Starting a new journey

I have decided this year I am going to be more creative. I am going to let my inspiration lead me. I am going to live life to the fullest and express myself thru my art. I am so excited to see where the creative process will lead me.

I have so many people tell me I should sell my creations but I am still so unsure. Creating and selling are two very different experiences. I guess to really enjoy your business you need to make things you love, but whether people buy it is another thing entirely.


I need to find a way to fund my craft and a purpose in creating. I have started enquiring about local markets and building my stock levels. I am nervous. I am so inexperienced at all this. I guess in a few months time I will be more sure of my direction, but now it is the journey to find my destination. 

Quiet Mornings

Listening to my husbands alarm going off, he scoots from our bed and I try to pretend it's not morning yet. He collects our baby girl from the cot where she is chattering away and tucks her in bed next to me. I open an eye and she giggles at me. It's like she knows it's early and I don't want to get out of bed. I hoped she would snuggle and fall back asleep but alas, it's time for chatting and blowing raspberries. I give her a cuddle and slip her back in the cot with a scrunchy sounding butterfly toy while I get her milk ready, rub the sleep from my eyes and kiss my husband before he leaves for work. Time to start another day!
