Ive no time now Shirls , all those have been made over time. My patchwork was all hand stitched during one long winter, in the evenings, some years ago. Now i have a little time, no nannying to do, and less mum visits, ive been painting and decorating the house. If lock down goes on though i may finish another patchwork that i started about 4 years ago, if i remember how

Lovely idea FFG re the pebble painting. I never really thought of that until recently when a friend told me her and her children paint pebbles and just leave them randomly on the beach for kiddies to find! I thought that was lovely!!

I've got some pens that I can do pebble painting for, I still have not done Marley's little stone for the garden. Perhaps the time to do that is now

samwiseg Marley's stone is lovely, I love the colours. Thanks for your kind words re my crafty bits and bobs, I enjoy giving it a go even if the end result isn't great. Sometimes just the fact your focusing on making something for a couple of hours is enough to give you a break from daily life. I'll be keeping an eye out for any blue glass in future!

I watched a programme on it once, and thought how I would have loved to have done glass jewelry making with a little drill bit and stuff. If you think about it, you always get green, brown and white glass bottles these days but not many blue ones for some reason hence them being valuable! You could start up your own business making that sort of jewelry!

Edit: But I do the odd commissions here and there if people want them I can imagine it's very competative but your work is so good. Glad that you are able to do some commissions though

As a first attempt not bad, but think it could be neater! It looks lovely Sam and I'm sure it wouldn't look the same if it was 'neater'. These things aren't supposed to be 'neat'!!
