Just a quick update...

I will be back very soon with crafty goodness for you ... but so much has changed over the last week and my priority has had to be family and food!

So last night I learnt that not only my husband and father... but myself too... are all in the UK defined "vulnerable adults*"... and so we are to socially distance ourselves in our homes for 12 weeks... so I should have plenty of time to do and share new crafty stuff on here as time goes by... And sort out all my retired stuff too!!! But sadly no face to face classes... which I am so going to miss....

But this week is a time for focusing on what needs to be done in the short term in these unexpected circumstances... as I thought I would be able to bomb around shopping, cooking (and delivering) for 2 households for the next 12 weeks... as I honestly think I am perfectly OK! (my radiotherapy finishing 18 months ago now and no sign of the cancer since-yay!)

But suddenly the priorities were to sort out food etc for 2 households... and to set up online food shopping going forward... To get my son back from uni safely (and then to quarantine him for a while as the Covid19 cases are relatively high where he is!) And to have DH at home full time with space for both of us to work! We failed on that one big style today... you do have to laugh! As well as a list of about 20 other smaller things!

So please bear with me a few days as I catch up with myself... I am still making/photoing and writing up the Bench Fold Card tutorials - Series Two (Dressing Tables & Desks) as the priority - and then Series Three (Windows)... and I hope that these will be available from next week... But bear in mind they take about 3 days each to do!

I have also been asked to do some UK postal kits for others like me that are having to socially distance for this extended period of time - or for people that are self isolating and need some shorter term diversion... So I will be looking into that.... but ... in the meantime... do let me know if this would be of interest to you too...

Please stay safe... and may your "set of coronavirus hurdles" be low and over sooner rather than later... Together we will get through this the best we all can...

* means people at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 that Public Health England say must stay at home for 12 weeks. This in turn should help to alleviate the pressure on our NHS at this critical time... Which I am all for wholeheartedly...
