better late than never

As there was a hint of sun today I was able to take the photos of the lovely gifts I was sent at Christmas.I was lucky enough to recieve this wonderful needlecase from hensteeth herself.



Thank you Viv, with wonderful timing you helped me tidy my very messy workbox, I never knew I had so many needles!

And then there is the darling Mr Tweet from Jackie from dogdaisychains.

I love him, thank you too.

I have another sewing acquisition that will shortly be arriving, a wonderful 50's sewing basket from Donna , my birthday present to myself.

So soon I really will have no excuse to improve my sewing skills, except the elusive time but that's always in short supply.

I have oodles of things on my to do list, some in transition, some not even begun.

I've got my etsy shop and the stock to put in it but am delaying actually biting the bullet.Is it as simple as uploading photo's?I keep going to look at other people's shops and they all look like they know what they're doing.There's my website that needs seeing too as well, I paid for it and that's been about it.

It will get done, soon.I've started a new blog too, loveartlovekids which I'm going to use to document the creative work I do with children, which is masses.I need to find some rings I can join for it as I am operating in a vacuum at the moment.Any ideas for where I can join would be much appreciated.

SO many ideas and notions!I don't know whether to be scared or exhilarated.A bit of both really.I started a new job a few weeks ago too, as well as continuing my old one and have started a part time college course so maybe I just need certifying?It certainly sounds mad when you write it all down.

I'm going to take a deep breath and finish this post.

Bye for now
