more goodies!
this week has been a goodie filled week, yay!
these lovelies are from Laura, aka Lupin/Bugs & Fishes, I was her 2300th sale on Etsy, what a number! So I got a few more little goodies to play with : )
Getting these are helped with my ideas of things I can do at craft fairs and on my Etsy shop, of offering little felting kits. While I did Open Studios this year, it was something that I really wished I could have offered, as I think I would have sold quite a few! So this is something to add to the list, another thing!
Currently listening to Mariachi El Bronx, we saw them at ATP in May, and they were great, and for some reason it had a really profound effect on me, we were right at the front, and it was a great experience.
In a weird way it made me appreciate what I have with John, and being there with him and without the boys was a fantastic experience, and one that I think all couples with children should try to have, that you are first a couple, before a family, and that everyone needs time together. Sometimes that has to be away, my Mum and Dad used to have weekends away, and my Nana would come and look after us, and it was really great. We had a change of scene with Nana, and Mum and Dad had some time for themselves without constantly being bugged by us.
So don’t forget how you came to be a family in the first place!!
and I almost forgot!
Tra-la my pattern is now available to download : )

Felting kits would be a great idea! I’ve always wanted to give it a go and a kit would be a great way of doing it!

Oh yes! Dirty weekends, just the two of us! We try and have at least one proper one a year…. this year was Bath, but we’ve made it as far as Barcelona. It really helps you remember why you loved the guy in the first place. Glad you enjoyed yours.

How wonderful a weekend would be. We did a parenting course who said this should be compulsory and that it is possible if you really want it – however they refused to accept the wonder of doting grandparents doesn’t exist for us. None of the grandparents are capable or willing to take on such a task. And we haven’t been able to find anyone who’s willing to look after both boys (the little one is considered a ‘handful’). I find this topic really cuts to my core as I am envious of those who can. But I don’t begrudge….. so thanks be for willing babysitters!
