Bye bye September

I can't believe it's the end of September already. Autumn is well and truly on its way. The leaves are turning beautiful shades of orange and gold, and just for a few days the sun has been shining too. Its been quite mild here this week too - very unusual considering the weather we had over summer. 

DD has been travelling quite a bit this week - off on the motorway to Manchester Monday and Tuesday, and then today on the train to Stafford for her first managers meeting. Then back to Manchester tomorrow. I think she's just looking forward to next week when she can go back to working in her local store which takes only 15 minutes to get to! 

I was off work Monday and Tuesday. I went to a funeral on Monday, then took my car to the garage yesterday for a service and MOT, which thankfully it passed. While I was waiting for my car I had time to browse the shops nearby and have a proper look at what they have. Quite a novelty for me as I don't normally enjoy browsing. I bought some clothes and some craft things (no surprises there). 

Talking of crafts (which is quite often with me), I've been busy making jewellery this week for a change, as I said I'd take a few more pieces in to my hairdressers this week. So this is what I came up with yesterday.....

I've made a few pairs of earrings tonight too. And I'm also waiting for some more clay shapes to dry thoroughly so that I can sand and paint them. 

It's all go here you know!
