Good afternoon and I am just so delighted to say Hi to another blog follower....Crafty Jo...welcome ...and I really hope you enjoy it here...please help yourself to tea, coffee and snacks....
I do hope that you had a lovely weekend...I really did...
I seem to have been working constantly for ages So I felt that I just needed some good old play time...so off I set to stay with my lovely friend Yvonne......her and Paul were the most generous and kind hosts....
You know good friends are so important....and yes we did talk a lot, laugh and have a little glass of bubbly....or two...
Look at the view from my bedroom window.....and those gorgeous flowers from their garden..
Another one of our friends popped over to play....now Jane is a very talented lady and showed me some clay work....I think it was polymer clay ...but apologies if I am wrong....but I was concentrating so much on playing with the pasta maker...to produce this....
And then this....
I am so pleased with this necklace.....( good teacher...)
My first ever attempt....so I put it on straight away...
We also did some wire work....I learnt so many new words from Skinner blends to Cabuchones....( and I am such a child...I just kept saying....Cabuchone.....!!!)
And here is my attempt at wire work.....
It was so good to spend quality time but also just to have a go at different crafts...and to learn about other techniques and see what hobbies other people have...
You know it reminded me how important workshops are....and that they are a great way to try something new...even if you think that you won't like it...it is good to have a go....And not to dismiss another craft just because you haven't tried it...
Speaking of workshops if you live in the Anglesey area and fancy joining in with a day workshop using Stamps and Stencils from Clarity just drop me an email

As on Sunday 2nd August we are having our first Clarity Anglesey .....
Come and join us....it promises to be a fab day...
I must go ....as I need to catch up on jobs that I missed over the weekend...
Hugs Jo. xxxx
