    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Yep, between the family loads of home made stuff, sweets, cards, photos, kitchenware, cushions, toys for kids and I'm starting woodturning and pottery! I have a pot of glue and a screwdriver for every occasion. Long live diy!!
