Good morning everyone ITSSSSS Friday and the weekend is nearly here yippie!! Well I woke up this morning to find out Labour has won and we have a new Prime Minster, I’m not sure if I’m happy that it’s happened or not we really do need to sort the country out, but how, is the question, and is Labour the best government to do it, to be truthful with you all I voted Reform UK and they do actually have a seat in parliament now, who did you vote for and are you happy or sad Labour got in.

Good morning everyone Happy Wednesday and the middle of the working week. It’s going to rain in Maidstone today, where’s our summer gone. I’m really not sure what to do today, I started 2 new models, the first one I messed up the paper part in it I think I over did the pva glue and the second one the what would be side the paper ripped while I was smoothing it out so I found card to replace it, so not a good day for it yesterday, so I might carry on or I might just put them both back in here box and go and re think it all out.

Good morning everyone Happy Tuesday and it looks like it’s going to rain, less than 24 hours and I get a new boiler fitted the one I have now I had it put in 17 years ago, it’s a really good boiler but it needs a part to stop the hot water going into the radiators so I’ve had to switch it off because who wants the heating on in the summer, not many people so tomorrow it’s being replaced and I will have hot water at last and I can’t wait 😛 Have a super fantastic day, take care and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning everyone ITSSSSS Friday and the weekend is nearly here yippie!! This week has just wizzed by I had to double check the day. The dentist was a waste of time yesterday but how a dentist can’t do any work that’s needed is beyond me, so I need another one but hey ho it will all come out in the wash so they say and I put some more crafts on thecraftersden selling overstock page so pop over I need to take photos again now. Have a super fantastic day, take care and stay safe everyone xx

13/06/2024

Good morning everyone, Happy Thursday and it looks like it’s going to be a lovely sunny day. Today well this afternoon I’m at the torture clinic (dentist) why we go here is beyond me, I’ve got to go there because my infusion I had for my Osteoporosis has rotted my teeth and damaged my jaw, its so bad when my teeth fall out they fill like putty all soft but hey ho I will need them all out now because I have gaps where there isn’t supposed to be and they are rotten now and to be truthful with you I’m embarrassed when I talk to people because of it. So dentures top and bottom and on the plus side no toothache and to be fair they are my baby teeth my adult ones never come through the X rays are so interesting but word of warning if you get Osteoporosis and the offer you the infusion don’t have it if you value your teeth and jaw. Have a super fantastic day, take care and stay safe everyone xx

So today my job is getting it all on there so I can take more photos. So bare with me, Have a super fantastic day, take care and stay safe everyone xx

11/06/2024

thecrftersden story

thecraftersden is a small business based in Maidstone Kent. It all started when my daughter brought me my first card making kit and i enjoyed it so much that i made my hobby into a small business in 2014. I make all types of gifts for all different types of occasions and recently made some custom Memorial plaques out of fairy doors and mounted it onto another flat plaque, the customer wanted a football pitch on one and a wrestling ring on the other, it was a massive challenge and the customers were more than happy with the result as well as some pet memorials. I do like a challenge, and will try my best on anything i make. And i wil only use high quality materials on all of my handmade gifts. I do also run quite a few events where i sell good quality craft making items, my very first event was £1.00 or less in 2014 and i still run them, along with the Anything and everything event, both are very successful and i have a lot of very happy customers. I also try and find the cheapest way of to post out your orders, And i ship Worldwide. If you would like me to make you a special gift for any occasion then please contact me and i will get back to you as soon as i can or you would to be apart of my events just go to my page and the events will be advertised there. Thank you for reading my story take care x
