Well hello to everyone.
Im sorry that the blog has been at a stand still for such a long time but I have been extremely busy doing lots of nothing really but never having any time out!!!!! Since my last blog my family has grown to now include 2 more delightful granddaughters.
During this quiet phase on the blog I have remained busy with my craft. I still attend the local craft market where business is booming as well as opening up my 'unused' formal lounge and dining room to the local crafters etc.
Its lovely to have people to pop in to see what I have to offer or what the latest item is that I have made. Its so much more personal as you can have a chat/coffee.
Our local community hosts a large schnapper competition at Easter time and on the Saturday they hold a large community fair. I shall be participating this year with all of my lovely goodies so at this point in time its heads down and get some stock happening!!!!!!!!!
When I have accumulated some goodies I will post a photo for you all to see that I have really been working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I promise I will try to blog a little more often and I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Regards

Ruth

Happy Easter to all.
Since posting my first blog we welcomed another Granddaughter into the family. All doing very well. Big sister isnt fazed at all (YET)
I have just completed my three items for Aprils edition of The Chocolate Crow Trader and boy do I feel relieved.
I shall give you a sneak preview and hope that it will tempt your craft buds enough to log into The Chocolate Crow Trader on the 15th April to see the other items not to mention items from other very talented people.

I have just had the most wonderful day. My friend, saviour, mentor and any other name that you can think of has come to visit for a few days and has helped me out no end with the computer side of things not to mention a lot of other "stuff" If it wasnt for this "friend" I would not be doing this blog/business. She has encouraged, bullied and pushed me to the limits of no return and here I am.

Stella (pictured left along with Elaine -centre and myself )is very passionate about craft and has been encouraging me every step of the way to step out of my comfort zone.

I just hope along the way I dont disappoint her. Thanks Soooooo much Stella, I dont know how to repay you.

Now I think I am ready to tackle setting myself up in The Chocolate Crow Trader in April.

AWESOME
