My little haven and updates!




This is my little craft haven away from the world. There is also a large walk in wardrobe, just out of shot, that holds all my sewing stash.

Wasn't planning on coming back on today as Fridays are always a bit busy in our house...but several things have happened so thought I'd share them...if anyone is interested...if not then log off now!!
SSAFA have been in touch and they are going to give us some extra support whilst hubby goes away. Can't tell you how relieved I am as I was really worried about Belle.
Thanks to everyone for your e-mails about Jake. His collar bone isn't giving him to many problems and he is back with the fracture clinic next week. He has not moaned once about the pain and I am so proud of him.
FINALLY had a letter from the solicitor's today. If anyone had told me that getting remarried (3 years ago!!) was going to cause so many problems with surname changes I wouldn't have bothered! Only kidding...love him to bits!
And the best bit of news I can share...whilst I was in the shower Belle came in and said she had used the toilet. Her nappy was off so I went to investigate...dreading what I was going to find...and she had used the potty!!!! So happy as she had shown no interest so thrilled that she is finally coming round to the idea.
I'd also like to say thanks to everyone for all the visitors I have had lately and all the lovely comments. It really has meant a lot especially when I know that so many of you are not having a particularly good time at the moment.Crafty peeps really are a nice bunch!!
Take care,

Woweee Emma you must be so happy with it all. Love your craft haven. I'm coming over to have a play LOL

Great news that SSFA are going to help you :D Didn't know about Jake's collar bone, so gentle (((HUGS))) for him from me. Wow and (((HUGS))) to Belle for using her potty. What a great achievement and milestone.

We may be crafty, but I agree that we're also a really nice bunch of people. I've never known such support, laughter and love from so many people. If any of my craft friends are reading this and that includes you Emma, love you all to pieces (((HUGS))) xxxx

Oh Emma, I'm so jealous! I long to have a whole room for my crafting! How long is your DH going away for? Typical isn't it, mine's just got back and yours has to go. Sorry about Jake's collar bone but high five to big girl Belle for using her potty!!

HI Emma, just to say thanks for the comment on my card and great to see your craft room! I have recently taken over the spare room and it's sooo much better having a room just for all your stuff! x
