Hints on where and how we find your stuff needed.

If mooloo were to tell you, it would be advertising. However you can either google (she seems to be about the 3rd link down!) or look at her contact information on her profile, or send her a PM.

If you do google to open 3rd link then scroll down to post 24.11.11 to take you else where

Really am I on google, ooh! I will have to google myself! hehe

Errata

if you put mooloo+bags into google it brings up the ebay and folksy web page(s) for what's on sale.
Sue - pls delete this if I'm being naughty

well I have learnt something new myself now! Feels strange seeing links to my stuff on google though!

I went to a crafts day at the town hall today. Got chatting to a lot of other ladies who create, and had a good old snoop. They run a co-operative for crafting, but one said the membership is limited to 15. I have no idea if they have filled thier quota, but gave my details anyway.
I have a couple of potential orders for some bunting, some from my nursery mums and maybe some from an MSE friend. Looking forward to getting creative this coming week. I have been itchng to get to the sewing machine, but with the rooms in dissaray and my stash in the loft I havent had the opportunity. I will need to put the machine on to the dining table and work here in the front room until we are sorted out.
Twin1 was supposed to be doing some of the painting this morning, but I cannot see much done at all. Oh well every inch is an inch less to do I suppose. Maybe I will have a go myself, and just have to push my limits and get it done. Relying on others is not always easy. Its very frustrating indeed.
I am rather stiff and sore today, from standing for 3 hours last night. But I dont have much that has to be done today now, so its not so bad.
Will just need to take all my meds, especially the tramadol. Oh well.
I went into the charity shop after the craft stalls, fatal, I bought a pair of childrens curtains. I loved the fabric, and thought it would make some great bags for kids, as it has cats, dogs, rabbits etc on it, in large Patches. I also have an idea for turning them into some soft toys, if I can find the right things to back them with. Experiment anyway. £6 spent.

I was inbed at the same time as DGD last night. Culmination of too much standing and extra walking during the previous 24 hours.
Heated underblanket does wonders. Although I am still stiff today.
Biggest of Mooloo sent a Happy Mothers Day text at 7.30am. DGD didnt wake up until just gone 8am.
Its a slow potter day for me today, and a visit to my Mum later.
The sun that was shining at 7ish has now been hidden by the clouds. A dull old completely covered sky. Yuk.

Seems like a very long day today. Went to see my Mum and Dad around 10am, came home around 12.15. Managed a no spend day! Yipee. Dispite DGD wanting to go to the shop for sweets. I played around with a pair of her jeans and drew up a trouser pattern, and have been making her a pair of jeans out of BF's jeans. Not quite finished, and will have to see if they are any good, as I did it by eye and not by tape measure. But if anything it kept me occupied. I watched the highlights of the grandprix. Well done to Jenson Button.
Still find Sundays the worst days without the BF and its not helped by pointless text messaging.
Briefly met the new neighbour over the garden fence, when I was bringing the washing in. It didnt really dry out there as the sun only just came out about an hour ago.! Oh well never mind.
Think I will have to record the programmes that I want to watch as I am so tired, and am actually a bit frustrated/bored which is not usual for me. Restless feelings but so tired.
I have told DS he has to come and finish painting the bedroom for DGD tomorrow as I am sick of waiting for it to be finished. So tomorrow will be a bit of a busy day, as I will have to take him back again as well. Not quite in the budget the extra petrol, but needs must.
Maybe I will have a soak in the bath after DGD has gone to bed. We will see. I shall go and light a scented candle and see if I can callm the feelings of frustration/restlessness down.
Got a couple of bunting orders to sort out, so may have to have a dig around in the loft tomorrow for the right fabrics. Always see something I had forgotten while I do that, which takes my creative buzz in other directions.
My Dad gave me 4 of his shirts. He bought new ones, and doesnt like the feel of them, so he said do I want them. Then after a while he said what would you make out of them. I said they would make good silkstyle purses. He seemed satisfied with that, and I may make some clothes for DGD out of them as well. We will see. They could make good cushions too.
I would like to practise making more applique things. I am not used to practising techniques without actually making something. But I think if I want to brush up on things that I havent done in years then I should.
Right time to get on and wash up, dinner was early tonight. (Cos I was bored!).

Just been looking at the statistics on my blog, over 7,000 viewings which is surprising. But interestingly since a mention of my blog there has been 125 visits this week. I shall have to make sure I get my pictures into it and update it on a more regular basis, and put in a link to the shops. But I dont know how to do that. Looks like I can stave the boredom by investigating that one.

DGD has the penny pot all over the floor. Arg, I took ages picking them up before. Its time to get the bags from the bank and get some of it bagged up and swapped over/paid in.

I have my dream picture of a house in Portugal printed off and its now on my wall to inspire me!.

Well the day didnt go as planned. But it was a busy day.
The nursery was late opening as they were short staffed. The when I collected DS he was really not too well, and so it meant that he was a bit slow to do anything. He did some of the painting but then we ran out of paint. So we have to get more and homebase were out of it.
We went to Aldi and did a shopping. They now owe me £20 each for thier food, as DS has lost his Giro cheque. Stupid boy.
The flat was in such a mess, that I just had to get stuck in and clear up. I was 2 hours there, but at least the kitchen, bathroom and front room are done.
I started on my Bunting, the pink order, and gathered some red fabrics for the second one.
But now I am in agony so I will have to rest.

Had a soak in the bath, only just managed to get out of it!
Watched some TV on granddesigns etc and then went to bed.
This morning I was awake by 6.30. The neighbours are rumaging around in thier drawers etc and I can hear them so that was me up. DGD is still asleep, but I will go and wake her in a few minutes. Been enjoying the peace and quite.
One wash load just finished.
Still need to wash up from last night though. One of my down fallings.
checked my email, and just splurged on a Wowcher, for £23 for a 12 months Portuguese language course. I am so rusty at it, and I really would like to be better at it, so I thought that it was worth it. Hopefully anyway. Can redeem my wowcher on Saturday apparantly.

One more step in the direction of the dreams.
Now I need to do more practical things like get my health back on track, and get my sewing done, and out there properly. If I dont make anything, I cant expect to earn anything can I?
To make a dream come true, I think I would also need a miracle here or there, but never mind. Its given me a purpose. My little picture of a dream is on my wall to focus on, and this morning I found a couple of prints that I must have bought about 10 years ago, so they can be framed and ready to put in my workroom (If I ever get it), ready to inspire me.

Better reload the washing machine, and wake up DGD ready for Nursery.
Told twin1 and DS, that I would go over there, and get the flat finished today. No ifs or buts, and DS wants me to sit in on an interview at 3pm so its going to be a busy day. Again.
Have to do what ever I want to do, between 9.15 and 11.15 today, as when i get back I will be whacked out, and probably in a worse state then I am already!. Such is life. Thankgod I do not do it every week.!
