End of Year Giveaway

Random.org was consulted and duly reported back commenter number 6 as the winner of the £25 voucher which means Amy of AREJewellery will get £25 off her next order.

I’ve also donated £25 to Booktrust and hopefully I’ll be able to continue doing so throughout the year.

Busy Week

It has been a pretty busy week at Chez Still… Last weekend, hopped up on Diet Dr Pepper I made a major push towards getting my workroom sorted out, and its very nearly finished. The Monday was a Bank Holiday and also my 29th birthday so we spent most of the day with Jon’s folks and had a tasty lunch and all napped in the sunshine afterwards! Thursday was Jon’s 29th and so yesterday we provided tea, cake, but no death to the extended family. (We also gave the whole house a good clean – which included the opportunity for inhaling furniture polish)

But even better, Amelia has started to roll over. However, in a very quantum way we can’t (yet) observe it in progress, we’ve just answered the more miffed than usual cries and found her on her tummy in her cot. Last night when we were drying her off after her bath she was very nearly rolling over, so she had a better view of the bottles of Viakal and Flash that live (for now and not much longer) on a low shelf by the shower.

Also today Helen and I traipsed into London and Earl’s court to go to the International Jewellery London trade show. I returned with some fabulous beads, including matte crackle rock crystal, blue goldstone and Botswana agate. Helen got a 17″ graduated strand of Rubies for an amazing price, which I am currently knotting.
