to be or not to be creative today

my place today- after enjoying watching the athletics at the domain today - I headed home for some lunch, warmth brrrr, and some pattern planning making etc- 

a dear friend of mine has asked if I can make a little owl for her adorable son who is turning 2 next week- so busy planning that one for her- it should be easy so will endeavor to complete it this wkd for delivery to her next Monday...

that's the plan any how- plus oskar has given me another blueprint for a softie he would like me to make and sell under silver nutmeg label...I would also love to have a few of these ready over the weekend....

what has everyone else been creating?  look here...

Inspiration - LOVE this

I want I want I want- so I had better get busy hooking!! (keep it clean people) 

I have a day creating at home tomorrow - well that's after the athletics carnival and grocery shopping- do we really need food and loo paper and washing detergent??

I like pretty things at the moment, girlie pretty things even pink things, I like nice people, sweet home baked goodies, my loved ones, old friends, good people, grannies of both kinds, hard working people, compassionate people, non judgmental people, people who have been places and lived some life and understand that life is life- oh I like chocolate too, I may even like a nice quite drink tonight also...

what do you like?

How nice to get such wonderful feedback from a customer an email I received a day ago- I think it was sent earlier but my ISP issues have slowed everything down - thank you Louise! 

Hi - Just wanted to send a brief email to say how much I love your work................. I have been along to a few markets recently and have purchased a few items from your stalls.........  I just love the fabrics you use and most of all your designs..... I look forward to seeing you at another market and will be busy saving my $ so I can buy some more goodies.....

I really wanted to say what a wonderful job you do !!!

Cheers

one of those days......weeks.....months.....maybe years?

Sorry everyone but this is going to be a bit of a rant so if that's not your thing please skip right by and enjoy your day!! 
Some how waking up today I knew it was going to be a day of challenges...well the whole week has been really actually is it just me or does it seem there are just a lot more challenges around at the moment??
Now don't get me wrong I am a girl who LOVES challenges- actually I tend to get bored if I have none and start questioning myself that I must not be contributing enough to my life as it is all a little too easy.....sounds a bit silly hey I should instead be content that things are easy and happy?  Just me I guess ask anyone who knows me well and I think they'll agree I am a lady (well the might not agree with the lady part - heheh) who takes on a challenge even one that may seem impossible or too scary to the majority and mostly I manage to get through them quite successfully- but of late I am just finding it all a bit too hard- have I lost my challenge fighting edge?? Is my whole " I will Survive" spirit leaving me???
I hope not- I keep telling myself that if there are  a lot of full on challenges now then that MUST mean the really good stuff must not be too far away either- if I can just make it through this one, just get this bit finished.....
As I am typing this I must admit it does feel good to put things in text  I used to keep a diary as a kid- hmm but that ended badly and is a whole other story..
Any how I have a lot to get done- too much I would admit for one person to get done in a day if I was to stop and think about it- which i regularly don't as that would just be too much of a reality freak out!! A day at a time, a task at a time, sometimes even an hour or minute at a time if often heard coming out of my mouth..
I'm not crazy just crazy busy!!! AND I do know now that if/when I do push myself too far there are consequences that take a bit to recover from....But mostly I do love it all the crazy busyness and manage to be a pretty damn fine juggler of it all but every now and then a slippery one gets thrown in that is just too hard to keep hold of or keep up in the air for just long enough...I guess that's just life though isn't it? AND I do know that i am not alone in this crazy busy life as I have my sweet little family who understand mostly and I see and hear the same things going on for other mums and families- like I said a bit of a rant but must now suck it up and get one with it I have just heard telecommunications company service man is coming back- have had VERY limited internet access for the last few weeks even though all of our equipment has been replaced ($$) they have so lovingly agreed to come out and check their side of it.....girls got to love a good challenge ;)
Will be back later today with my creative place now I have got rid of all this junk from my head!! Thanks xxx
