Friday

Aargh! The tiredness is making itself felt big time here. I know what it is - I get too enthusiastic and overdo it, because I'm fine now, right? And then I end up dizzy, headachey and pooped.  And then I eat sugar and wonder why I don't feel any better. Sigh.  I've just gone back and read previous posts, and surprise surprise, I've said all this before :D 

Anyway, I must rest today because tomorrow I'm helping in the afternoon on our fundraising stall at the Queens Road Summer Market. We collected loads of bric a brac and books, and I made some cute pencil pots - which I forgot to take a picture of before I handed them in. Oh well, I'll just have to post a pic of the makeup brush pot Claire commissioned me to make instead lol.

 

   

Claire wanted plain on the outside and patterned inside (see the little flowered paper there?),
and I added a lace border from my Costco scrapbooking stash

Talking of Claire, she surprised me yesterday with a gift, totally out of the blue. She knows I've been hankering for new cutlery as ours has seen better days, and she has started my new collection with these forks from Laguiole at John Lewis!  I have been meaning to treat myself, but she got there first. Now I'm looking forward to completing the collection ;)

 

See the little Laguiole bumble bee?

She's a good 'un that girl of mine xoxoxo

Fabulous to be aware of when you need to rest Jen. Love the pots and the cutlery.
