't go away. Ho hum. Aalways something. Anyway, got hot water bottle on tummy now and rrelaxing best as I can. Take care there and give my best wishes to Bob xx
Friday already. I really can't work out where the week has gone.
I did have a fair to go to. That was in September. How quick the time has flown since then. I sold 14 cards which, I thought, was rather good considering it is a council estate and the event was more geared towards children.
At the moment I am making Christmas cards for friends and family. Sporadically. lols
My daughter took me shopping in Milton Keynes, yesterday. Is a really big centre. I hadn't done anything like that for a while and actually really enjoyed myself. Having a quiet day today and staying over with my friend (the one who keeps goats) later.
Hope you have a lovely weekend and your kitties aren't too frightened by any fireworks that are going off tonight. Hopefully, not that many will. :>)
Thought I would let you know the bowls arrived today. They are beautiful. Will make very good xmas gifts and I am thinking I have to keep the bird one myself I like it so much! Bye the way I was a bit surprised you don't put your Name and Website url on the bottom of the bowls in case people want to order more. If you have a business card I could print out I could add it in with the gifts? They are really lovely.
Yes, am up quite late. Making cards. Seems I have got the bug back (at last). Have been lacking motivation..bit of a pre winter slump. Anyway, more importantly am sorry to hear that Bob has been poorly and needed to be in hospital but very pleased that he is home now and, as you said, can go to the ball. On the condition that he comes back wearing both his shoes. lols
My friend took me for a mystery tour today. We were supposed to be going for a countryside cafe lunch but we ended up driving for over an hour...went to the same place 3 times trying to find our way about. We ended up having lunch at Morrison's supermarket. Still, I didn't mind, I quite like a mystery tour. :>)
Glad Daisy is doing well and Crusha is taking such good care of her. What a little sweetie he is. I can see the piccie of her as I type. She is so lovely. Suki is all curled up on her beanbag. She curled up on the chair, in the frontroom, whilst I made cards. She is a strange cat..strange in that she doesn't like sitting on laps but she loves to sprawl out on the floor and get fusses. Is her right..cats have minds and wills of their own..it is what makes each one of them special.
Well, heading back off to facebook. I haven't tried that game. I get too preoccupied in Mafia Wars (thank heavens it is only pretendy) or Fairyland. One extreme to the other.
Hope Bob goes from strength to strength and your week is a lovely one.
Sorry haven't been in touch for a while. Been a bit busy, trying to sort things out with Dad, getting out and about and also am a bit addicted to some games on facebook (naught I know).
How are you doing there? Have you done any of the craft fairs yet? I remember you saying there was one around this time or was it November? My memory is bad.
How are the kities? Suki is doing okay, considering her age. She doesn't go outside much (unless I do) and is getting a bit cold now.
My garden has come on a treat. I now have more Rosemary and some Heather although am not buying any more seeds or plants till spring.
One of the herbs (from the packet you sent me) is growing well although haven't a clue what it is yet. :>)
My friend has ordered me a book for garden birds because I have a birdhouse and leave food balls for my feathered friends and what to find out what types come to my garden. I haven't got a clue but am willing to learn.
You did have a bit of spree!!! Hopefully I will be able to get them parcelled up for you this weekend, and yes we have lots of pens. Bob is in hospital at the moment - would you believe this is our holiday!!! - so I don't know all of the woods but if you have a special type of wood in mind I'll ask him. The only ones I can remeber are the pen and pencil sets in Oak!!! It's me age!!
The only thing that has occurred to me is the postal strike, I'll make some enquiries about sending them a different way. I'll let you know Jill, and many thanks.
I have just been on a bit of a manic spending spree in your shop buying some presents and hoping I'll have everything organised early for a change. Just thought I would mention my address has changed since the last time I bought anything from you. The new address is on the paypal payment page. Are you doing any pens this year by the way?
For some reason I didn't get a notification that you had sent me a message. Big sulky bottom lip, hits the floor here! Ha! Ha!
Glad the card arrived. Was worried, what with the postal strike, that it might arrive just in time for Crimbo 2010. Not dissing the postmen. I have a post woman and she is a poppet..even delivers letters that have my name on but person has got my address wrong. I like posties.
Anyway, know what you mean about getting typing in a muddle. My sedation is starting to work and so my vision is gone squiffy.
Just looked at piccies of Daisy and Crusha. What a team. Like Batman and Robin...as long as it's not George and Mildred.
I planted one lot of the herb seeds you sent earlier today. Will let you know how I get on with them.
As for your doggy. What a scamp. I love dogs but I haven't got the energy (certainly not in the morning, anyway). Perhpas you could try those swedish blinds with slats in. That will confuse him. Meany Mandy!!!
Best get off pc before I fall asleep on the keyboard and all you get is alot of letters, numbers and symbols.
I keep getting up for a while but feel exhausted and then go back to bed. I went to a Ska night with Em last night. We saw Neville Staples, who performed 'Specials' songs, then Pauline Black from the Selector and finally The Beat did a set. The pair of us bopped all night. Thoroughly enjoyed myself but am paying for it today. Well, it is Sunday...day of rest and all that.
Glad to read Paul is doing so well and is happy and has more independence. Send my best wishes to him.
Good news on your holiday too. I can't remember (brain is fuzzy) if you wrote me where you are going but have a glorious couple of weeks away.
No rush on the photo of Crusha and Daisy. I know what it is like trying to get Suki to stay in one place (apart from when she is sleeping) for more than a couple of seconds.
Hope you had a lovely day in the garden. I had planned to mow the front lawn, today, but no chance. Tomorrow, will do if it is warm enough.
