Handmade Monday, Hello, Good Evening and Welcome

Welcome back to Polly Polkadot blog.  I've been taking a break from the blog world during the school holidays.  Whoops I'm so out of practice I forgot to put my link in, please take a look at everyone else who takes part in Handmade Monday over at 1st unique gifts.

We even managed a bit of a break ourselves - a few days in Somerset visiting family (although I did squeeze in a craft fair down their too!).

Last week saw my little girl growing just that bit bigger by turning 5.  Never one to miss an opportunity to convert new crafters, I made little cotton bags for the party bags, and encouraged the children to decorate them with die cuts.

Whilst I have been busy all summer, both with the children and jewellery making, I feel like I have been treading water in a panicky fashion.

I hope to move forward over the next few weeks, however a friend kindly pointed out that I shouldn't start making any plans just yet  - as I still have this terms tummy bugs, earraches and of course nits to cope with yet!  Sometimes I feel honesty isn't the best policy and I wish he  had kept his thoughts to himself!!!

butter wouldn't melt in their mouths -eh?
