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.

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.

It's

My Birthday, Happy Birthday to me!!!!!

Time to update

I have been going to business workshops, meeting with my personal business adviser and just doing the research to complete the plan. which is so time or rather life consuming.

It was my sister's birthday on saturday.... so a BIG SHOUT OUT to my sister DIONNE HAPPY 30TH and it's mine tomorrow I will be 32 where does the time go, one mintue you are 16 wanting to grow up and then you find your self in you thrities..

this is my birthday cake jamaican style

as my birthday approaches I always get in a reflective mood and I start to look back to see if I have achived the goals I have set for my self, and to look at where I am going because I believe there is always room for improvement. I want to live the good life now not wait until am 50. early december a friend died who was in her early forties and it had such a big impact on me I think I went into shock because she had so much to live for and now it all over, life is so short so I have promised myself to do what makes me happy. I have nothing to prove to anyone but God.

Knitting

one year ago I decided to learn to knit, my progress has been very slow I haven't made a complete garment yet, But I have started making little sample square in order to learn different stitches.

Don't laugh....I used cocktail sticks to hold down the corners. if their are any knitters out there I could do with some help......... have a good Tueday
