Summer What summer?!?
Okay so here in the UK we seem to have skipped a whole season!
We had autumn, winter and spring, one week of hot sun shine and now just rain, rain and more rain.
If your planning on going to the Olympics remember to take a brolly, a coat and a book to keep your self amused to due events being rained off.

It's Raining, It's pouring....
Oh today is a grey grey day, it's raining.
But I feel better, for the last few days I have felt that my brain was full of stuffing, I felt clogged, irritable and snappy.
I have a few copping mechanisms for when depression hits but even those were struggling.
I did have a revelation... I am allowed to relax and take a day for me. For me this was big as I do find it hard to relax, I work for myself and feel I should always be doing something. I mostly work the hardest at weekends when I take my creations out to the general public.
One of the reasons for me feeling better is I think the weather broke. I believe the pressure systems have an effect on my brain. Today it feels like the stuffing has been removed and I can go ahhhhhhhh.
Today I am feeling chilled and my fussy cat has deemed my lap worth and his.
So does anyone else find weather pressure systems affect their mood?
Raindrops by me.

Wow how time fly's....
Today I feel old. My oldest has turned 13, he is now a teenager!!!
It only feels like yesterday that I was holding him in my arms and now he would squish me.
So today is full of birthday wishes and excited children and special treats.
I hope you all have a special day too.

Today was a good day.
Today was a good day.
The sun has finally showed up and it makes all the difference seeing such bright light enhancing all the colours of nature.
I also picked up a new to me printer for only £16.01 and it came with two new toners!!! Its brilliant as our old one was struggling.
This also means I can get creative and print some bits and pieces.
I also did the shopping on our budget and had change left over, lastly I have baked banana cupcakes for lunch boxes for the children. Strange thing is the child who will eat anything didn't like them but the fussy one did... you can't win.
So it may have been mundane every day stuff, but the sun shined on me.

Right I find it hard to share so I am going to kind of write this to myself.
I have depression.
Some days are better than others, some days are very dark blue nearly black.
One of the ways I have recently used to help me cope is to surround my self with positive messages.
I have one near where I sit and work, I have a little book of positivity in the loo. As all Mum's know sometime the loo is the only time to your self!
The messages help. Today the one by my seat is "My home is a peaceful haven."
I want this to be true for my home and at times more often than not it is.
One of my favourite things is this:
Water is strong and flexible, it can level mountains and caress a flower. Such strength, Such care.
I try to be like water.

Love this;
Small but perfectly formed abstract stained glass panel incorporating pieces of sea glass (broken bottle glass tumbled in the sea and collected by me from local beaches) into a leaded panel with vibrant green, blue and purple streaky glass. Inspired by the rock pools on the Devon coast. This is a traditional leaded stained glass panel and looks fabulous with the light shining through it and the contrast between the matt, frosted sea glass and the smooth transparent stained glass.
Made using traditional leading techniques. Includes hanging chain
11.5 (4.5 inch) x 13 (5 quarter inch)

Lorraine Dowdle #CRAFTfest Stall
Here is Lorraine's stall, she is one very talanted lady making lampworked jewellery.
In her own words "Hand creating glass beads, and incorporating these original works of art into a wearable creation is exhilarating!"
I love the colour of her pieces.
This is one I really like,
"My latest offering in My Lamp work collection are these 8 gorgeous beads I made one at a time over the flame and annealed overnight in my Kiln.
I used Silver enriched Glass which reacts beautifully in the flame giving clear and gorgeous jewel like tones throughout the glass. I also melted beautiful handmade murrini glass form Lori Peterson and Kim Milan into one of my beads.
I called this beautiful creation Dulc'e
and incorporated the beads of which the feature bead measures (2.1cm x 1.4cm thick) with my absolute love for wire and created a piece that that looks breathtaking.
The bracelet has been accented with large Swarovski crystals in dark amethyst adding to the Jewel tone this bracelet exudes." Lorraine Dowdle.
