I thought I’d missed the raspberries this year because of being rushed into hospital and then all the time spent recovering after my operation. I went out to my favourite spot though to see if there were any left and was amazed how many were there – nobody else had been out picking and so I managed to collect tons whilst still leaving loads for the birds.

The boys (Colin and Dan) got me out of the house recently after my operation and we went fishing for mackerel. I didn’t do any fishing as I could hardly walk let alone do anything else, so I just watched them catch fish for supper. It was lovely to get out into the fresh air after being stuck in bed for so long not being able to do anything.

Colin took me a away for a weekend up north as his mum and dad were over from Ireland on a mini Scottish break and we thought we’d join them. We all booked into the same hotel in Pitlochry and had a lovely time. I was still hobbling about and taking the lift rather than the stairs and also staying in the car instead of going for long hikes with the dog, but it was lovely to get away and not have to worry about cooking and stuff like that.

This is something I might have to try – making polymer clay buttons – there are some vintage buttons that are unique and sometimes I find it hard to part with some of the jewellery I make as I know I’ll never come across another button like that again. With this idea, I could make a mould and create a duplicate to keep in my collection for reference and to remember.

This is a lovely button themed tutorial by Jen Jockisch over at the American Crafts Studio blog. Choose any letter from the alphabet, or maybe you want to do a number instead, and then select your colour pallet and pick out your buttons, choose a font etc and away you go….

Some of you may know that not only do I run Milomade, but I’m also a freelance web designer and run Eskymo New Media Design. I did a favour for a friend recently, taking lots of lovely photographs of her work for a new website I hope to design and build for her quite soon. In return she did a short print run of business cards for me and I was expecting to pick this up from here the next time I went over to Edinburgh, but…
