Miss Double Dom hits back

Good day to you out there in blog land
I'm back yes it's Miss Double Dom (nothing to do with rude things either!) it's been a fair while yes, but life happened jobs started, friendships grew and I've seen my friends suffer horrible loss but I'm back to documenting it and my crafty bits around with my thoughts on my day to day things (and this is ANYTHING)
firstly lets start with gigs I've gone to and the important one.

(Moriaty with added Chris Wolstenholme - Exeter Great Hall 20th March 2015)

It was a long emotional day seeing Muse in Exeter I cannot believe they came here, I cannot believe I didn't have to book a place to stay it feels like a dream did Muse really play here? 

I got confused with where I had to go but I made a barrier (I hate being in a middle) I didn't feel that anxious and I was Chris side as you can see 

the rare songs for me weren't that rare so I lost out on seeing songs I haven't, only agitated (not whinging, just saying I've gotten slack for that but whatever! I'm lucky I've seen them and I know it)

but by the last song (one of my favourites Reapers) I was a blubbering mess and I wanted to go home and curl up into a ball and cry, but typical crazy Muse fan style I would do it all again tomorrow!

In the past year I've seen The Kaiser Chiefs (x3) and I'm seeing them again in about three weeks! Example (x2) he kept me going over the past 18 months much like Calvin Harris does with his music! also Basement Jaxx (FINALLY! WAITED 10 YEARS!), Paloma Faith, Status Quo with Chas and Dave and Nik Kershaw I cannot think of any more thats only a couple compared to normal.

Work wise, I've started another job that I love, but being a good girl I won't say who or anything but I'm happy there as much as getting used to two jobs is getting to me, I'm still here and upright! 

Craft wise, look whats still going 

Exeter Crafts - May 2015 

It turns a year old TODAY! (well my first one was the 3rd but it's the birthday party tonight!) I'm so excited we are making sheep (pom pons, paper, felt ETC ALL THE SHEEP!) because I'm silly like that and enjoy doing silly makey type things.

I've also visited Birmingham for Allison Sadler's amazing Make It Sewcial meet up it was an incredible and inspiring day here's a few pics taken that day some taken on my phone by Kat M from blogtatular and one from Allison!

 our venue the impact hub in Birmingham, Exeter YOU NEED ONE!

I made this and wear it every day, 

I believe everyone has a craft they can do 

so DO IT!

it was meant to be think big 

but there was no big so it was this or craft so I added magic!

I think I've waffled on for long enough, I've promised myself to type more regardless, I've been told to just do it and thats exactly what I did with that craft evening of mine and now look at it a year old today, just go for it nothing is a failure if you learn from it.

stay awesome, with love from 

Ok I didn't really try - UPDATE!

Hello there blogland!

I got so caught up with my crafty evenings/work/life I got lost and didn't exactly have time to think what to write about or how, so this is my huge update on what has been going on in my Double Dom world.

• Craft evenings - These started in October  last year my first post here included my first one mentioned I got asked to make them fortnightly and they went on from there, friends still turn up and join me every now and then for tea and "makes", but this led onto something greater "Exeter Crafts" this is a monthly event held at The Oddfellows pub in Exeter the first Tuesday of the month (the next one being 1st july from 7pm), we tend to have a theme and make something from/for that theme, but I'm ok with people bringing their own crafts to do with us, this is only the start we have big plans!  

• South West Blog Social  - what a lovely day it was I've got problems when it comes to me going out on my own but I'm fighting them and i'm so glad I did! it was packed day about blogging in general how to use it better etc filled with food, beauty and mummy bloggers and so much more was very lovely to meet so many different bloggers as well, I went along because I went to a blogging meeting the monday previous, it's getting me into this, incredibly glad I am too!

• I've started a blog with one of my best friends who moved away this spring, it's in the process of being started ideas and the like so watch this space! we're on the way with our crafty skillz inspirational people and so much more!

• Exeter Pride - I closed a road for them! had a bit of a meltdown in doing so BUT no one died and thats the important part! I also sang in "Spectrum" the local LGBT (& Friends) choir it's every tuesday and I love going it's a bit of a jammed day for me (charity work in the morning followed by work work!) but it's worth it! it was a mental day but I'm gald I did my little bit it all helped a great day for the city I live in.

Thats all I can think of at this present moment, more bloggyness to come from me I'm slowly getting more organised with life, as said before my english/grammar isn't very good I tend to write how I talk so apologies for that.

bai bai for now

First postings and Craft evenings

Hello and Welcome to Double Dom's Crafting blog!

I've tried blogging before and I'm not that great in keeping up with posts but this time i'm determined to at least try some points you must know before I start 

1. I'm USELESS at English and grammar (being Dyslexic doesn't help me here) in time I'll find a proof reader! (it's on the to do list so bare with me)

2. I'm a bit scatty so I don't post as frequently as others, but I'm working on getting organised! any tips would be appreciated!

ANYWAY HELLO THIS IS MY NEW BLOG! 

*~Fanfare~*

I'm Dominique (or May/Maysie depending on what you want to call me!)
A 30 something who makes things in Devon with the help of my Mother in Cornwall (she knits for cornwall and possibly the UK!) 
My Favourite things to make are, Button Jewellery and anything Crocheted! 
Together we made Double Dom Does (yet to fully start the store, thanks to rubbish lighting for photos and bad timing organisation on my part BUT it's coming!) 
and I started my craft evenings off starting this 

Craft evenings
granted I've only had one of them, and as far as i'm concerned it was a success! two books I've read over the past few months gave me the boost to do this by myself one was 
Jazz Domino Holly's - Queen Of Crafts for the section on gatherings (just blummin' do it!)
and Craft In edited by Kathleen Mccafferty the "box" is full of mini books with projects for crafty gatherings (making your own hula hoop! YAY!)

Those books gave me ideas just to have friends around have a cup of tea and make "all the things" My first gathering was the first Friday in October, possibly moving them to Wednesdays if thats easier for friends to come (and it was friends only but can and will open to others if they wish to join!)  

What the future holds with this little project of mine who knows, but I'm glad I've made my first steps in trying to do something crafty I enjoy, just got to keep up the momentum!

Would you hold you own craft night?
