Bye bye May.....

The last day of May is almost over. Already! That means we're now rushing towards the middle of the year. What a scary thought. 

So, despite not having much time to get any crafting done last week, I have managed to have a few hours today with beads. We'd talked about going away in the van last night, but a last minute change of plan saw DH whizzing over to see his mum, and me at home making pizza! And as the weather wasn't too good today we had no plans for walking, so out came the beads.......a bit of purple ........

.........and something to cheer you up on a rainy day .........

I also made my little Guardian Angels into earrings ......

These are currently available in purple, red, blue and yellow. 

I also decided to make something for me for a change - a bagcharm to replace the one I've had on my bag since Christmas! It's rainbow coloured with charms that I love - a cat (obviously), dog bone (of course), Believe charm, a book (I love books!), a heart and a Guardian Angel. There are lots more charms I could have added, but these seemed quite appropriate. 

DH made tea tonight while I crafted (Turkey, roast potatoes and veg - very yummy) and scarily I uploaded a short video of one of my charms to Facebook - eek!! I can't seem to put it here, but this is the bag charm .....

Quite a productive day really, finished off with a bit of painting for some new ideas. 

Watch this space!

Mid week update

Yes it's Wednesday again. Half way to the weekend, but also getting nearer to our main holiday of the year - our two weeks in Scotland. Yay! Not that I'm wishing my life away or anything, but it's the one holiday we have each year where we can really relax, switch off, and basically do nothing. So the countdown has begun. 

However, before we go we have so much to do! We need to get the van serviced and ready, DD has two weekends booked for travelling to Leicester to see her fella, and we're going to try and have a couple of nights away in the van on our own. It's going to be a busy few weeks. 

This week hasn't been too bad so far, I guess. My plants in the greenhouse are doing ok despite the chilly weather recently.........

......and I've managed to make a few bits of jewellery.......

I need to make a lot more before heading off to a craft fair I think. I have loads of ideas for different things too - just need the time to do them! But I'll get there. 

And tonight I ended up with a kneeful of cats again .....

......so cute!
