What a brilliant day yesterday and I was in such good company, 2 entrepeneurial ladies who I will tell you about later,a doctor,a milliner,a teacher,a very talented group indeed.As always I had 9 Ladies all making 9 different things so today my head still feels as if I have been on a merry go round–not moaning I love it ,as I only teach twice a year it is always a pleasure .My lady milliner has taken my wrapped design to adapt it for using on her hats –ingenious love it.Gay did the twig bracelet which grew into a stunning pearl twig(branch) necklace looked awesome on her.Sue meanwhile did the organic wrapping featuring a stunning David Christianson glass piece and in lovely muted greys very classy and totally Sue.We were spoilt as always at the ned of the day by lovely home baking with our tea then reluctantly for some it was time for home until we meet again on October 25th.Please book early as there will only be space for 9 on this class and some are all ready taken .

I f you follow my twitters you will have heard me twittering about the new Swag bag which is a brilliant idea from Sue and Gay who have launched it now and all ready nominated for New Gift of the Year lets hope they win.I am not going to try to desribe it to you just pop over and see.You will actually wonder how you could manage without it now there is such a thing.All in all a great day .In my excitement yesterday I forgot to get a group picture so forgive me and also picture the pieces individually but believe me a very good standard was reached by all .

Another exciting venture is my being asked to be a tutor on the new craft university site I will be tutoring felting and knitting to start with but it is such a great opportunity to actually be taught by some great artists who rarely come to the UK to teach and all from your own home great.Do come over to have a look around .

Also new fresh site idea to view, beading still to be added with wirework is here .Going for breakfast now and read the papers.

till we bead again,bye

Today Kath has gone to a better place with no pain and is at peace.At the end she slipped away and somehow life will never be the same again,I miss her allready but the cloak of friendship she placed around me will keep me warm in these cold times,and I will never forget her.I pray for all those she has left behind.RIP my dear friend C

When The Sunshine Goes

Chrissie — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:29:28 +0000

Today is a very very sad day for me, my friend Kath of nearly 30 years is dying and just after I sat down to watch the x factor last nuight she took a turn for the worse and started her journey.I chased to the ward and managed to have some time with her whilst she could talk.I cannot say ‘goodbye ‘ as it hurts too much and I have to believe she will still be with me every day, she is more than a sister,friend,soulmate,I love the very essence of her and we have been through life’s adventures together.She has been a second mum to my children and they too love her.Today I have been very qiuet and looked at the weather and the birds and the trees and relived our times in my head. So goodnight my dear friend, come and visit me often, let us laugh again at the absurdities in living, dream of what will be,find calmness and stillness in the silly world and I pray for your safe passage . So for now I feel I have lost everything I will not be posting for a while until my mojo is back and my heart not so heavy,enjoy your families this Christmas and your friends and never take’ forever’ for granted.
