Apologies, avid readers, for my once again unavoidable delay in filling you in on the trivial goings on in my craft life.
You know those times when life just seems to get on top of you? Yeah, I was feeling like that, and then the world decided to give me even more to deal with. On the plus side I'm now not poorly! But I do have a very important meeting tomorrow and it's half 4 and I can't sleep because of muscle spasms in my back. I have a feeling it's not going to go brilliantly.
Due to a miscommunication somewhere along the line I now don't have a craft stall on Saturday as I had originally thought. That's probably a good thing because I've been so busy I've barely had time for naps. And I love naps.
I've been having issues with funding for support services which I won't go into too much detail about but it's been stressing me out too much to even want to make things, which is a very rare occurrence but I did manage with some moral support to make a load of "Breakfast Pockets" thanks to a tip off from a friend. And then I made some gingerbread because gingerbread is awesome.
I managed this evening to do a big batch of water marbling so expect (not soon) some new earrings to be available! I'm particularly excited about some Saturn shaped charms.
It slides away! How neat is that!?

I also had a late night craft moment last week. I was on some steroids for my really nasty cough and decided to dye my bathroom floor, as you do. I think the steroids were making me feel a little strange. Anyway, I was pretty pleased with the result and here it is with my brand new, eye-wateringly orange chair:
I've also played around a bit more with my 3doodler, making a festive rudolph!
And I've been wasting a lot of time playing with these addictive little magnets.
One very exciting thing that has happened this week is that my ever wonderful father has finished making one of my new desks, and here it is, in situ. It's a great height to work at in either my new chair, or, as pictured, my wheelchair. This means lots of options for reducing joint pain which makes me a very happy Colourful Crafter!
Anyway, I think that's probably everything even vaguely interesting.
If I don't get round to writing again beforehand, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas if you're celebrating it, a fantastic yule if that's your thing, a happy winterval if you're from Birmingham City Council, and a great festive season and new year, celebrating or not.

P.S.
Mau posed under my Christmas tree all by himself. I know I'm biased, but he is pretty.
