picture have to do with a craft sale?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Any idiot with a computer, internet access, a colour printer and access
to someone who can either frame the picture or can buy frames can do this can’t
they?... In short, yes any idiot can, and this idiot (not me) does, and then
goes to craft sales attempting to lure people into buying their ‘crest’ from
him, with a little piece of blurb on their surname.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

people go to this stall, look through the books, speak to the weasel, let him
shpeel on about their name and its heritage, I even saw several people
contradict what he was saying about their names, thus proving he really didn’t
have a clue about what he portrayed as his speciality!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean, if you are going to try to fraudulently
sell something as your original work, and that you have done the research into
each name and therefore your work can not be contradicted what so ever as you
are the man in the know, you want to do it to the letter don’t you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This man it turns out – never sold a thing,
not a jot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">However, this
weekend, his not selling anything wasn’t put down to his poor work, his crumbling
awful product, or indeed his god awful personality… it was my children.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">Yes, my three children who were present, and
were not actually making any noise, they did run about the table once or twice,
but not that much, and indeed they didn’t run around the market hall, unlike
other craft seller’s children.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">So my
three children must have been so incredibly noisy that they prevented anyone
from hearing his bull… erm</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">I mean well
informed information about their surnames.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">Well, actually, if that were the case, then I wouldn't have sold squat
would I?</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">Indeed I sold more things than
I’d ever done this weekend. My left hand neighbours, who were closer than the Muppet
selling some googled copy and paste work… sold many an item also. The gentleman
opposite me also sold many an item, so whom didn’t sell?</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">The only one who didn’t actually do any craft
work, the man who didn’t put his hand to anything other than click, click,
click, click, not knitting either… then pressing print.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">I am aware that
discriminatory law’s have been broken.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">However, do I justify the pain of going through all that, just so that I
can have a table back somewhere I'm not wanted by all.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">Actually, that last statement isn't true.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">There were several crafter's who
were incredibly incensed by what had occurred, notwithstanding the outrageous
attack on my family, but the reason that the complainant was a fraudster whom
had little in the way of personable skills and not one of the other crafter's
had a nice word to say about him.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">Even
the café owner was upset, yes I bought cakes and coffee, but I actually got on
with her and generally had a good natter too….</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;">
</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">I am not the only parent there, there are other mother’s like me who are
making and selling in order to keep the house above water and the wolves from
the doors.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">If I didn't do it, my
children wouldn't have the lovely presents they get, their clothes would be a
darned sight less than they are at present. So Mr Heritage, if you want war…
then I might just come to your baying.</span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: 'ParkAvenue BT'; font-size: 18pt;"> </span><span style="color: #77933c; font-family: ParkAvenue BT; font-size: large;">I
(if not as a seller) might well be at the March sale, stood by his stall with a
banner letting all know just how awful he is, and just what he did to my family
and my confidence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

honesty, I thought the crafting world a pleasant place where all were
friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So to find a wasp amongst us
bee’s, it has really shock me to the core.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Please let me know if you have had a similar experience, or if you’ve
had a fellow crafter of your discipline complain about you for no other reason
than you’ve sold an item that matches theirs… (which might have been the other
thing – another sewist, had the same fabric as me as a cushion, as did I.. but
I’d embroidered mine, and I sold it lol oops)… again, wasps… buzzzzzzzz<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will perform correctly from day one, and not one whose bobbin case periodically
jumps out of sync, thus causing great pain and tear’s through items being
finished off in time for a craft sale in the next few days, nor one that
doesn’t have half the stitches sold as having.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Or this machine will have a total overhaul, will be taken apart from the
ground up and given a full bill of health, and tested to the point that all
fonts are sewing as they should appear, the corners of a quilt can be sewn
properly without the machine doing a type of waggle dance and jittering up and
around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One that doesn’t chew up fabrics
as you’re starting out on your item, or one that half way through an item suddenly
decides that it won’t zig zag stitch as it should, and misses several
stitches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I anticipate that the new/er
machine will be able to go through a line of stitches and won’t have pulled
through a large degree of thread to the underside at the beginning of the row
being sewn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

amazes me is that many people are unwilling to pay the hand crafted price for
items. A lady picked up the larger of
the two cushion’s, which is 15” square, and asked how much. I said £10, which
is a reasonable price, she put it down!!! Not a word said!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that an afternoon working on fabric that is at the top end of the price
spectrum deserves a price befitting it’s history. That price is cheap compared to some of the
cushion’s you can buy in shops, that can be upward of £20!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

item was sold, not a one, and to be honest, after paying £30 for the privilege of

another bought of fatigue, this time it lead the path of lethargy that
prevented my breathing being able to satisfy my need in some strange way. I
found myself pulling in deeper and deeper breaths and still needing to try for
a deeper breath!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

