New Family Member!

Sadly we lost Sally our dog a year and a half ago to cancer, she was 17.

Meet Gizmo, our bearded dragon. What a cheeky character he is. He's loads of fun and sooooo nosey!

I'M BACK!!!

Well, my blogging came to an abrupt end in early 2011 when I became menopausal, 2 close people died within 2 weeks of each other and I fell off the wagon in spectacular and disastrous fashion!
I spent Christmas 2011 in residential rehab and I'm now a recovering alcoholic and addict.
But now Im BACK, stronger, wiser and definitely madder than before!
I'm very glad to see some old, familiar faces on here and looking forward to catching up with you all xxxxx

I can just tell you're all enthralled!!

Another exciting episode...

..and cos youre all so excited, here's an extra one!!

The Next Episode...

I wanna tell ya'll a story...

It all begins here...

Shit, no!!

Bloody van blew up.  What a shit-eating, ass kicking, ball-breaking few weeks I'm having.

Where do you blog?

(If there's anyone left out there) I wanted to ask you:-

Where do you blog the most?

i.e. In bed is where I do most of mine!

This blog is ACE!!

This is one of my favourite blogs.  It's full of brilliant jewellery ideas and info and I can't get enough of it!!

The Beading Gem

New addition

This is a beauty. Got the pattern out of the latest edition of Step by Step Wire Jewellery.

and I made this at my jewellery course a few weeks ago.  It is fused glass and here's before...

...and after...

Can you dig it?

My veg patch is dug!

We got rid of 3 huge bushes to extend the veg patch by 3 times its size...

and bought a shed...

and some tipi poles...

...before....

....and after.

Yeah, I know, it looked better before.  But give it time!!
