A Golden Weekend!

Yes it's me again!

I'm sitting in a sunny room thinking about my subject matter for this week and noticing that I've missed a bit when cleaning the windows!! A small matter in such a fabulous weekend! 

Now anyone who knows me will testify to the fact that I'm about as unsporty as it gets - a sloth may well be more energetic, so I hadn't really imagined getting quite so into the Olympic Games as I have.  I love a bit of gymnastics and was looking forward to cheering on fellow Plymothians and South Westerners but I really thought that would be it.  Not so!! I have found myself screaming at the TV, willing the last drops of energy out of already super-human beings and generally thoroughly enjoying myself! Not a medal ceremony has gone by without the tissues at the ready! I do appreciate the irony of the fact that this new love of all things sporty has all taken place from my sofa, but it's a start, don't you think?  So proud of all of our athletes, regardless of where they've been placed, they are there by merit, which is more than I'll ever be!

I did have my own personal best on Saturday though.  It was a gold in the 8 and a half hour stand! My first artist's market and I forgot to take a chair. Doh!! 



I was pleased with my stand and met some lovely people and had quite a few sales so all was good, apart from my back at the end of the day!

I've also started working on another couple of collections this week.  Haven't got round to naming them yet so why not make a suggestion for the blue/green cuff?  The golden peachy cuff really has the relate to the phenomenal sporting achievements made this week I think so it will possibly be called Going For Gold, what do you all think?

I don't have a name yet - suggestions??
This is a pretty cuff with shades of turquoise and pale green, looks almost like water so why not have a go at naming this collection yourself?

So what do we think of this one - Going For Gold or Jessica or something else related to the Olympics?



That's it for this week folks - leave em a comment or email me your suggestions - who knows there may even be a little gift involved!!
