What can I accomplish this week

I had a nice long weekend, if only every week could start on a Tuesday! It was CJ's birthday on Sunday so we went to the dogs with a few of his friends on Saturday night and then lunch with the family on Sunday.On Monday we didn't do too much, I treated CJ to breakfast at the garden centre. He had to go off to work at 3pm which was a pity because we couldn't really go out and do something. The weather started off really nice but it became quite cold and windy later.

I have evenings to myself this week since CJ is working a later shift. It means less hours in the day for him, which is a good thing since I heard on the radio this morning that working 11 hours a day is bad for your health and you are 2/3 times more likely to have a heart attack - scary! For me it means a few more hours to get on with my crafts. I really should get back to my bookkeeping course as well, maybe next week...!

I am hoping to put another item in my shop soon, I'm trying to decide which design to use on my beige napkins. My cat-napkins were quite popular and they sold quickly but I want to do something different.

I am thinking of an african design to go with the napkin rings I am currently working on. I may even get to finish them off this week and will be posting pics once they are complete. I want to make it my mission to try and complete one project per week. I need to start putting more items in my shop, and I plan to approach a few local shops to see if they would be willing to sell a few of my products.

Roundup

It's been a while since i last blogged. Life has been plodding along, my birthday came and went - not that i really feel much older. Our landlord finally sorted out the heating which is a lot better and quite good since it's suddenly got really cold, snow is expected tomorrow, although i hear some people have been snowed in up North. I'm praying for a snow day so i don't have to go into work! I'm not really enjoying my job at the moment, i'm really bored and feel there are so many other things i could rather be doing with my time. Although since i've not got a lot of work to do i have been doing other things!

I've decided to try and see if i can make some money selling my crafty things. I've created a few designs which i want to put on bags and t-shirts and see if they will sell. I've shown a few designs to my family and friends and have gotten quite positive feedback. My mum was really excited with my ideas, i had to tell her i'd not actually printed my designs yet, that she had to wait to see if anyone would actually buy them! Sweet though and nice to have the support. I will upload some pics when i have printed a few designs and created a folksy account. I am very greatful for the internet otherwise i don't think any of this would be possible. So watch this space because i should have a few items to sell shortly!

Back the the design drawing board.....
