My Crafty Life

 We tend to live in a bubble, only seeing what’s right in front of us, or focusing on things that relate to our interests. It’s easy to be unaware of your surroundings, but you might find some new friends if you just take notice of people around you. Your social circle is expanding as we speak, and it can be difficult to stay connected with everyone; however, all it takes is one person with whom you share something in common. After talking with them for a few minutes, they could lead you toward someone else who shares an interest of yours. Before long, your social circle will expand exponentially. Take notice: it’s important! You never know who you could meet. You never know where life might take you. And you never know how many new friendships might come out of seemingly random encounters. Expand your horizons and make more connections by taking more notice today. Who knows where it could lead? Who knows who you’ll meet? And most importantly, who knows how many amazing things will hap...

My top tips for keeping your Craft room organised 1) Lay everything out where you can see it. 2) Make an Inventory List so you know exactly what ypu have got 3) Separate what ypu love from what you have room for 4) Reorganise your supplies in a way that works for you. Eg colour coded, size, company etc. 5) Get rid of things ypu don't need or are not going to use. Charities, schools etc will often take them off your hands. I hope that helps.                            Until next time                        Keep Crafting

I have always had an interest in crafts and handmade items of all kinds, but I never considered myself to be very good. I set up an Instagram account first and I got some very nice comments about the things I had made. I thought it might be a good idea to share with you my typical crafty day. As you know I am at present a nurse, although I don't know how much longer I will be working. I'm hoping I can retire in the next couple of years. Anyway this is my crafty day when I am not at work. I wake up  roll out of bed and head downstairs for breakfast. I'm not a fan of huge breakfasts but I have to have something. After breakfast it's time to take Star out gonna walk. She loves her walk. After that it's back home and into The Craftroom. I spend some time finishing of a project  orcstarting a new one. I always seem to have more than one project on the go at once. At the minute I am working on some new items for a nature themed fair I am taking part in in April. I usually...

I have been taking anxiety medication for about three years now. Life suddenly got on top of me and I had a bit of a meltdown. My husband took me off to our GP who thought it was best to start me on some medication. Over the past year I have been feeling much better and with the help and support of my GP I have been reducing the dose. Nine day's ago I took what I hoped was my last pill. I was fine for the first five days, and then suddenly I wasn't. I had a couple of bouts of nausea. Then I started to feel dizzy and my balance was all over the place. I decided to stick with it and I would be fine. Unfortunately this was not the case. This morning when I was coming down the stairs I took a bit of a tumble. I just fell down a couple of stairs. I was fine but did think I had better do something about it. After speaking  to my GP she has prescribed me a tiny dose of Sertraline. I am going to take it every day for four weeks and then alternate days for four weeks. Fingers crossed th...
