Well l was being a thrifty Mrs this afternoon by melting down all my scented candles as l hate throwing them away,l had some very thin taper candles and cut them down to use as the wicks l think they turned out very well l added some essential oils to refresh them and they smell wonderful, and the best bit is l get to reuse my lovely little pots some have lily of the valley flowers on them and one is a little garden pot with my name and its meaning ,my son and his partner bought me this one last year it was an hours work but very worthwhile . 
My husband rang me while l was doing my candles to tell me there were some more redundancies today 40 so far and by this time next week it will be more like 70 we do not know where we stand in all this but at the moment l do not see any sense in worrying ,what will .be will be. Over the weekend l finnished a little top for Joshua l will post it to him tommorow. 
l have taken a few pictures of some very sweet boxes l brought just after xmas l do not know yet what to put in them but l do not think they will be empty for long. 
Well will say by for now.

That is a good idea to reuse the candles.We enjoyed a trip to England last spring.Thank you for visiting me and leaving a comment.
Take care,

Those candles look great! Yes, Waltons fabrics I think it's called. Ha ha he was on about extending the shop when I used to go there ten years ago! Glad to hear it's still open. I might have to drive over there one day with the Moomin in tow and make a serious dent in my bank balance!!
Fingers crossed on the whole job front. It's terrible the effect this crunch is having on the lives of everyone. We have to keep going though, don't we.

You've been busy! I hope all is well with your family.
I discovered recently that I have an ancestor who was from North Yorkshire. I hope someday to go visit his birthplace.
I've thought of doing this as well, but for some crazy reason I'm terrified I might burn the house down in the process so I won't do it! lol
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
