As temperatures rise, keeping cool in the summer isn't easy, and neither is crafting, with fans blowing away all my precious crafty bits !

But there are still some new additions here never fear - a curry recipe we love that perhaps isn't ideal summer food but is absolutely yummy and to help shed a little weight, I've found a drink recipe that is easy and doesnt require many ingredients.

On the painting front, I recently discovered the wonderful art of Diamond Painting, which is like Paint by numbers but as you'll see uses tiny glittery tiles to make up a wonderful shimmery image.  The three examples I've added were beautifully created by my mother.

So keep cool and have a wonderful Summer.

Best wishes
