Good morning and wishing you a blessed Sunday.

Wow, time is Flying! Only 2 months before Christmas! How are your Christmas plans going? We still do not know where we will be spending Christmas day. We do not know who we will be spending the day with or our Secret Santas yet. I have passed on the decisions to our sons and their wives. Normally I have some idea by now!

Good evening all. I hope you have all had a good day.

I am late posting today because we had no internet this morning 😠. We had a home viewing this morning, in the rain. The flat was far too small, up a steep flight of stairs, so we continue hoping for the one we saw on Wednesday.

I am looking forward to a longer time in bed tomorrow, how about you?

I have just read about this, does anybody have further details or what it means for us small businesses?

Sooo… what is everyone planning on doing when Facebook starts stealing all our art/intellectual property on the 30th - to train the ever hungry AI 🙄 😩 Things just go from bad to worse on this platform… but I’ve put so much time and effort into being here and I love my community here 😭 😭 At some point though the writing on the wall becomes too clear. And this is just taking it too far. If anyone else is considering a move elsewhere, where are you going? I’m considering Bluesky - anyone else?

Pic for attention…

Advice please. More pieces of jewellery I found when sorting out my crafty stash.
What should I do with them.

Good morning, lovely humans! 😃💙

When you decide to start your own little business, you imagine spending your days happily doing something you love!

Nobody mentions that you’ll also become the receptionist, photographer, accountant, packing department, advertising manager, social media manager, cleaner, tea lady and goodness knows what else! 🤣

And the worst part? There’s nobody to delegate any of it to because it’s just YOU! 😂

Here’s to all the small business owners out there, juggling a hundred different jobs and somehow keeping all the plates spinning! 🫶❤️

Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Good morning. I have not had the energy to post the last couple of days. Between working my day job, clearing the clutter, making more stock ffor Christmas there is not much time for social media.

Today I have a busy day, but not doing the day job. We are hopefully having a home viewing, which we are feeling quite positive about. Maybe my dreams last night of packing were a sign.

Anyway these are two gonks I made a few years ago, they stand about 50cm high, so great for standing next to a fireplace.

Enjoy your Wednesday xx

I was sorting out some of my crafty stash yesterday. In sorting out my jewellery making items to give to a fellow crafter, I came across a load of pendants on cha8ns that I had made. These are some of the more special ones. I am not sure what to do with them? I do not want to just give them away.

Good morning all. I hope you all have a lovely day.

Remember it is a good thing to rest. Our batteries need recharging for this hectic life we lead. Also relationships, especially family relationships, are precious.

Good morning and happy Saturday.
