It’s Funny Like That

Do you ever feel so INCREDIBLY overwhelmed with life? I sometimes feel like I want to retire. Not because of my job (I enjoy working with my husband, Dad and other other team members; and the work I do is enjoyable, and new), but sometimes just because of life. I get a taste for all these wonderful things I could be doing- sewing, crafting, scraping etc and I think, “Goodness, why don’t I just do this ALL the time?!”

But alas, it’s not really like that, is it? We HAVE to work to make money to buy the crafty things we need!

I HAVE joined a craft group, which is helping me to enjoy and release my creative side. It’s my Nana’s craft group. We meet on Tuesday mornings, about 9-12 at Nana’s. Of course, this means I’m taking some time off work, BUT I’m making it up by working an extra hour each other day. Here’s what I’ve done in the last two weeks:

The top half of our Christmas wall hanging.

This post is, by the way, dedicated to my friend Mandy, who thinks I need to chat more on this blog…

My angels are a bit different to everyone else’s, but hey, was I EVER really going to conform to the pattern? They also look a bit different… STARS are going at the top, which will be very cute.
