More Cameo brooch/pendants in different stages of progress, getting ready for the BIDM this weekend! Check out all of the talent that will be at the market on Saturday here, here, here and here.For more creative spaces, drop by Kootoyoo.
And finally, today, I got the best ever birthday present (it was my birthday on Tuesday). We got the news that the Man is now in remission! I actually feel physically lighter and have been alternating between laughing and crying with relief all day. The Man will still do another couple of cycles of chemo and a stem cell transplant to make sure the nasties don't come back, but it's looking like we have this thing beat!
Oh what wonderful news! Couldn't be happier for you. Hopefully see you Saturday :)
