Hello you beautiful souls πŸ’ž it's been awhile! I've been super busy and not crocheting...We moved house and now I'm running my own pub πŸ»πŸŽ‰ This year took a slight turn for the better πŸ˜„

Anyhow I will still be crocheting and taking orders just drop me a message πŸ₯° I will however be slightly slow at posting as my main job does take a lot of time and this for me is just a small hobby πŸ₯°

I hope you are all well πŸ’–

It's a gift for the boy πŸ’•

Meanwhile...I have a bigger craft room....Still struggling to make things look good 🀣

Send help πŸ₯΄

For those with craft rooms or craft corners please send me some inspo 🀣 This is going to be the corner that is mostly used due to the room having 3 door holes, one wall I can't use due to a radiator and 1 wall with a breast and one wall my kallax unit is there and I wanna use that side for photos 😎

I was thinking another desk...but do I really wanna πŸ€ͺ

To say I'm jealous of a 12 year old is an understatement 🀣

I'm excited for all her stories, and see all of her pictures and videos πŸ“Ή 😍 πŸ’—

This is her little snap shot of the castle 😍

Me and Mr Shrew are finding it hard to get the house sorted I feel like we've both lost some motivation. However, we are getting their slowly 🐌 😌

Anyhow, we moved house πŸ₯° Loving it so far, still settling in. So far so good πŸ‘ Life is still a train wreck πŸš† Still hanging on to the tiny little piece of thread I have left.

Anyway...Excited because I get a new craft room and not just a tiny little room where I can't even move πŸ™ƒ

Crafty shrew is still standing 🀩

Just also a super big thank you for those of you who have supported and helped us over the last few weeks. Stress has been on another level. I love my little village ❀️ You all know who you are, family, friends, work friends , online friends ❀️

Just a little updateπŸ₯°

I am still here, and I am still taking orders.

This is not a woe is me post. I just feel you need a small update from me so I can try and continue this little journey of mine.

Things lately have become some what difficult for me and this family of mine. It seems to be never ending bad luck from January 8th this year...I broke my wrist causing me not to be able to do my day job for a while, or craft...The wrist is still somewhat sore more when the weather is cold but it's getting there.

I am back in work doing my day job blessed with a few more hours πŸ™ I thought my luck was changing, but now we have been hit with having to move house 🏠 We were semi aware of this back in March but the time frame given has changed, and it has come alot quicker than anticipated. We did start looking and making enquires on 1 or 2 houses we liked but were fobbed off from them and told we were good for a few months before we started looking which has made me really angry as we could have already moved by now and be settled again. Just alot of unnecessary stress and upset now for no reason. Plus my daughter goes on a trip to Disney Land Paris next month so currently making sure she is going to have the best time ever!

Anyhow, it's going to be a little quieter over here. My mood is changing daily...I'm angry, I'm frustrated and really hurt for the way we have been treated over the last few weeks. Me and my partner both work hard for what we have and will continue to do so.

I'm not going to disclose full details but I'm trying to remain positive and hopefully over the next couple of weeks our luck will change πŸ™

(disclaimer - we do not owe rent never missed a payment, all bills are up to date and the house is not trashed, just simply the owners want to move back into the property which is understandable...Just houses for us are not lucky πŸ₯΄ our previous one the landlady lost her husband and we sadly lost her a while after and her family wanted to sell the house on)

So yeah...Happy Saturday...If you made it this far and didn't get bored I will be hosting a raffle in the next few days as I need to shift some stock and collect some pennies to help towards, a house and my daughters trip to Paris

(It is paid for but I'd love her to go and spend some pennies and treat her self. She's worked super hard over the last few years and deserves to go and spoil her self massively!πŸ₯° Obviously little man will also get to have some treats to!)

Thank you for reading my mega long boring post and thank you to all of those thay have supported me over the past year. Love you all Crafty Shrew πŸ₯°

Anyhow, this is reason 99 why the washing takes 7+ business days to put away....She just loves fresh out the dryer towels and anything else she can lay her furry butt on πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄
Hope you all have a great day πŸ₯°

It's Friday πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ Which means now for me the weekend begins! πŸ€—

Working on something for me. I've done a few cross stitches over the years and I have a winnie the pooh one I've been picking up on and off over the years and it's still sat half finished....I'll get to it when I'm feeling it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
(been working on it since I was about 13/14...yes I know I'm terrible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚)

Anyhow...I'm currently working on another cross stitch...But low and behold I've already made a c**k up πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ woo πŸ₯³πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Hope you've all had a great week and have a fun weekend lined up πŸ₯°
