Getting things done

Yup. I sure am. All those works-in-progress projects that have been sitting unfinished for so long - I am making my way through all of them. I have made it my mission this week to start nothing new until all those little bits are done. I also have more work to take down to the gallery in the way of accessories so am just adding finishing touches. So the rest of today will be spent in the loft and then tonight will be movie watching whilst stitching and adding buttons.

So this little pile of gorgeous texture.......

became this beautiful victorian style collar (so lovely that I want to keep it for myself - but more will be on their way!) It is in the shop now!

And this unfinished bag is now here in my shop.... Umm how long does it take to sew on a handle and a snap fastening? Oh about 7 weeks apparently. Still things around here are a changin'. What with having no work (or hardly any) I really have to get my act together and it is all happening now! Nothing like the threat of poverty to kick start me into action.

Just one question. Why oh why does it take money to make money? I have been scouring the internet searching for potential craft fairs to apply for and when a table costs £50 - £80 ($100 - $160) what is a girl to do? The same goes for exhibitions. I think I may have said it yesterday and I shall say it again today........ Ho hum.

Oh and I went to my first knit and natter night last night! Great to meet new people and just get some time away from my hermit like existance. I shall be going again!

Doll painting in my painting studio tomorrow! I can hardly wait.

hurrah for slogging through unfinished projects!! I admire your resolve; I think I need to go through and do something similar--before all the w.i.p.'s take over. lol. ;)

best of luck with finding a show venue--I know they can be awfully hard to find and not break the bank! :p

Your collar is beautiful. I'm glad that you are catching up..it always makes me crazy to have undone things...they just nag at you. Good luck finding a craft fair....maybe you should start your own! Ok..Ok..I know you have enough to do already...LOL

Your creations finished and unfinished are beautiful :0D
Good luck in making your own way, we are doing so too. Leaving behind the secure life and moving country to start living off my felt.
