Back to the grindstone...

I make it sound like hard work don’t I, going back to work. It isn’t. It’s good. Good people and lovely stuff to craft with. Sure, I’ve done a lot of crying into my paint pot, but we’ve also had a laugh as well - which sometimes feels like an emotion you will never be able to retrieve doesn’t it - happiness. 

So, my grindstone has ground away a little sadness. And brought in some light. And I managed to create things I was happy with - AALL and Create though. Easily done.

I’ll share a few of my makes for you.

This weekend I’m back in Brighton, doing workshops all weekend. I was supposed to be with the fantastic Clarity team today, but knew that may be a little to much for me. Sadly. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Tomorrow we are trotting off to Portsmouth. We have a joint workshop, which I’m really looking forward to. I know there’s places left if anyone wants to join us...but you’d have to book ASAP otherwise we won’t be able to pack your goody bag in time.

On Sunday we visit tonbridge wells. First time we’ve done this venue as well, so looking forward to it. I do like going to new venues, it’s a little adventure.

I hope you can join us, but if not, I’ll be back on the box next Tuesday, so will give you a wave.

It was lovely to see you back Leonie, especially with AALL and Create stamps and stencils. Your projects are lovely, I especially love the technique of putting the spritzed block on the card - brilliant! xxx

So glad to see you back on the telly box this week, one day at a time is the only way to go. Hope you have a good weekend, if you ever get to the wilds of North Norfolk to demo I will be first in the queue, and I will bribe you with vegan cake too.

Great to see you back and smiling too. I find keeping busy helps you get through, take each day as it comes and don’t feel bad if some days are more sad than others, it’s all part of the process. Xxx
