It's been a while

As you can see, it was the start of the year when I last posted. I don't want to get into why, because this is supposed to be a positive blog!

Saying that, I do have a bit of frustration... which is that I have taken photos to put on here, but my PC has decided it doesn't want to read any memory stick that's plugged in! Seems to be an issue with the USB ports (or drivers) but it's a real pain.

Anyway, my intention is to post here more often. I think what slows me down is getting images on here... it's an arty blog, I should post my own pics, but it seems to be a fiddle to do that! Must try harder :o)

Sale purchase

A trip to Hobbycraft this afternoon may have brought the best sale bargain I'm likely to find this year.... I bought this book for only £3.90!
I have admired this book on a few occasions in bookshops, so when I saw it in their sale I fell upon it. OK, so it's not entirely related to my 3 targets of bead embroidery, soutache and bags, but it is full of very inspirational images inside, and who knows, some of it could be added to jewellery or sewn on to bags?
