the view from the old railway line out of Carleton-in-Craven
It's pretty tricky to find time to get on with work during school holidays, mainly due to a lack of time - going for walks and picnics is way more fun (who's spent too much time with a 7 yr old?? like dude!) than sitting at a pc uploading photos for listings; and going to parks and the seaside gobbles up any painting or sewing time that may have been eeked out of a day.
However, I have put my DBD (Ditsy Bird Designs) hat (beak? hahaha) on this week and got plenty done! George has been an absolute star on this matter too - happily entertaining himself with his new loves - Phineas & Ferb on the box whilst Fimo-ing. Happy creative days all round actually, and made more so by the torrential rain we had at the beginning of the week...it was very conducive to hunkering down indoors & 'getting on'.
I am pleased to say that I have ticked off at least one of my Summer goals: Separate my Etsy Ditsy Bird shop into three...
1. for paintings
2. for cards and other stationery type thingies
3. for all things stitched
handpainted & stitched handbag - destined to adorn glossy tresses in the near future
So I now have three Etsy stores:
Ditsy Bird ( the original has been kept for my canvases coz, well, that's where it all started)
Ditsy Bird Draws (for my cards)
Ditsy Bird Sews (well, that one's a bit Ronseal really ;) )
heavily beaded Peacock Eye brooch AND hair clip...oh yeah!
It's been a welcome break from the endless butty making and packing up raincoats AND sunscreen...coz you just never know do you!?!?
there were so many of these on our railway walk
Each shop has been shown a little love too, including new canvas designs for Ditsy Bird
So there it is - a big fat TICK for the "sort out Etsy shop - too crammed!!!" to do :)
How's your Summer to do list fairing? Is it a little like mine where I'm having to add things not originally on it, just so I may tick them off? ;)
Hope you are having fun, whatever the weather and whatever you are up to
