Hello, it's summer!

Hello and I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I know I am after having attended my mothers wedding. After 20 odd years she and my stepped finally tied the knot and their wedding was great. Of course, it was also really nice to see the jewellery I'd made worn to such a special occasion.
Summer is great but also very slow for me as trying to work and entertain 3 children who have varying interests can be a challenge to say the least, but this gorgeous weather is certainly great for going out and living on the coast means there is always something to inspire me. My notebook is full of ideas just waiting for me to bring them to life. For now though, reality and the children beckon so until next time, and I hope you all have a fabulous summer,
Yvonne Jones.

Hello again! At last!

Hello everyone!
So sorry for the long absence.Had my operation but then had complications after being discharged when one of the 3 wounds got infected. Been a very long and tedious process regarding recovery and still got 2 or 3 weeks until I reach the 6 week post op stage.
Right now I have joined the loom band craze. I am addicted to making loom band bracelets and have started using charms on them as well which is great although I have yet to put pictures onto my computer I have put some on my Facebook page if you want to pop over and have a look.
My creating time has been really limited thanks to being unable to bend and get my supplies from where they are kept. I am still having to rely on my oldest child to help me reach my supplies which is rather awkward. I know he doesn't mind but when a 31 year old has to rely on the help of an 8 year old it's clearly not a great situation. Still, at least I can do some creating when he's able to help me reach my items.
As you can imagine, I don't really have much to show on here yet but hopefully I will be back to proper creating withing the next week or so and sorry again for the prolonged absence from here.
Until next time,
Yvonne Jones
