Reading and Life Update July

So  readers, I am still in a reading funk.

I only managed to read One book in July and that was Big Stone Gap as my previous blog post.

Although this was a re read, I had forgotten quite abit of it.  I loved re-discovering the characters and the settings.  It is a lovely book and I can't wait to continue the rest of the Big Stone Gap series in the coming months.

My goal for August is to finish the other books I have been attempting  over the last couple of months.

I am probably three quarters through Clap when I Land by Elizabeth Acevedo, about half way through The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman and probably about 20% of Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Everisto.

My goal is to complete these three books in August

I want to start a fresh in September and be ready to read more books going into the Autumn season.
September is my birthday month and I see that as a new year for me, where I can re commit myself to reading abit more and reset my goals and aspirations for the coming year.

Work wise, I went back to work after a little period of furlough leave.  Getting back into some sort of normality in these crazy times.

I am doing more crafts and as you can see I have been posting some of my makes here on this blog.  I want to continue to do that and get more into a regular schedules of blog posts.

July has been a fairly quiet month.  My brother and sister in law came up in July once we were able to visit people which was so lovely as we haven't seen them since early March.  We also visited Mr A's Dad and partner as we were able to sit in the garden.  We are still yet to see Mr A's Mum, Step Dad and brother.  We also visited a couple of set of friends, all within recommended social distancing guidelines.  It's just so strange you can  not hug as you would normally do.

I am hoping that the summer continues to be nice and things will start to be a little easier for the whole world in terms of Covid although news reports does suggest parts of the world are seeing spikes in new cases and could be seen as going through a second wave.

Stay safe my friends and happy reading, crafting and life in general

Love Lesley xx

Quick Catch Up

 Hi All I've been absence from this blog for a while as unfortunately my beloved hubby has been diagnosed with cancer.  We have caught it early and the prognosis is very good and positive.  It has been a strange year all round and the last couple of months have been more stressful and worrying to say the least. Things are now on the up and thus I feel it is time I get back into updating this little blog of mine, and this little catch up is to say I am coming back.  I am planning more regular content, showcasing my crafty endeavours, what I'm reading and life in general I am also pondering a better and more productive blog schedule for 2021. Watch this space. With love and wishing you a good week Lesley xx

Sunday Crafting - Card #1 Jar of Flowers

Today's make is using the new Stampin Up Jar of Flowers stamp set with the 2020-2021 In Colours Designer Series Paper in  Misty Moonlight. I stamped the image in Misty Moonlight and  I coloured the flowers using some felt tip pens and I used an old Hobby craft butterfly punch and yellow gems from my stash. I am really pleased with this card as it has been a long time since I have made one.  The stamp set is so lovely and versatile and comes with a Jar punch (although I totally forgot to use it for this card). Wishing you a happy Sunday Love Lesley xx
