My Mind is an Open Book....

My life is no more interesting that anyones else's, except that I have Hyper Mobility Syndrome which means I have to lead my life in a rather odd way and I'm prone to some rather ridiculous and amusing injuries and I've decided to write some of the funnier (or stranger) things down. After having started off publishing the occasional article, I started keeping a diary in 2012, which proved to be a success on more levels than I ever imagined.

So here you will find my diaries, my stories, lessons learnt, lessons not learnt, hints picked up through years of hard graft in odd places, recipes, book and music reviews, Chew Valley based Ramblings and HMS fueled adventures - basically the contents of my mind written down with pictures added.

Customers Are Psychic

In my garage, I have a stack of good old Ikea little wooden drawer box things, each drawer containing various different bits of ready made stock left over from when I was doing Craft Fairs with Pretty Things. Only the basic items – hair slides, some necklaces, fairies. Just the things I can always be sure of selling.

Of the millions and millions of beads I keep
 in stock, I never have the ones I need
In my work room I have various different storage systems, all over flowing with every kind of glass and resin bead you could possibly imagine, as well as endless findings and other necessary bits and bobs in my magic cupboard of many things.

Yet somehow, despite all of these things, whenever I get an order for a Pretty Things item, it is absolutely always, without fail, for something that I not only do not happen have already made, I also do not have the bits to make it.
