workshop



last weeks workshop went very well, I think all the ladies really enjoyed it, I was really nervous, but as it happens, I didn't need to stand there & talk as we wouldn't have finished claying until really late!

hot cross buns!



I decided that for tonights workshop, we will make hot cross buns! from the supermarket, I am so nervous, it is my first adult workshop, but I know once i get going I will be in my element, I mean I'm going to be claying & talking about claying, so can't be bad! I'm very organised (makes a change).

Our Muntjac was back over the weekend, I'm certain he was sleeping all saturday morning, behind happy shed, as he came out for breakfast at about 8ish, disappeared behind the shed, & then came back out at about 11 o clock, getting a bit brave I think, perhaps he needs reminding whose garden this is!

I have booked Hylands house Guild craft fair for March 8th & 9th this year, looking forward to that, will get to work on Mothers day, fathers day & easter presents!

Don't stop me now!!!!!



Hello, well so you know, I got a new sewing machine for Christmas, and now Mr H says he is looking forward to seeing bits of thread all over the floor & table now, instead of bits of clay & card (which might have happened once by the way!)


he is much tidier, no, I might as well say, he is a tidy person, I am not!!!


So, now there'll be no stopping me, I'll be making curtains, cushions, peg bags & so on, the house will be bursting with soft furnishings!...I have already made my little girl a cosy toes (pink of course) that will fit, to keep her little toes warm on our long walks to school!


I have got a workshop booked in a couple of weeks time, & I'm still wondering what to do, it is a group of adults, so it can't be anything too easy, but I only have a couple of hours so it can't be anything too difficult! I'm thinking hot cross buns, but I might pre-mix the clay & take it in ready to use little bags.


anyway my youngest informs me she wants to play a game on the "pooter" now, so I'm not going to get anything else done for a bit, back later!
