Happy New Year Everyone

Just realised i haven't blogged for very long time but then last year was very busy period for me. I had changed jobs, became Auntie and lost three stone amongst other things as well.

I'm looking forward to this year for start we have the Olympics to look forward too and Queens Diamond Jubilee plus extra bank holidays. I have set myself few New Years Resolutions the first one loose another stone and keep the weight off (she says eating last bit of xmas pudding!!) go running never done this before but think i can do this now i have lost some weight. I do have one other resolution as well but will let you know if that comes true when it happens.

Happy New Year everyone lets hope its good one!!!

Bead Fair - Nantwich Cheshire Part 2

The Bead Fair in Nantwich on Sunday was grate fun although standing in rain to get in wasn't much fun but on plus side wasn't waiting too long. The fair this year had got even bigger with upstairs as well this year i found this out when queueing to get in the lady behind was telling her friend so that was nice surprise. i got lots of fab beads and didn't have to spend silly amount of money. when i go to these events it suddenly dawns on me how many other people like bead as i do and how popular jewellery making has become every year.

I'm off to The Big Bead show in Telford next month (although don't need any beads now lol) still wont stop me spending. I have been waiting for over seven years now to be able to attend this event this is the first year they have arranged event up north, i really hope it will be good day. Is anyone else going?

Bead Fair - Nantwich Cheshire

I'm off to Bead Fair this morning that is held in Nantwich at Civic Hall if anyone is local to this area and loves beads well worth nosy. Although there is £1 entry like most places these days. Right i need to get ready will add photo later of my goodies.

Holiday in Edinburgh

For Easter this year i decided to go on holiday with my mum to Edinburgh. I have been to Edinburgh once before when i was at Uni and ever since then have wanted to return. It's also where my jewellery fetish first started and of course there where couple of bead shops i wanted to visit.

The first bead shop i went to was The Bead Bead Shop: http://www.thelittlebeadshop.co.uk/ I have wanted to visit this shop for very long unfortunately i didn't have enough time to go on course that they do there but never the less i got to buy beads. There is also just down the road on the left a fantastic little Chocolate shop/ cafe i had the most amazing cup of hot chocolate perfect as the weather was bitterly cold that day. i also bought some chocolate to take home with me http://www.the-chocolate-tree.co.uk/cafe/ you won't be disappointed if you go here although its bit far from main shops we went by car and took the Sat nav there is parking on side of the road.

The other bead shop which is must is http://www.beadshopscotland.co.uk/ rather big shop with plenty of choice and space to walk around they also have courses but unfortunately none where running the week i was visiting still gives me excuse to go back. parking is little tricky around there it's more residential. again not in centre of Edinburgh we went by car and Sat Nav.

I would say if your bead mad like me this is must if your visiting Edinburgh but you might want to work out where you are in relevant to where these places are as there could be some walking needed or go by car if you have one allot easier.

My Funny Cat - Iko

When i was out shopping the other day i used box to carry the shopping into the house. After i had finished putting all the shopping away i left the box on top of the work top ready to put in the bin outside, i then went to do something else and when going back into the kitchen my cat Iko was sitting inside the box looking very happy. she made me laugh i spend so much money on toys and cat baskets for her and likes the box more. I have added picture for you all to see:
