A bit of light dusting
Hmm, it has grown rather dusty around here. My apologies, a slow and temperamental internet connection was replaced by a non-existent connection and goodness, did I regret cursing the slow when presented with nil.
Thankfully all is as it should be (fingers tightly crossed) and normal service may resume.
Half term week came and went too quickly as always. There were times when Spring made way for Summer with long, warm days, the sort of days that we love to spend doing very little and that is just what we did. Time passed gently as we read books, constructed Lego, planted seeds and re-discovered the joys of Scrabble.
But I have been a little busy behind the scenes as I sit at my sewing machine below those big Suffolk skies.
Busily working, sewing up a storm and listing the fruits of my labour upon Not On The High Street. I am very happy to be a small part of Not On The High Street, I like the way they present such a wide variety of products side by side. By placing individual makers like me, who produce small runs and even one off items, right next to the more familiar, widely produced items they make hand-crafted items much more readily available to shoppers who might not normally consider such items.
I am really hoping that this move will be a good one for me. I have been so long out of the regular labour market and my original work skills have become somewhat obsolete. The last few years have shown me that I am very much at my happiest when my work is home-based and whilst I know that selling my handmade goods is unlikely to bring me great big piles of gold but if it helped ease the bills even just a little then I would feel enormously satisfied.

your work is lovely and it sounds as if your days have been the same!
And oh, your pictures of those little girls in their lovely dresses - how sweet is that!
It's a harder life but worth it.
