Busy bee


Gosh, I have been so busy this week. I've not had a great week at work, it's been one of those 1 step forward and 2 steps back weeks. You try and get something done and it back fires. I'm also insanely busy, I make a 15 line to-do list and all that happens is instead of crossing things off I end up adding to them.

Anyway, I had a big order from this lovely lady on Monday and wanted to sort that out for her in time for mother's day. Then I've been making various presents from family and friends:

[Gorgeous vintage fabric cushion]
[student shopping bag for Tim's cousin][2 Amy Butler patchwork cushions]

I've taken a week off from exercise/after work activities because I nearly killed myself! I work long hours and don't get in usually until 7pm so add a couple of hours on top of that exercising then I don't get home until bed time! I hope you're all having a better week, I'm really looking forward to the weekend! :-)

P.s Thank you so much for the award Floss, I will post about it asap. :-)

Hi Sian, I just don't know how you do it all! Love the floral cushion. Dare I say it, but I am not keen on the union jack thingy that seems to have taken the blog world by storm, however, I appreciate the work that goes into it all and you bag and tea cosies etc look great. Enjoy your weekend. dev X

You busy thing! Your makes are gorgeous. You need to take some time off for yourself but I know what it's like working long hours.
Take care of yourself.

Love the new cushion. Time to take a break and put your feet up I think!
You asked about the taps - I got them on Ebay for the great price of £20ish. I love them, they're old and marked but I think they're fab.
Have a lovel & quiet weekend

Busy girl! I love the bag you made, and all the other things too! I think you deserved some time off exercising etc.

Ooh the shop is really coming on, lots of lovely things to buy.

My blog has come out of hibernation so should be more regular posts now and I have started a new literary blog too...
