Is anyone else having problems ?

My last post a few days ago seems to have dissapeared, it was a brief bit about my hubby coming home at last from hospital and how he will be going to Barts hospital for further surgery soon.

I also posted my new vintage brooches and asked about clasps and costing, now I know at least 8 people commented but before I could read them everything just went, is it just me ? blogger did leave a message saying it was down but I could find nothing further, I would love to hear from you all again if you don't mind :) unless of course we'er all floating in cyber space.
hope to hear from you soon

Just popping in

To say hi, hubby came home after17 days in hospital, life has been on hold, he's not out of the woods yet as he needs to go to Barts in London for further surgery, but we are being positive and keeping cheerful.

I have made a start on my re-worked jewelry, I have made 3 brooches, at the moment they have no clasps but I'm sure I will find some on E bay unless of course you know better :)
 This isn't the best photo but you can get the idea I took them to a monthly market my daughter did last week and lots of people commentated. I have also offered to make one off items using peoples own bits of jewelry but I'm just useless at costing, can anyone help me out here ? I intend to put them on a card when finished.

I hope your all enjoying the lovely weather, Easter and the Bank Holidays went with a bit of a blur for us, so we saved our Easter cake and eggs for hubbys homecoming, who needs Weight Watches I hardly had anything to eat whilst he was in hospital, even the dog lost some weight :)

Popping out now
 bye  Cate x

greedy guts x 2

It feels like ages since I was on here blogging, having some time off is really what I have been needing, (not from you  in fact I have missed all your chatty news it has been good to catch up on everyone) but from school, as much as I enjoy my job sometimes I wish I could stay at home but then I know full well I would get bored. I think most of us are realising just how hard this past Winter has been, the illness I have doesen't do Winter so I now feel like I'm coming out of hibernation, I've even done a bit of gardening and made a new friend x1
  he's a bit of a greedy guts and follows me wherever I go, we also have a nest of baby Robins in the shed.

Now do you like chocolate ? x2

Depending on your age you may not know that C.D.M. stands for the bar of chocolate below, if I remember
  rightly there was an advert where you could be awarded a C.D.M. as a medal of honor.
 A very kind friend who has been travelling the world called into Cadbury World and bought us this kilo bar, it was too big to take back to Oz so we had to have it instead, such a shame :)



I am hoping to make some reworked jewelry for a monthly market my daughter and I are doing in May, it has a mix of vintage, antique and second hand items, I'm not much good at sewing or crochet so I thought I would give this idea plus my boxes a go, this is some of the bits I have got together, now I just need to get my making head on :)

 Hope your all enjoying the lovely weather in the U.K. I promise to catch up with everyones blog soon.
Hi to all my new followers when did that happen :)
Bye for now Cate x
