Today, I was in town at lunchtime to give Kayleigh money for my phonebill and I met a friend who was looking for a 60th birthday card for his wife, and was unable to find one. I jumped in and told him what my job was so he commissioned me to make one for him and personalise it with his wifes’ name, Angela. I asked him what her preference was in style, and he said it was cute and cuddly teddy bears; so I chose to make one of Popcorn Bear as I have a cd of Popcorn Bear pictures from Crafters Companion. Today was supposed to be my ebay day but as it was still work I set to creating one to take to cell group tonight.  It took 5 hours from planning to printing to creating and finishing. I did break for tea and coffee but skipped a meal to get it completed in time.

I can’t tell you how much I have missed having broadband since I moved into my new apartment. I can now take photos of my projects that I am doing and upload them to here more often and hope to build up a lasting relationship with many of my friends, old and new.

Today I am tidying up my craft room, don’t think I will get it finished, but at least I can make a deep impression on it and I will let you know the progress tomorrow. This is an “in progress” photo and it got worse than this before it got better! Any crafter will know what I mean…
