Hellooooo...

It’s been more than a while since I posted on my blog. I honestly didn’t think the last time was February however! Good grief, where has spring and summer gone! Well, that’s that, the leaves are turning, and the rivers are bubbling away over their banks - and the heating is on.

You find me with just Dave the dog to keep me company. Sadly I had to let my beautiful Dylan go, which broke my heart, and I know Dave has missed him. He was 14, and really struggling to walk. But those eyes, still bright and happy. It’s such a tough decision isn’t it. I had him since he was born, so 14 years of happiness, which absolutely makes the sadness of his passing utterly bearable. Dave is loving the extra hugs, and the longer walks. He’s even taken to barking when he’s excited, which used to be his brothers job!

Work is still fantastic. I love my job. I’ve had a number of one day specials, which have meant I’ve been able to work with Jane Davenport and La Blanche goodies. I’m incredibly lucky! My Let Loose shows are still going strong, and we have introduced quite a few brand new companies to Hochanda, which is always exciting.

As usual, I’m going to promise to try and keep my blog updated.....fingers crossed xxxx. Happy crafting folks 

Happy New Year

Hi folks.  Sorry, this post is later than I planned....I'm going to blame technology, I couldn't load photo's from my phone, so had to wait for my lap top before I could do anything.  How frustrating eh!

Anyway, my Happy New Year wishes are just as sincere.  I hope you all had a nice evening, and lets hope 2017 brings us happiness and love.

2016 was a mixed bag of a year for me.  I started my brand new adventure with Hochanda and Crafters Companion. I can't believe that was only last year!  It was a big step for me, and a risk leaving a job I loved in an established company - to join a start up.  But, it has gone from strength to strength, and I'm so pleased I made the leap.....it's good to be excited yet terrified at times!

Life was fun, exciting, it had good times and unfortunately some sad times....but that's what we all have to deal with isn't it, and there's always something positive to be gained from the hard times.

2017.....well, let the adventures continue. Who knows what the year holds, but I hope we can all go into 2017 peacefully and.....CRAFTILY!!!  Bring on the craft :)

I've waded through some of my photo's from the year....I love doing this. I've picked just a few to share with you.....
