Well if the mirror didn't say otherwise I'd say that I'd somehow shed 25 years. My brain is firing off in all directions and I can't sit still. All this on 5 hours sleep a night. I'm amazed, nay delighted to announce that my new online shop Devon Crafts was launched last night. There is a permanent link on the top RH side.
The most amazing thing is that only with a little help from my daughter I did most of it myself. It needs a bit of fine tuning but the basics are there . Please take a look.
Summer has come at last. Strange orange thingy in the sky, no brooding grey on the horizon and I even had to get the watering can out last night.
Our local Lions Club take over an empty shop every summer and run a charity shop. The Toady radar was working overtime and I found a Mason Cash square pie dish and one of those wire chickens for putting eggs in. My best acquisition this week has been a beautiful Barum Ware jug. My neighbours who moved out yesterday had made a big pile of junk[?] at the end of their garden and sitting precariously on the top sat a beautiful enormous [4pint?] eartherware jug. It's a bit nibbled around the rim but otherwise perfect and probably about 70 years old. It is now sitting proudly on my jug shelf.
I must do my homework from the course today. I have to practice a breathing excercise and colour in a wheel of life. I shall do it in tasteful purple.

Toady I cried when i read your blog I was sooooo pleased those tablets have 'cut in' I knew they would if you could just get through the changeover. N saw his life change with them and we saw him change so much for the better. Your blogs are breezey and light...went down them on a catch up exercise...your world is opening again like a flower in spring...I am sooooo chuffed for you. Now what colour did the shed end up?
Back again ....have just been in the shop...Toady just look back to April and see how far you have come! Its lovely!
From little acorns oak trees grow, all the best with the shop and your continuing improved health, Toady. I am very happy for you.

Toady, well done, you have come so far and the online shop is great. You get a very peaceful vibe from the home page, and I particularly liked the commission a cushion idea and the bag with cottage on - just like my cottage! So glad you have achieved this. I admire you.
I've just let my tea go cold through to checking out your new site! I have my eye on one in particular. I'm really pleased and I wish you lots of success.

Citalopram certainly prevented me from feeling that I'd shed several layers of skin at a difficult time but you deserve a big pat on the back for yourself. Well done and very best wishes for the craft venture.
Fantastic Toady, I'm so pleased for you, off to have a good old browse now. You are talented and and I agree with SBS, it sounds like your world is opening up.
What a delightful 'shop' you have Toady. I am so pleased for you and wish you every success.
You have some lovely items in the shop and I wish you every success with the your new venture! Exciting times ahead!!
Wow Toady, what energy! Your shop site is fab.
I also cried when I read this Toady. I am so so pleased and proud of you girl!!
That website looks fantastic-I know what my business did for me and feel sure yours will lift your confidence and self esteem in just the same way.
You have battled that black dog and got the bugger pinned down!
Keep doing what you are doing and pushing forward my friend.
warmest wishes

Toady! Your shop is fabulous! I love the green and gold sun catcher. You made that? It's beautiful. I'm wondering what the postage would be to Lima...of course we have no sun here tobe caught by anything. What more do you have to surprise us with?! You've done great work here!
We will all have to run to keep up with you know. Looking back to when I first met you on CL . . . I can't believe how far we have all come - but you are top of the class today and an inspiration to others. Big purple hug.
