Time for a catch up!!!

Hello everyone,

I have had my hands full with sick kids for a couple of weeks, just as one gets better, the other one gets it. There are awful bugs around at this time of year, but I am happy so say that we are almost fully recovered and bug free.
I set myself a little challenge a couple of weeks ago to stock up for the upcoming markets I have over the next few months. I have two babies, a 3 year old and a 1 year old, and the usual things that come with kids, a husband, running a household, and working part-time. Time management is so important!!!
I found myself taking far too long to get through projects I had set myself and spending a lot of time over-thinking and worrying about what my customers would want. The start of this month was a very creative time for me, so I wanted to harness that creativity and make the most of it. So I decided to make a journal a day until the end of the month, so August could be spent making other artsy fun stuff for my display. By the end of the month I had to have 22 journals made....

Here's how I got on so far...


 
I managed to get 24 journals made!!! Yay. They all came together so easily and freely. After many late nights with my babies tucked up in bed I got there. There are still 2 days left in July so I am just finishing up a few with tags and other fun stuff. I also have another project underway that I am very excited about. I will put up more photos soon. Much love, and have a fantastic week...

What I've been up too!!!

We have had a busy week-month!!! I'm not too sure where June went, but I finished and delivered a custom order last weekend. I loved working on this journal, and had so much fun. Wishing the bride and groom a wonderful life together xx






I also took part in another market and had such a good day meeting the public and some very talented stall holders. My next few projects are under way, so I better go and start ticking things off my to do list!!!
