We have no power in DC Land today due to scheduled ESB maintenance so if we don’t answer your call or email you know why. In the meantime it’s feet up for a quick coffee then I’m getting the beads out. #downlandcrafters #craftbizparty

I spent this afternoon on the phone to a very nice man from A Post who’s been helping me with a €180 customs charge on a €50 order. Seems the sender may have put the decimal point in the wrong place. On a happier note I got some more beading done on my pen wrap. #downlandcrafters #craftbizparty
