where are they?
oh yes, where are all those bags I put in the shop, well they’ve almost all gone, and so have many others! I have had a totally bumper week on Etsy this week, so much so that today I’m planning my next ones, when I should actually be doing something else instead!
Since last Wednesday I’ve been on the front page of Etsy three times! And I’ve sold 12 bags, this has rather caught me out, this week I was meant to do all the things that had been waiting to be done, including tidying the house, done my sewing room : ) And I have done more, but you know how things go.
This is the image that we get through our front door on a lovely sunny evening, and we have had a few this week, but it also visually shows how my brain is at the moment!
This is the first week I have had ‘alone’ in the house for 8 years, as John is now working out of the house! That may not seem like a great deal, but is certainly a big change for all of us, especially John, and I think it is really very hard for him, a total change.
This is really a quick post to say ‘hello’ and thank you for all the lovely comments left both on here and Flickr, and I’m being busy, and I have stuff going on, which I hope to show soon, etc etc, maybe something later : )
Bye!

I can so relate to how odd it feels to have one’s husband suddenly out of the house. Up until a couple of years ago Ian worked from home. I miss his coffee breaks, the fact that I could dress late as there was someone else there to answer the door to the postman, and just the sense of him being around…but actually, lots of things are better about him working out of the house – he is much happier (although I don’t think he’d ever thought of himself as being unhappy) for getting out of the house each day and being in contact with so many more people, and for me it is lovely not to see him as part of the furniture. Often I would go and say goodbye to him sat in his chair at his desk and then come back hours later to find him unchanged in the same position…there was something about this that I found depressing – I hated that my lovely, lively, and normally animated man had become so melded to a large office chair in my head. I’m sure that you will find some positives…even though I know myself it takes a lot of getting used to. x
