Yes, the quality of the produce was amazing (not meaning mine!) and I have made so many new friends through attending craft fairs, I am amazed at the amount of talent there is in this county!

I love your quilts especially the one with the applique birds and flowers. That glass fish stole my heart . . . it is amazing being able to see into the minds of so many creative artists. From an idea to a finished piece of work . . . there is so much of ones soul that goes into handcrafted items, every little detail a part of their imaginative minds. Thank you for sharing . . .

We know from our research into dyslexia (one of the grand-daughter has this) that it is no indication of IQ but there are many notables throughout history and the present day who are similarly affected.As with so many other "Afflictions" there are great benefits if correctly handled. Just, as I say, the will 'o the wisp nature of the ADHD can be a bit darned inconvenient at times!

I'm about to get going with another post in which I discuss it a little. The up side is that I can research a new thing to the "nth" degree, and enjoy lots of enthusiasms which introduce me to lots of lovely people and new interests. The downside is that I often feel I am on a merry-go-round, and the waning of an interest can fall at inconvenient times! My son suggests I have an adult form of ADHD, which he has been researching as our smallest grandson has been diagnosed with ADHD and it is suggested that is it familial; Kit has since been diagnosed and he suggested I show alarmingly similar traits! I tis a bit of a misnomer, as it isn't so much attention DEFICIT as HYPER - FOCUS, which, as I say, can be darned useful at times, but taken to excess can be quite limiting. It's good now that I can recognise it in myself, and I've stopped calling my self lazy and thick!

I'm not sure that's the best apparoach for a blogger but I go with it anyway :)Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917429720940688674.post-72808074663593937012014-11-30T14:50:24.953+00:002014-11-30T14:50:24.953+00:00Hi Sue, yes, and I find the longer you leave betwe...Hi Sue, yes, and I find the longer you leave between posts the harder it is to get back into gear.

No idea when there will be a post about textiles as I am "off the boil" where that is concerned at the moment - but I have no doubt it will be back on the agenda at some point!

I wasn't too disheartened at the fair, I made enough to make it worth my while, and as everyone had a slow day I certainly didn't feel personally downhearted. ANd I guess it means I still have stiff for the next one, which I think will be in Spring, at another village hall. Glad you've enjoyed the music - it's a big part of my life!
