It has been two weeks and counting with NO INTERNET and I feel like a fish out of water!!!!! I am amazed at how I depend on the Internet for every thing from business to personal contact with friends and family. and I hate using public computers so until my connection is up and running I am going to be hard to find around here....... and I must say that I miss catching up with you girls on your blogs.
so until I don't know when............ stay blessed.

Audition
I went to an audition with my sister in south London on Wednesday, I have alot of respect of people who go through this, she was auditioning for a TV show looking for singers.
There was about 20 people in the studio and they had to sing in front of the group as well as the shows producers, at times it was hilarious because there were the obvious time wasters and then the real singers but what ever I think of them shouldn't matter they were following their dreams and all power to them!!!!!!

Hi
Just a quick note to say hi, There's so many things to do and not enough hours in the day. it's all business around here, I am developing new designs and glued to the mobile phone and the computer and as usual this blog is suffering.
But I will challenge myself once again to post every day for a week from Monday but the twist will be I have to post a photo of a creative venture everyday. this might be a card, scrapbook layout, some knitting, drawings, or some fashion designs!!!!! so watch this space.
In other news I made my first Etsy sale today it was only for a sample but I am well happy!!!! I have always up until now made sales through meeting with my customers and word of mouth over the phone or email so this makes a good change.
Stay blessed ............

Shop
I have finally done it, I have an Etsy shop!!!!!!!! Well if the truth be told I signed up for the shop in November last year, but I didn't have the time to really sort everything out until now.
Since my last post I have been working none stop, last Sunday I meet with a client who wanted Invitations and she wanted them ASAP.................. So I worked flat out until Thursday afternoon when I delivered the order.
I was so tired the I actually slept until after 9am on Friday morning.
Saturday I set up the shop and posted my Invitations for the first time, which took forever.
I was seriously on the computer for like 6 hours I don't know if it was the Etsy shop's network or my computer but it was moving so slow.
Sunday I had a relaxed day spent time reading your blogs, I watched two movies one was an old favorite "You've got mail" with Meg Ryan and Tom hanks, and the other was a British/Indian film "Brick Lane" and I cooked Sunday Dinner for myself and my brother.
Just a brief recap of the last 8 days
Stay blessed until next time.

Sunday
OK I just about managed to blog for a week with the exceptions of the two days that I forgot. {even though I did post twice on those days} this hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. so I have no excuses I have to try to do better with this blog, I'm aiming for three times a week and I will see how it goes from there...............
I worked today but it was good, the client I visited had a 10 month old baby girl who was so adorable. which made the visit so relaxed because sometimes going into people's homes can be very intimidating not knowing what to expect. Both Mother and Baby were so open and welcoming it was easy for us to work out what she wanted for her Invitations, this order is such short notice so I will be working flat out until Thursday when I deliver. well it's 10 to Midnight and I need my bed so stay blessed until....... maybe tomorrow

Saturday
I have done it once again forgotten to post Saturday I was occupied making samples for a client and arranging meetings for Sunday.
I have decided to keep the exercise programme going Monday to Friday, five days a week is enough for me at the moment.
earlier in the month I joined myspace {with a little doubt whether it would be any good for networking for my business} and I have been pleasantly surprised by the response, so if there is anyone out there who is maybe thinking about joining I say go ahead and see what happens, because at the moment the promotion of the business is the hardest but most rewarding thing just letting people know that you are here and trading. luckily there is a big trend across the globe for handmade goods which makes it easier for people like me.
