    Thank you very much Don. That's very lovely of you. I enjoy reading
    the daily digest and "chatting" with all the wonderful folk on the
    forum and have learned so much as a result. 

    I do sometimes have bad days when nothing seems to go right and I
    get frustrated, and such days are usually punctuated by many times of
    having to assume the jewellers' position to retrieve something
    that's jumped out of my butter fingers, whilst also being very
    generous to my scrap pile! But I've learned that that is normal and
    on such days, it's better to stop fabricating and perhaps read some
    of the vast material I have waiting to be digested instead. Then try
    again tomorrow. I've never yet wanted to give up - it has to be the
    most enjoyable of all the disciplines I've ever tried and this is one
    I will NOT be giving up. In fact I'm rather excited this week because
    although I've not yet tried to sell anything, I've had two people
    wanting to commission me to make something for them (but nothing's
    written in stone yet) and today I've had my first definite order so
    perhaps I'm doing something right. 

    Thanks for your kind words Don.
