Happy National Limerick Day!

There was an old man called Dave

Who swam in the sea to bathe.

One day a big fish

Gave him a wish

Now a mermaid helps him to shave.

Crafty ways make limerick days.

Bean signed off...

I'm sorry for my failing blog,

I've stumbled in a wobbly fog.

My screw-fixed hip has let me down

So now I wear a grouchy frown.

My rock and roll is full of stress

While waiting for the NHS.

Please don't delete or drop me out,

Be back when I can twist and shout.

Crafty ways will not cause osteonecrosis!

As I was saying...

I can now reveal the end of my twisty tale...or could it be the beginning?

I have been looking for a new outlet for my crafty makes

so it was perfect timing when 'a little golden beach hut with a handmade heart'

(aka Margot) 

offered us the chance to be April's 'featured maker'.

The Margot Maids were ready...

along with their pals

and of course we are all very excited.

I shall be waving them off tomorrow and hoping they find new homes soon.

Crafty ways make new ventures.

PALs

A lovely new opportunity has just come my way

(will tell all soon)

so I have been talent spotting.

I needed a Playable, Affordable and Lovable PAL...

( handy acronym!)

The applicants were surprisingly similar in shape

Bert and Kevin

but quite different in nature.

Lady Velour

Catrina

Leonora

They all passed the paper-cut posing test

so it was hard to choose a winner
but there is a happy ending.

Kevin (Bacon) will reveal the twist in the tale soon.

Who would you choose?

Crafty ways make things good.

Rushing

I thought I had plenty of time to prepare for our first market of the year...

but...

those pesky deadlines have a creeping habit

so I have been rushing to make and gather some seasonal stock.

I don't like rushing...

it makes photos fuzzy!

Thanks for stopping and looking...

I will be stopping on Sunday.

Crafty days makes time fly.

It's getting bigger...

Once I believed that when love came to me

It would come with rockets, bells and poetry

But with me and you it just started quietly and grew

And believe it or not

Now there's something groovy and good 

about whatever we got

And it's getting bigger

Growing stronger, warm and wider

Getting bigger every day.

I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed

I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside

Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right

And it's not hard to see

That it isn't half of what it's going to turn out to be.

And I don't mind waiting...

cause no matter how long it takes

The two of us know

That it's getting bigger....

But sometimes I do wish you would hurry up.

Apologies to Mama Cass.

Ears a poem...

Just a little problem,

She made my ears too long.

Now I'm all embarrassed

And feel I don't belong.

Should I get them pinned down

Or tie a stylish knot?

Or hang out with my mates

And not give a jot?

Crafty ways can solve problems.
