just chatting

Hi everyone - just sitting here having a cup of tea, relaxing between the monthly lunch that I attend (which always falls on this Thursday) & going to the Mold February meeting this evening.

Yesterday afternoon I popped along to Hobbycraft to pick up some ribbon, the oasis for the flowers & I was also hoping that in amongst their cake making supplies they sold the little jars of edible glue.  I nearly missed them - but yes they did have it.

Once again - which is beginning to worry me - I didn't appear to take my brain with me - as when I found the ribbon I wanted & asked the lady where I got it cut she said she would do it for me.  I then proceeded to tell her how much I required from each of the rolls.  One was about.5" wide & the other was baby ribbon (you know that really narrow ribbon).  When I got home I found I had given her the info the wrong way round - so now I have  loads of the .5" one but not enough of the baby one.  So another visit needed in the next couple of days to get some more.  What am I going to do with myself?

Right my cup of tea will be getting cold - so I will stop now.  If I have time tonight after the meeting I will put somephotos up - otherwise it will be tomorrow.

'Bye for now.

Thank you ladies for sending them in - certainly very different styles today. So! - Last post? Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
