Great Day!

I was anticipating a great day in the workshop... lots of ideas and things to do but then I had a phone call. It was from a friend I haven't seen for so very long, well over 15 years! It turns out she has moved just up the road to me and she came for coffee. Not a good day work wise but it was fabulous to see her and we chatted for hours! So long in fact her husband rang to make sure she was ok... she was quick to tell him we had a lot to catch up on!
I do have lots I want to do though, I really must make my wedding stationery portfolio up and I am very excited about doing things towards that. I also have some lovely beads and things that I want to make up into all things pretty so I do have lots to get on with. I think tomorrow will be a 'work day' although not for myself so I won't get anything done then either... time is marching though so I really must apply myself! Time management was never my strongest point though. Oh er, bad girl aren't I?
Tonight I am going to make a start on my card site. It really needs some changes to be made and I think I have finally sorted out what I will do... but then again I might decide I prefer it as it is... time will tell!I do have the site on several computers now though so I can play and then discard if I don't like the final result, thank goodness!
Well it's off to put away the shopping now... great eh?!

Actually got something done!

Not a major item but at least I managed to finish something! Feeling worn out to be truthful... went to bed late and thought I would be able to sleep in... wrong! hubby overslept so I had to get up and make his packed lunch etc.... why is it never my turn to have the bed to myself?

It is cold in the workshop at the mo but plans are afoot to put in proper heating... can't wait for that! I gave up on my laptop as my main work computer there... I don't like Vista at all as my usual programmes and all my files won't work on it. Gave up trying to redo it all and have now put an old computer down there which is ok with them all. Will probably buy myself a new on for the house and put this one back. Shame really as this is a super duper one. Maybe it will be cheaper to buy XP?

I have been checking out online market places. Ebay is just so expensive now that I wonder if it is really viable. MISI is a great one, I have joined a created a shop on there, there are others to which allow you to sell your handmade items. I am hoping that this will be the way forward as Ebay has become so difficult for those of us who are small businesses. Check them out if you craft, it isn't expensive and is a good medium for selling your crafts on. MISI can be found at http://www.misi.co.uk/
