The first is that I've made progress on my Secret Santa. The first part of my gift is reasonably straight forward and is now completed. The second part will take me into a more unknown territory of crafting but I've been out today and bought the supplies I'm going to need and I always love a good crafting challenge. Obviously I can't show you a photo of what I've done so far in case my Secret Santa recipient should see this, so the only way I can illustrate this "happy" is like this...
My second "happy" was spending time with friends on Wednesday. I'm finding that I'm struggling so much with my health lately that I spend a lot of time on my own at home. This month Craft Club, which runs fortnightly, fell on the same day as Fibro Group, which runs monthly. I rather stupidly decided I could manage to attend both. Fibro Group was fine, I really enjoyed it and went home determined to have a proper rest for a few hours before heading out again for Craft Club. Unfortunately, relaxing is something I'm not very good at, no matter how tired I am! We'd decided to only spend an hour at Craft Club which I also really enjoyed, despite feeling pretty rough by the end and feeling even worse for the rest of the night I did make progress on my current crafting project thanks to some assistance from my friend Clare from "Summerhouse by the Sea", I think I'd have really struggled with what I was doing without an extra pair of hands!
My third "happy" was the relief of remembering I had a spare bear stashed away that was just perfect as a gift for a friend's daughter's birthday present. Hard to believe that "E" is now 16!!! Where does the time go? E is often one of the first people to like teddy photos I post on Facebook so I'd asked my friend what colours her daughter liked. I was a little worried about being able to complete a bear in time until I remembered my spare bear, named Pixie Belle. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the party as I wasn't well again, so Pixie Belle is still here for the moment waiting for a meet up with my friend, hopefully one day this week. I shall have to try and make a couple more spare bears at some point.
Pixie Belle is a little larger than my regular bears - she's around 4 inches tall. I had to make her bigger to fit the hat I bought at a Hugglets bear fair a few years ago. I added the charm to the end of the hat as I think reaching 16 is special and worth remembering. I was told that E's favourite colour is purple, so E and Pixie look like they're meant for each other! :)
Wishing you all a very happy week.
Lovely Happies, and glad I could be of assistance.
