Hi there, (again) just thought I'd stop by to try writing the kind of post that isn't earth shattering but will fill ten minutes, I'm guessing they're quicker to write and easier to read than my usual ones!
I just wanted to share some changes, and hopefully exciting news.
Im hoping to start a folksy shop, and I've sent off some pics to request a stall in regular vintage craft Market.
I've tinkered about with bits of string and buttons for too long, it's time to stop filling my drawers (ooer) with makes and see if anyone would pay good money for them.
It's early days, but I'm determined to push on, and to prove it, from now on, I will be mostly wearing red lipstick to look more professional and together than the usual mum of two, (who doesn't get to brush her hair until lunchtime normally.)
This is turning out to be another of those long ones, so I will leave you now with the lesson I've learnt today which is that when wearing red lipstick you should limit toddler kissing if you want to avoid them looking like they've murdered someone and then eaten them!

Moving Ohm
I'm back, with another story to tell (are you sitting comfortably?.. Good then I will begin)
When my mum died (stick with me, there's a happy ending) and I was clearing her belongings I found a small pendant with the Ohm symbol on it. Mum wasn't a spiritual person so I found this a little bit strange but kept hold of it because it intrigued me. Over the next few weeks I kept it with me, in a pocket, under a pillow, on the windowsill, until one day I realised I'd forgotten where it was, couldn't find it anywhere, and felt a little bit lost without it.
As weeks turned into years I found that it would reappear, under a bed, behind a cushion, in the washing machine, and everytime I found it again I'd have a minute of reflection and then carry on.
Last week I had a clear out, took most of the contents of my bedroom to the local charity shop. The following day whilst admiring my tidy jewellery box I remembered that I'd made a bracelet and put the Ohm on it, so I wouldn't keep forgetting where I'd left it. Yep, you've probably guessed already, I'd accidentally put the bracelet it the charity shop bag, it was gone. I felt sick, I panicked, I thought about going to buy it back. Then I thought perhaps that was meant to happen, someone will buy a bracelet of buttons, and beads, and ribbon, and will find the pendant nestling amongst them, they will be intrigued, they will have a moment of reflection and the story will continue for someone else.
No I won't tell you which charity shop it went to, that would be cheating!
I'm sure you've read enough now, but stick with me, there's a photo coming.
After this Ohm related event I've been thinking about other possessions that I have that might need to move on.
The cheering up jumper (see my previous posts) being one of them. So here goes, Its very poorly constructed, very bright, and one size fits all (unless you are slim in which case you will need a belt to avoid slipping right through the neck hole).
If you know of anyone who needs cheering up, and isn't allergic to yellow, then let me know, I will post the jumper on to you to give to them and hopefully they will do the same when their smiles have returned.
So here's your chance to be part of a story. No need to tell me their personal problems ( unless it will help) I trust your judgement on someone's need for a smile.
Ready, steady, let's go and spread some smiles.
