Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere to share the ups and downs of starting a craft business, with plenty of tips, mishaps and the odd glass of wine!

Giving up the Day Job...

... Means that I can do all those really exciting things like:

- The laundry
- The weekly shop
- Go to Weight Watchers
- Tidying the house.....

But it also means I can spend more time doing cool things like making these gorgeous baby booties (these are actually for a friend's baby, but they will also get listed as a made to order item in my shop):



 and then embellishing them with rockets and planets :-)

It is SO nice to be able to say 'I LOVE my job'!



Now I've got to get on with my tax return - I've been putting it off!

But in between I'll be catching up with everyone over on the Handmade Monday link up :-)

    Laundry? Tidying the house? They will only need doing again, so leave them and enjoy yourself. The booties are lovely, great fun and a gorgeous colour. Hope you have a good YOU week.

    What gorgeous little booties - and they are of course far more important than laundry and tidying.

    I much prefer your efforts at making booties in comparison to having to do the housework. It's so distracting being at home. I love the rocket and planet design so cute.

    I am sure that laundry and tidying will not make you as happy as making thee gorgeous booties did. Stick with what makes you happy is what I say!

    I'm in the same boat as you - first time I've ever loved my job, it's a revelation isn't it (the tax return malarky is not so much fun, but really a small price to pay I think)! Seems like you've made the right decision to me - these are just too cute! Love the rocket in particular!

    Seems likes I have even less time for those things since I started working from home :-D

    The booties look great, perfect for a little boy.

      Thanks Stephen! I think once I get into a groove with the work I probably won't worry so much about the housework so much - at the moment it's a bit of a novelty!!
