It's friday

Thank God it's Friday, and I have no plans for the weekend and I LOVE IT...... all I want to do is catch up on some reading, watch TV and do a little sketching and that's it, so I suppose this is a plan after all.
I hope every one had a good Easter break
In other news I have finished my business plan and things are looking good, I don't have the money to buy everything I want straight away, so I will have to do it bit by bit {this is real life} but I'm a positive person and I choose to look at the brighter side of life. After the wedding show my mission was to set up some sort of website. and I found out about googlepages which is free so this is in development and I hope to have it up and running by Sunday. I need to set up an Etsy shop, as am typing this I realise that it is going to be a busy weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
these are a few of the samples I brought to the show, I know I have to work on my product photography so be easy on me, have a good weekend.

It spring

Officially it's the first day of spring here in the UK, and this makes me soooo happy I am fed up of being cold even when the heating is on in the house, am so looking forward to seeing this....

This is from the garden last year before I started blogging.

In other news I know I have been a bad blogger but I have a good excuse. as I have mentioned before about starting my business I had a wedding show to attend last Sunday, and for the last month I have been designing and making samples for the show I've been knee deep in card, paper, ink etc but it has been worth it. I only got a chance to take a few photos of the show before the public was allowed in which I will post over the weekend. it was my first show so I didn't know what to expect but it was good meeting my potential customers face to face. my sister played the role of my assistant for the day, In the days leading up to the show I was so emotional I was happy, nervous, sick anxious and everything in the middle, I was thinking will people like my work.

I can laugh about it now but on Saturday I was sick with a fever and vomiting, I felt under pressure. I think this was due to the fact that your business is your baby and you are responsible for everything. and with all the money and time I have invested, I wanted to put my best foot forward, over all I enjoyed the experience and I can't wait to attend another show.

Happy Easter, don't eat to much chocolate (yeah right!!!) and stay Blessed.
