Stressful Day!

Hi :)

Well, the football was okay. Me and OH put a bet on both Milner and Carew scoring, so were even more pleased then everyone else when Carew did. Milner had a few chances, then was injured, played 5 minutes, and was subbed off. Then there was a free kick that I just know Milner would have scored...

Anyway, it was a good night. The atmosphere at the game was good, and its always nice to see football live, as lovely as HD TV is. The way back was less good, it was raining really hard, and the police closed far too many roads. We had to walk for ages, booked a taxi and then realized they had closed half of that road as well, so the taxi couldn't get to us. Eventually found a random taxi driving round but he was pushy and overcharged...still, we got home.

Today I'm feeling a bit sore and exhausted, but I've cheered myself up designing some notebooks with a Spring theme. I love daisies, so when I found some extra cute daisy themed accessories I knew I had to buy them, and I'm glad I did! I've made some very detailed ones, and some a bit plainer. They'll be listed later tonight! 

I'm also having a go at making my first bunting, and I've made a Union Jack flag I'm very proud of. And I've ordered some more supplies to keep me busy, they are coming tomorrow...OH is off for the weekend, leaving me and Puppy to house sit, and we'll need to keep busy!

Anyway, cookies are ready!

Etsy and Aston Villa!

Hi 

Well, I’ve been neglecting this blog for a while, due to my fibro. I had a bad weekend, spending most of it in bed with puppy keeping me company, and I’m still feeling very sensitive and in pain. I did sleep well for the first time in a long time last night though, so I’m feeling a little better!

Today, I’ve got some new supplies, and I’ve been working on new themes such as Britain and Sailors…I can’t wait to show off what I’ve made! I’m hoping to get them listed tonight. I had planned to do it today, but in an hour or so I’m rushing out to get a new craft desk, and after that, I’ve been treated to tickets to the Villa game.

I’m not a huge Villa fan, I’m an Arsenal girl at heart but I like Chelsea too, and OH loves United so I support them when they play to keep him happy. I like Milner, though, and I’ve got him in my fantasy football team, so I’ve got my fingers crossed he’ll score!

Villa is the Mexican’s favourite team, and as he goes home in a few months, we thought we should show him a Villa game at their home stadium. So I’m going with OH, Mexican, and another guy. Hopefully enough people to keep me warm, as it’s supposed to start raining at kick off, and not stop all night!

I’ve also got some interesting business propositions in the pipeline, and of course you guys will hear about them first! I can’t say too much yet, though.

And finally, Designs  By Elle now has an Etsy store. It’s not very stocked at the moment, but I’m working on it!

Have a good day,
