Hello

My name is Lottie - but you already have one registered so I am lottie23 on here.

I found you via a recipe for tuna steaks that Dave created - it was 4th on the list when I googled - Famous huh Dave - and that supermarket you visit after 6pm!

It's great to see such a varied selection of topics - close to my heart/lifestyle, and I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Right - I'd best get cracking - I've fed the chooks, let them out, changed their feathery water tsk and just off to marinade the tuna - then I have some craftwork to finish off for a swap I am in.

I dearly want to clean out the 'lean-to/come greenhouse' and turn it back into it's winter mode of stacked shelves full of pumpkins - but that will just  have to wait for another day - I always have so much I want to do - but have to prioritise at times.

Any beadmakers reading this?   I've just signed up for a one to one lesson - a new little business has opened in a lock up a few miles outside out village  - brilliant - as we are miles from any arty crafty places.   And I've also put my name down for a one to one lesson on making hand lotions and hand washes - all organic, no additives - and one that caught my eye  used goats milk - will keep you posted on that.

I also enjoy paper crafts - not origami - I leave that to my Japanese daughter in law.  Mixed media etc.  I used to make soaps and face and body creams from beeswax, oils, etc - but there's only so much a gal can use or give away isn't there!

I have a couple of blogs - not been doing any art lately, too busy with the allotment and garden etc but I am soon going to remedy that.

Nice to 'meet' you - I have had a browse - and now I really really must get down to some work
