Early Birthday Presents and Sparkling Kitchens...

... Is what fantastic Thursdays are made of.

Despite first thing, whilst half way through the washing up with Mikey, our sink breaking today was a really great day.

Thankfully the sink is now fixed.

My Mum visited today and we went to a lovely wool shop just round the corner from mine called Norfolk Yarn where I got an early birthday present loaddddsss of amazingly coloured fleece for felting with

Thanks Mum!

Once getting home I was determined to have my kitchen spotless and I mean spotless like its never been before and I thought it only fair to share my success with photos (how sad am I)
Only those who have seen some of the states my kitchen has been in will realise how much of a big deal this is and how proud my mother will be haha.

You can finally see my kitchen table, which we ate on I will add!

I really need/want to resurface this table am still looking for inspiration, please feel free to share some ideas I would love to hear what you guys think.

Optimism Restored

Today was a very dragging day at work, as the were virtually no customers to serve, rendering my day boring as sin.

However since I have got home a reverted to my etsy/art side of the day things have very much picked up. I had a lovely email from a fellow Etsian to say she had featured me in her treasury, check it out:

Also I have been investigating selling my work in an actual bricks and mortar shop, very exciting stuff.

I am also currently preparing for my very first craft fair, which is on the 4th of April in Cambridge. It is an event called Handm@de Cambridge and you can check out the event's blog here:

It feels very nice to have settled down from the hoo haa of sorting out a new job back into my old routine at my messy desk, with a cat "helping"

Off to create new pieces now!

Seeing Red

I have taken another unplanned blog vaction, many apologies, this time it was purely due to work levels.

While I have been away I have managed to blag myself a nice new day job with Calvin Klein :)

Also whilst away I have been working on a colour project and have been drowning in the colour red:


Right now I am working on creating some new business cards and making very long lists of things I need to do before my first craft fair :)
