Crafty News

Morning folks...I am currently sitting on some fabulous crafty news that unfortunately I can't share with you just yet but as soon as I get the green light from the lady concerned I will hooting...tooting and shouting from the rooftops....I am so excited.  In the meantime you will just have to settle for a boring old update of cubbyhole news. The crafty production line is in full swing again and how typical that the weather has taken a turn on the sunshiney bright side...well it was bound to happen now that the kiddywinks are back to school....yes we've had 3 whole days in a row of blue skies and it's sod's law that the cubbyhole crew are stuck indoors slaving away with lots of prep...but hey ho someone's got to do it and it looks like my name was drawn out of the hat.  It's BIG GIRL KNICKER TIME again and the reward for all that gritting of teeth and pulling my hair out will be fun times away meeting up with lots of lovely crafty folks....kicking off with...

Not working this time round so I will have my Cubbyhole Chief Buyer's hat on and popping down on Thursday for a general nose around and a meet up with crafty buddies....if you want to join the coffee and chat gang...just get in touch. Fiskars have decided not to attend and it may well be a blessing in disguise...because the following week it's...
THE NEC
3-6 November
4 days of Fiskars Workshops
and I think I'm getting a bit long in the tooth now for those 2 day turn arounds...just time to grab some clean knickers and off again.
And before we know it will be the biggest logistical nightmare of them all...
CHRISTMAS
and another year gone...
so no time for sitting around watching TV..the Cranford and Downton Abbey Boxed Sets will be staying in the drawer for the foreseeable future. But before I head into the cubbyhole for another day of crafty excitement....it's time for my favourite part of the day and a great de-stresser to boot....my morning stroll accompanied by The Furry Boy...my gorgeous bundle of golden deliciousness and cubbyhole companion...just a pity he's no good at prep.
Catch up with you all tomorrow with hopefully something remotely resembling a card.
