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.

later......

Friday

I have that Friday feeling it's been a good day. I spent the day networking, sending out promotional emails and letters. and doing general paper work, I have been sitting at the computer for hours now so I am out..............

Thursday

Hello again, I have a laid back day didn't do anything special just a little sketching and plenty of TV

But I have some sad news come in this evening my former pastors wife was on holiday with her Sister and her youngest child in Spain, and her 15 year old son died of an heart attack!!!! how does this happen to a teenager???

Take this as a lesson people live your dream because life is to short to live unhappy.

Peace

Wednesday

OMG I totally forgot to post yesterday so here it is...... I decided for a change of scenery and I went to the park I really enjoyed the time, I found the church tucked away in the old town, along with Victorian grave headstones and a lovely walled flower garden.

I was invited to a birthday Dinner of which I declined, and I spent the evening with my sister, niece (13) and nephew(17 months) instead. She has that teen spirit and the new baby energy going on, which I find fascinating because when you walk through the door the toddler comes running trying to talk to you in his baby language and Tisha has her teenage girlie things that she is telling me about.

This was taken a few months ago, on the day of the his Christening

I didn't get back home until well after midnight and I remembered to blog when I was already in bed.....

Until later when I post about today's adventures

Tuesday

Hello I am enjoy another day of good weather, I actually wore a t shirt wow summer is coming people and I can't wait because last year it rained all the way through summer it's no wonder Rhianna's song Umbrella did so well in the UK charts, I'm sure it was Number 1 in the charts for 9 or 10 weeks, well at least someone profited from our bad weather.

I am an avid reader I have more books than have space to store them, they are in my mother's Loft & in my sister's cupboard I'm the person you know that has piles of books and magazines in nearly every corner. But since last November I haven't had the time to do much reading my sister bought me T D Jakes latest book for Christmas but I not pass chapter 2 yet which is so not like me. from what I have read so far it seems like a good read.

I would highly recommend this book by Sidney Poitier It's inspiring, when I think of where he came from to where he is today.

In other News.... I accepted a place at university today to study Fashion Design this has been a childhood dream that has deluded me which I started before but I had to drop out due to a serious health problem, at one point I didn't think I would be here today but thanks to God I am now well that is why I can't let the dream die. so yes I will be going back to University at 32 and I am so happy right now. and I will be posting my college adventures on this blog for the world to see.

am out until tomorrow...........

Monday

OK as I said on Saturday I want to blog everyday for a week, so here I go......

I use to hate Monday mornings it was the fact that my weekend was officially over and then it was the 6.30am alarm just the whole thing when you work outside the home. it was a beautiful Morning and I was determined to stop the lying to my self.... you know the one you tell yourself about diet and exercise that you will start on Monday morning well the diet I have been working on since last year on and off. Last month I went for a weigh in at the doctors and I lost 12 pounds and I am so happy, I am due to go back some time this week but the issue is getting the appointment now is it me or is everyone sick these days. at my doctors clinic it feels like you have to book weeks in advance to be seen....

so I started walking today I dusted of my trainers and went for it I was told to do at least 20 minutes to start of with and then over the weeks to follow increase the time slowly, I managed to do 30 minutes and I feel good for it.

Until tomorrow..............

Yes

I am still alive and well, just busy I know I have been a bad blogger. but I really think this is a matter of habit. From Monday I challenge my self to post every day for a week and maybe I will get into it more, even if I' m only rambling on I want to make the effort. I finally have a website up for the business.
