I'm a very creative person but it can't be organised something comes in my head and have to do it .Been known to get up in the middle of the night to check things and I won't settle till I get the project done ! 

Sewing . once I have made the body of my monkey is ready for sewing can't wait to finish ! The eyes take some tiny stitching to sew on and the mouth is something you have to concentrate on .But as the day goes on never seems time to finish so I'm in bed late night sewing to get the job done because that's what I do . If you have been reading my blogs  (history of sockmonkeys) I wanted to make an original Rockford sock monkey so sent off for the socks and happy to say turned out great ! Very please

Rockford original sock monkey

I look after my grandson Joe and when he's here he gets most of my time . He also arrives early in the morning and he's choo choo mad ! Straight to the train box when he comes in then the track has to be set up . Loves my monkeys wants them all .Sometimes get a min when he's having a nap , He dose have a routine but then other things need to get done (house work) I only have him a couple of days odd Saturday's but love being a granny but nothing gets done so really need to get organised 😍 

My grandson Joe little star ⭐️


I must admit social Media takes up far to much time when I should be getting organised with the sewing . but you need to get your stuff seen if your selling . Can be difficult as now Facebook want you to pay to promote . I must admit I don't post as much as I should ,do have some lovely fans who always like and comment and buy but I'm not getting the same response . I have two other pages  my jas crafty moments dedicated to anything crafty or DIY that includes anything I do .find lots of videos to put on here I'm not sure if it helps any one but I hope it dose . Also sell Avon to support my income so also have a page for this to, you can find these top right my places . Avon dose keep me very busy as I have an online store. Most of my customers are local but Avon can send you off the Beaton track time consuming . Also post on Instagram ,Twitter, Pinterest ,LinkedIn I think my favourite at moment is instragram love putting pictures on .  Have to mention the live on Facebook looks interesting must get chance to look at that to promote my business seen some great ones love new things. Need think up new ideas for giveaway on my Avon page on a Friday ? Oh yes and make more monkeys must get organised you see what it's like .

Hello Well I had a walk the other day ! I am only a small distance away from where I lived as a girl and my hubby lived just in the next street when we was courting but that’s another story. I had to go to the post office with a parcel bit of a walk not sure they like their jobs as they never look happy, I always thought you greeted customers with a smile well that’s how it was when I worked in a shop but that’s another story. Walking back my leg was aching but had to go to doctors not for my leg they said that it could be osteoporosis just gave me pain killers to go with the high blood presser not good but that’s another story. I decided to walk by where I lived as a girl I remember playing handstands on the wall the houses where quite new when we moved in, my friend Jackie broke her collar bone doing a handstand but that’s another story. No 18 remember it well had my own bedroom lucky me ! Loved art and painted a mural on the wall it was a girls face with crazy hair it’s stil...

We went to Tenerife for a 9 day holiday.  I am not good on flying get travel sick but I was fine.Then on the Monday I got a tummy bug so went off my food a bit still didn’t feel right on the Thursday when we was coming home.  I took some dolls with me took some fantastic pictures beautiful place. So you can see why I’m glad it wasnt my case. But no body wants to lose a case!  But the funny thing is The flight seemed long and the plain was packed, only one other guy got on the coach to the airport and mick noticed his case was very much like his. We was very releaved to touch down at Manchester.  This is where it went strange there was a very long que at passport control and took forever we had rushed to get there quick. They now have them silly machines to read your passport and they wasn’t working very well so took longer.  Then we went straight to pick the cases up! Where wa...
