The post below about my friend Rhiannon's '30 things to do before I'm 30' has got me thinking, which is never a good sign. My next milestone is - rather terrifyingly - 40, and I'm all too aware that there are an awful lot of things I haven't done with my life so far. Jobwise, I love what I do and I'm really pleased I'm doing something crafty as well, but what else have I missed?
For example, I have ALWAYS wanted to learn to tango. I'd also love to learn silversmithing - either with the actual metal, or these days with artclay (thus opening up copper and bronze as well....ooh!). I'd like a proper cooking lesson, to go in a helicopter, to learn Welsh and/or French, I want to finish (oh, OK, start) the cross stitch version of Seurat's 'Sunday Afternoon', to learn to make a dress...and wear it! I want to go back to West Wales and show my kids where I used to spend my summer holidays and where I went to college. Soooo many things.....
Better start that list now, and then I have 3 years to do it!
Crafty makes, beautiful things, random thoughts, books, vague ramblings.

Rhi's 30 before 30: 30 things to do before I'm 30
A really exciting project by a friend of mine....almost inspiring me to make a '40 before 40' list....

Where did June go?
All of a sudden it's July and I haven't managed a post for almost a month. I'd like to say it's because I've been out doing really exciting things but mostly I've been asleep!
On the few evenings I managed to stay awake I did get out and about occasionally though! I had a stall at a local school's Pamper Evening, which meant I avoided another dire England match - I didn't make much money but it meant that people could see what I do and they've invited me back to their Summer Fete next weekend. I'm making piles of pocket money items like worry beads and phone charms as these are what sold the other week. Here's some of my new stock - it'll be available on the website and in my new Faceboook shop soon! Find the new shop here - just click on the 'Shop Now' tab at the top of the page.
I also had a fun packed birthday weekend, including a fabulous night out at Camden Roundhouse where I saw a friend perform with the London Gay Men's Chorus in their Seven Deadly Sins show. You can see a video of it here, and if you ever get the chance to see them then jump at it! I'm trying to embed the video too, but it may be beyond my limited technical capabilities (if it's not copy & paste, I can't do it...I do seem to be able to 'share' it directly from youtube, though, so keep your eyes on this blog). On the day itself we took the girls up to High Beach in Epping Forest and had a picnic in the sunshine, and in the evening we saw The Gaslight Anthem at Brixton Academy, who seem to get better and better with each album!
Right, back to my making for the school fete!
