Hello, I'm Handy
I live near the Humber Estuary where I crochet, taxi my Young'un around, watch Dr Who, Strictly, Bake-Off, Sewing Bee etc, go to occasional random gigs and walk when my foot isn't crocked!
Married to Mr H for 34 years, adjusting to life beyond work, opposite of a domestic goddess 😁

Poor old Young'un has had a cake order downgraded to a batch of cupcakes because the customer didn't want to pay her asking price.
The downside of life as a prospective small business owner!
She did a beautiful job of the cupcakes.
Although she did suggest writing "Tight Arse" inside the box lids 😁

Luna is here and this is the face of a Very Tired Puppy who is refusing to go to sleep
Today we have practiced Sit, Wait and Heel and she's been chasing her tail which is a bit of a precarious business on a laminate floor.
Especially when most of you is legs...

Thank you!
We've just reached the target on our Crowdfunder.
I can't tell you how much this means. It's been something I really wanted to work. And thanks to you it has.
With Grace's permission, this is an email she just sent me.
I'm overwhelmed.

I grew up on the North Yorkshire Moors and I miss the hills but by gum we get some good skies out here!

Post an old photo of you, if you choose 🙂
Aged around ten here (am going by my hair length!) so this would be late 1970s
The dog was called Twiggy and the photo was probably taken by my Mum.
I'm outside our kitchen window and behind me you can see the barn, the granary and the hen-house.

Hahahahaa my last online order date is 15th December by which time I will have lost my mind due to markets and fairs. But seriously, if you want anything buy it now. Thank you. Here is a picture of some pots that aren't quite dry enough to fire which is VERY FRUSTRATING. <Link in bio>

My pal Luna is here, and today we have practiced Sit, Wait, Come and Heel, as well as rediscovering that felt snuffle balls and water bowls don't make a good combination
Now we are doing Sneaky Knee Naps.
Nobody is to tell Mr H that Luna's bum is propped on his chair, OK? #DogsOfBlueSky
