Weekend Away

Have returned from a super weekend away with a border morris side, Pretty Grim and the Bounty Hounds

My revamped caravan

Dinner cooking

And served up

On Sunday the rain finally stopped and music began

Bad blogger returns

 It has been such a long time since I've blogged but I have been really busy. My personalised bunting really seems to be taking off and I have had 5 orders in the last 2 days. I completed one for another crafter then started on the example above which is for one of my daughter's friend's baby. I posted it on facebook not expecting too much but the orders seem to be rolling in.

I have also been working on handmade cards after selling a few at my first craft fair

 Again after posting a few on facebook I got an order for a pink VW campervan thank you card

 Tomorrow I am off to see Sian, Ian and Ella again.....am charging my camera battery ready for more photos of Ella....you have been warned!

New venture - new blog

Lots of exciting things have been happening. I have decided to concentrate on my sewing and craft activities and forget about my past teaching life. To that end I have began advertising myself on facebook and have created a new blog - Baytree Creations.
Already I have got a few orders and the opportunity to display my work in a retail shop. It's all early days and I have loads to do but its so exciting

Grandma's phone

Things have all settled down at the moment and on Thursday I visited my two favourite girls, Sian and Ella. Ella loves going through my bag and this week decided to have a go with my phone. Not only did she turn it on but she also managed to connect to the internet - she will be texting by the time she is 3!!