slept for 48 hours solid. There was the odd hour or two where I was able to
remain conscious and lucid. However, these were not abundant. At one point I
was sat on the sofa finishing off a Tilda Cushion, <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Next thing I am aware of, is
Simon (my loving and patient partner), holding my head up and speaking softly
to me. I had fallen asleep sat bold upright on the sofa whilst my two little
ones were fizzing about my person and the lounge – turning it upside down and
throwing cushion’s across the floor to create the thickest and bumpiest carpet
ever!<o:p></o:p><br />

of the fatigue?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">No it wasn’t,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

on off and on for the week, I use the 48 hours as that was pretty much the
worst part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

napped the day away, following painting the kids play shed a lovely Pale Jade
colour – its an off white in reality, but looks stunning now – finishing touch
will be the flower’s that I’ll be hand painting onto the door and side… maybe
the front where planters are too…. Anyway I digress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

evening I asked my eldest daughter who had finally got it into her head that in
order to create order in her room from the destruction and devestation that was
abundant prior to this ‘fight’, she needed to down size her belongings by a
good two thirds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">The battle raged
for a week or so, and finally it was mostly done, all that was left was the hovering
and the dusting. So she was allowed a slight reprieve in her grounding to have
my close friends daughter over to sleep and then we all go to the boot sale on
the Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">From 2100 to 2200
she tried to reach Nat’s but failed by phone, so I attempted to leave a message
on Jan’s Facebook Profile… Hey presto..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">2200 Nat’s was
due to turn up, I had already slooped off to bed, but thought, that a shower
might just do the trick to lift me up a little bit. It worked, and then whilst I
was drying myself post shower I realised that I had not had my Morphine patches
on for a good portion on the week. The one’s that I had taken off, had been on
there for too long too!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

the fatigue it would appear was indeed the <u>lack</u> of morphine in my
system! I know it sounds totally backward to the effect of morphine, however,
when you consider that I was coming off a drug… then it open’s up the mind set
for several other area’s that I could have gone down the road of. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><br /></span></div>

a seizure as my Epilepsy control was being threatened yet again, I did have the
shakes, but that I’d attributed to not eating properly. Lack of appetite,
again, that isn’t something new, but I had eaten fairly little. (apart from the
day’s that I had a full Cooked Breakfast – with fried bread… yuummmm)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><br /></span></div>

learn from this encounter or rather not encounter with morphine and it’s
disappearance from my system for a few days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;">It is apparent that
my body despite taking opiates and other mind altering drugs, has now become so
accustomed to the drugs that the effects are reversed. Interesting concept
really, which would then indicate that when I am not full of the drugs, I am in
a mind altered state would it not?... My head’s frazzled just thinking about
it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

that have to do with Patchwork, Quilting and anything sewable?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

not a great deal. Notwithstanding the
mind altered state, the items that can come out of or from this head and either
onto paper for creating at a later date, or indeed do come into being on that
date are not necessarily ones that would
have potentially popped out of my most conservative head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background: #F2F2F2; color: #7030a0; font-family: "Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo"; font-size: 20.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma;"><br /></span></div>

describe myself as an arty type. I didn’t excel at art, indeed what ever I did
turned into a total mess up, so I took different options whilst at school and
left the Art to the ones who could.
However, I always wanted to be arty, I love to watch the hands flowing
and the picture just appearing from the most basic of tool’s. A pencil and paper can create the most
delightful of scene’s or portraits. Not in my hand though. So maybe that is where my particular
patchworking and quilting style’s come into being. I’ve a passion for something
and a total lack of skill in that arena, so I vent it elsewhere. HERE to be
exact!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

note, I will be designing my own bag’s soon (all going well) and will need some
‘Guinea Pig’s to test the patterns and fabric’s for the bags. If you would like
to have a go at this pattern, please get in touch, leave your name, email

Etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

answer to that one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All I do know is,
one day I can be up and about from O’my goodness the sun’s not yet up, to, Oh
my goodness the Sun’s about to come up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And in the summer, that is a long time! Then the following day? It will
take me 12 hours sleep to feel alright to step out of bed and brush my teeth,
then sit back in bed to get the strength to go downstairs… and that would then
be me on the sofa, reaching for breath until a few hours later when I make my
way back to bed, to recover from sitting on the sofa yawning for an hour or
two.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

in some quarter’s that it is pure laziness that has me there, but I have always
been a hands on mother and have not shirked away from getting up close and
personal with mucky kid’s games, infact what human wouldn't want to become

