Orders v. sick kids

Well I'm meant to be making 2 monkeys and a cat today - what am I doing instead?? Took 1 daughter to the Docs as she had a lump behind her ear - turned out to be a swollen gland due to her having scratched a hole in her head. Then just as I had dropped her off at nursery and rushed back to town to have lunch with my Mum and Uncle (down on a rare trip from Scotland) I got the dreaded call from school "I'm sorry Mrs Maudsley but your daughter appears to have transformed into a vomit fountain in the playground. Please collect her ASAP!!!" (or words to that effect anyway)
SO now I have to wait for their Dad to come and collect the vomit comet as they are due to be at his house tonight. I WILL get back to the orders.............

Full time craftiness!!

So I quit my job and decided that staying home and sewing would be much more fun! And so far it is.....just need to earn some pennies too!!!
Since I became a full time crafty person I've made 12 sockosaurus and 6 cats, which is great as long as someone actually buys them.
I also got invited to join an amazing group of artisans called The Artisan Group. They supply handmade goodie bags to famous type people at awards ceremonies in the USA. As a result, my business cards will be distributed in bags at the 2012 Academy Awards!! Which isn't bad progress for 2 days of craftiness....
Saturday brings my first instore demo session at Hobbycraft on Preston's Deepdale Retail Park. I'll be sat sewing, showing folk how to make my sock creations - just hope they don't catch on too fast! I'll also be selling my creations so hopefully some pennies will be made.

Here are some piccies of the fruits of my first 2 days labour.............
