I should have said Action Man,

Years ago i made my son Action Man clothes,

(He's 42 now)

I wanted to make my grandson some for Christmas, but couldn't find the pattern,

I asked my FB friends & Brenda Ratcliffe kindly sent me some patterns.

I know Kieran will be over the moon with them.

Thank you so much Brenda x

The day i won an Oscar.

In 2010 I organised a trip to Harrogate GNPE

for the craft group i attend

(Crafty Crafters)

I had decided to enter a card into the best card-maker competition,

When we arrived i put it in the box marked intermediate, some of my friends encouraged me to put it in the box marked advanced,

I'm so glad i did, i was thrilled to bits when they announced i had won.

I didn't think i had much chance.

The moral of this story is, never underestimate yourself, You could get a pleasant suprise.
