Top Tip

This is a tip that I thought I'd share with you after hearing about the misadventure of my husband.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

If you are making coffee and have run out of sugar, do not...I repeat do not substitute jam making sugar. This product, although sweet, contains added pectin which makes a gooey swamp in the bottom of your cup.

The picture is for illustration only...the goo is not blue

A chink in the clouds, the promise of sunshine.

Tonight I'm dreaming about spending a whole wonderful day in the shed. This week has seen me shovelling all manner of superfluous items to the tip/charity shop/friends in an effort to make the small terraced house feel palacial. To my credit, it now echoes in the kitchen and the front room!

The estate agent paid us a visit and is due back on Tuesday to take the pics......if you fancy a lovely little house in the heart of sunny Coventry....

Back to tomorrow. I feel like a kid in a sweet shop, so many stones, so many ideas, what shall I do first? I have some delicious rose cut oro verde lemon quartz which are begging for setting. Tiny peridot cabochons or fab opals.
