It's been a while..

Wow. I haven't used this in over a year! I have been on a few interesting blogs lately, which made me want to log back on and share my ramblings, crafty makes and purchases with you all..
I hope everyone has had a fab Easter weekend! I spent the weekend at Now We Are, a live music festival at The Public, West Bromwich, selling my pretty things.

Slacking..

3 months no blog. Not the way forward really is it!
I have been so busy working 2 jobs and creating things in my spare time, I have abandoned my (not long started) blog - tut tut!

A little update;
- I have been taken on permanent at the children's centre I have been working at since November, although I am off ill at the moment with a viral/respiratory infection.
- I've had a bit of a rubbish start to the year, finding out I worked with someone who has recently been arrested on a child abuse charge is not the best :( - awaiting this Friday to find out his plea.
- I have lots of pretties that I want to make, its just finding the time to do so.
- We are also in the middle of decorating at home, but with the 3 of us working different hours, its hard to get on with it - the living room is almost done (only the hall, kitchen, bathroom to do.. lol).

Hope all are well and have had a good start to 2011.

One of those moods..

I woke up today in one of those moods.. Which just makes this cold, wet, grey, dreary day just that little bit worse. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain, & I 'specially love watching it from the window & listening to it whilst lying in bed all snug.. But nope, not today. It didn't help that I had it confirmed my wage was lower than I was first told - a 'misunderstanding' in the interview. Hmm. & as I am being emergency taxed, I just wonder why on earth I bother to work! I also came home from work early as they didn't need me (meaning less hours worked, less pay) to find my dog had decided to 'open' one of my parcels.. Vintage scarves aren't for you Chelsea Boo!!

Sorry to sound so depressing. I'm off to parcel up some jewellery & pop to the post office (in the cold).

I am craving a hot chocolate, with whipped cream... marshamallows.. chocolate sprinkles... mmmm. But as I only have the hot chocolate, that will have to do for tonight. Will most certainly warm me up on this freezing cold night.

Night all.. ♥



Moon River

Just a quick post.. I love this. Hope you all have a good evening.

For me it is soup infront of the tv and bed with a hot chocolate - I have a long day ahead tomorrow (work twice).

Night all ♥

Busy Busy Bee..

Sorry I haven't blogged lately. I have had a bit of a busy week!

I went to Disney on Ice last Thursday, it was amazing!! I'm such a big kid at heart. I went with my friend Sarah and her friend Sophie, was a nice girly night out - specially as we had a perv on some topless men (at Disney on Ice, I know - shocking ;p ) and a few cheeky vinos after.

Saturday - I had a stall at a Ladies Day, which was held at a church hall. It was a lovely day, really busy compared to other craft fairs I have sold at, and the people there were so nice :)

Sunday - I went to the NEC (Birmingham) to the Hobby Crafts show.. Heaven - lots & lots & lots & lots of crafty goodies. I steered clear of the beads as I have enough at the moment, and I'm awaiting the arrival of lots of new charms - But got some lovely papercraft bits & bobs (as I also enjoy cardmaking). Got a heat gun and embossing powders so will try that out on my cards soon, see how I get on :) . Its a fab day out for all crafty people, but very tiring (my body ached the next day! - shows how unfit I am eh!)..

Monday - I had no work, yet lots of custom charm bracelet to make. Made as many as I could before I ran out of chain (bad times!).. So now I'm just about to order some more (& may sneak a few charms in too)!

Also going to look into the Princes Trust, as would love to start up a small business with my jewellery etc. Have plenty of ideas just not sure if it would work, so hopefully look into it.

Hope all are well.

On repeat..

Aww I love this song <3

I haven't been sleeping properly lately, hence the sort of late blog.
I haven't had any work from the agency all week, which is, well, just rubbish - as that means no money next week (BAD TIMES!).

Just to let you all know from now until Sunday I have an offer on customised charm bracelets; £8 inc UK P&P. Bracelets are normally £10+ and P&P on top. Please check out my facebook page and have a nosey :)