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Piranesi It BT;"><span style="font-size: 22pt;">On Friday, myself
and my youngest two Gaia (3) and Devin (2), joined the school trip to Barry
Island. A seaside ‘resort’ fairly close to where we live. I hadn’t been there
before, so it was a total blind test for me, indeed, it was a total blind test
for both of the babies as they hadn’t ever seen ‘sand’, or indeed had seen the
sea side!</span></span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: 'Piranesi It BT'; font-size: 22pt;"> </span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Piranesi It BT;"><span style="font-size: 22pt;">When I realised that, it
dawned on me, that their elder brother and sister had both been so blessed with
a Mummy that was able to be about and up and down, and would run every day with
them, either in the pram both or just one of them.</span></span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: 'Piranesi It BT'; font-size: 22pt;"> </span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Piranesi It BT;"><span style="font-size: 22pt;">I </span><span style="font-size: 29px;">wouldn't</span><span style="font-size: 22pt;"> batter my eyelids at driving down
to Plymouth, Devon, to visit my family and take the youngsters (nephew too), to
the beach, get pasties, so on…. Then I became ill with my back, and my mental
state diminished to just responding to living.</span></span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: 'Piranesi It BT'; font-size: 22pt;">
</span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Piranesi It BT;"><span style="font-size: 22pt;">When I reached my lowest mental state, getting out of bed and getting
dressed was a chore. I did need carer’s to help me and the children when Simon
and I had a break, but times are better now. Simon is here, I am not at my
lowest and clearly not at my best. Life is a chore, it is difficult sometimes
to raise a smile, and when my back is very painful (today being a good example
of why I take painkillers), it is a chore to breath – physically through the
pain.</span></span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: 'Piranesi It BT'; font-size: 22pt;"> </span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: Piranesi It BT;"><span style="font-size: 22pt;">Now though, I can raise a smile,
and do tend to have more patience than once did.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

some dresses for the little one, some head bands for the little one and other
little ones… some Jelly Roll strip cuttings for our jelly roll quilt… well
actually its not a ‘Jelly Roll’ quilt as not one Moda fabric strip is within
the selection. The fabric’s I was looking for, needed to be within the dusky
colour range, pink, blue, lilac, silver </span><span style="font-size: 29px;">Etc.</span><span style="font-size: 22pt;"> </span></span><span style="color: #4f6228; font-family: 'Piranesi It BT'; font-size: 22pt;">

now up and running, in a new formatted outlook to the one I am used to, so a
bit of educating on my feet is being done to accustom myself to it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #d99694; font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #D99694; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent2; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">What about the

chronic back pain and hip agony have proved too much to handle without extra
medication. The Dr has up’d my dosage on
the Gabapentin by the same again as I was taking. The result?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #d99694; font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #D99694; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent2; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">Still in pain,
but I can sleep 20 hours out of 24!
Which is great if you are Ripvanwhinkle, but I’m not, I’m a mummy to two
active toddlers’s and can’t be spending my time in my bed. The quilts don’t get made whilst I am asleep,
nor to the clothes for the little ones either!
The dress I want to make for my birthday dinner isn’t underway either! Hrumphj!
<o:p></o:p></span></div>

running about until gone 2100 and a back that screams blue murder at the mere
thought of doing some house work, it is nigh on impossible to get anything done
to a standard that I find acceptable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #d99694; font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #D99694; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent2; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">Well as it
stands, I have two new born. Neo-natal quilts done and ready to add to the pile
I’ve accumulated here. I do also have some
lovely table cloths that are ripe for the cutting table and set to be
reassembled into another neo-natal quilt.
The photographs will be added at the end of this entry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fairness, I have done some things, the kitchen floor is gleaming and the house
smell’s of bleach (a lovely clean aroma that allows me to believe the house to
be a clean one!). Both babies are in
bed, and the youngest is now not climbing out and running riot about the house. It takes time and a voice that can command an
army, but we get there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

failing one? Maybe in some respects, but
in the reality of the situation? No, it is a functional home that has laughter
and tantrum’s as much as any other. Oh,
and a month of birthdays!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

expensive time in our family, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t’ enjoy
it. I am 40 as is my twin, Mother is 70,
Sian is 13, Devin is 2 and my Nephew Harry is £15. All needing presents that mean something to
them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

little money and a home filled with fabric buy?
Well clearly nothing! It’s all
home made and from the heart!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Well, I wouldn't be accessing friends blogs across the globe that's for starters. Indeed we wouldn't be friends at all! Strange to think that this world has become so incredibly small. With the advent of fast air travel, the size had decreased, but not incredibly. Now I can chat live time, to friends in New Zealand - quite literally the opposite side of the globe from me.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>We have now got the opportunity to learn about other cultures in our own homes. The knowledge at our finger tips is phenomenal. Ignorance is no excuse anymore. When I begin my degree, I won't have to spend hours in the library researching, I can turn on the PC, and log onto what ever provider I chose, and read. </i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Right now, with a new pc, I can not get access to my emails from two accounts. I've got emails there that I need access to. The frustrating part for me? My partner is an IT engineer and can sort it out with a flick of the mouse. Why hasn't he done this? He will say he was looking after the kids... whilst sat on his laptop watching You Tube? LOL</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>So the reality is, I rely upon the internet animal 100% of the time. Right now it's 2300 and any normal person would be in bed, chilling out, trying to calm down from a busy day and getting refreshed for another. Now I have this animal that will work with me 24/7, I expect myself to be able to do so. I can't, something has to give - and with me it's my body that's telling a tale.</i></span></div>
