Susan Jones – Writer

Hope you’re all enjoying the weather. We’ve been in the garden a lot. Tomatoes and lettuce are growing well, along with spinach and radish. I had my writing magazine yesterday, so it’s going to be a great weekend catching up with latest news and views on the writing world.

Have you read my latest book yet? I am ordering more copies soon, and if you’d like a signed copy, let me know and I will organise a book box for you. Book and gifts is £15 that includes postage. I have a review! It means so much to writers to have a few words on how you enjoyed the book, or what you thought of it. All of my books are available as signed by me. Otherwise you will find them on Amazon kindle or paperback.

I’m crocheting a summer scarf. You know the type made in cotton, and to slip around your neck to stop the sun burning too much. Also handy for evenings or mornings when it’s a bit cool to have an open neck. I’ll put pictures on here when I’ve done them.

It’s a good time to de-clutter when you can open doors and windows and get rid of stuff you might be hoarding. Yet again, I love making something out of nothing, like my little journals. They’re so cute and handy to keep in your bag of the moment. Talking about bags, I have… well, I’d better not count otherwise I might think it would be sensible to get rid of a few, but they all have a meaning or a memory. Gifts from special people, freebies grabbed from different shows and exhibitions. My Romantic Novelist bags from conferences, etc. And, I am doing a tapestry, started long ago. After a year or two, mom said, let me finish it for you. Then it stayed in her house for around 5 years! Then she said do you want it back, so I did. Now it sits there waiting to be completed… One day soon.

What crafts are you enjoying, and do you take them on the move with you. I’m going on a day out tomorrow, and we’ll take chairs, with cushions, and my writing magazine will be with me. Sometimes it just feels better to get away from your usual environment and do a bit of relaxing somewhere else don’t you agree?

Next time, I’ll show you my new book cover, and working on that in between other crafts. I aim to create a pair of shorts next! Aim high, and see what happens, that’s my motto.

Happy bank holiday weekend, whatever you’re up to, and keep making time for reading and writing and keep on doodling.

See you next time,
