Busy Bee!

Life seems very busy at the moment - so much so that my lovely husband sat me down and organised me the other day, with a brilliantly simple spreadsheet of all the projects I am involved in at the moment, including three of the children's birthdays, decor and the cake for some friends' wedding and project managing the creation of a Nature Garden at our Pre-school.

Alongside this, I am trying my hardest to get ready for the one show this year I feel able to do, The Fete in the Park at Petworth on July 9th. I have SOOOOO many ideas bursting out of my head and most mornings I wake up with them spilling out of my unconscious state into the day...I'll have to keep a sketchbook beside the bed! If only I had the time to match the ideas! Still, at least now I have been professionally organised I can be a bit more peaceful that there is at least the prospect of allotted crafting time!


I have been working on these beauties for a while and I now have what seems like hundreds spilling out of several boxes - like a whole miniature village! They are waiting for new homes, and once I reach the bit of my list that says "Upload my stock to Folksy" you'll be able to get your hands on one!



I have enjoyed getting all the beads out again - such beautiful glistening colours and wonderful fiddliness - I do love tricky, little things! (Like my children.....)

By the way, had a bit of a moment when I opened my magazine to find an article on Poppy Treffry - just LOVE her beautiful things, her cheerful style and the deftness of her drawings. It was a real treat to indulge in the pictures of her workshop, looking into every little corner and wishing I was actually there....one day maybe I'll meet her and we can exchange notes on various sewing tips.....
Sigh.......
