:hello: Helloooooooo Chalky and everyone else. I`m still here.

Just popping in to let you know I`m still in the land of the living

Been awol lately as been working day job and evening job and getting the Loving Hands recipe book vol 2 all sorted out - phew....
just like the little hamster in the wheel. BUT it is done ! Have a few copies to take down to Lou tomorrow for the fayre and she`ll be able to print off more as she needs them.

Should have been packing stuff tonight but am in serious CBA mode, you know when you get to the stage that everything is too energy sapping and you just want to lie down and zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Have now reached that stage (and beyond) so going to bed now and will get up tomorrow bright and early and get cracking.

Won`t be about for the next few days as will be away for the LH get together so be good, enjoy your weekend and happy crafting.

Will catch up with everything later. Byeeeeeee.

Hi everyone - just reporting in to say that, touch wood, I think I'm starting to feel just a bit more human today; I have been feeling like absolute **** all week, with yesterday making me feel that I was getting worse, so it's a miracle and I hope that it's definitely on the way out!

Elaine and Pam - it's really lovely to hear from you both! And I echo Chalky, where are you, DPixie - it's been ages. I hope Toulouse hasn't swallowed you up!

Chalky - that's a long time without seeing DD2, isn't it? It's going to be a lovely reunion when she comes home and, of course, she'll have a little nephew to meet for the first time, too!

Caracara - that oven-baked clay really is nasty stuff when it's baking. You must be very careful with the fumes. It's supposed to be baked in its own oven but who has a spare oven?! How did it turn out? I used it ages ago to make my own buttons, but then I knew someone who had her own fully-equipped workshop, so she did all the baking for me. I was really pleased with the buttons and would love to make some more, but I would need someone else with a workshop nearby!

Anyway, I'm going to see if I can get some ironing done - slowly!

i didnt realise that, just placed on foil and took out oven tray all apart from shelf itself.

wont be using again no where on instructions does it say you need your own seperate oven but i agree with you aired the kitchen for hours afterwardsand i am about to clean inside of oven with baking soda and water just in case.

the art work it self was fine x x
