Buttons, buttons and more buttons

i've had lots of fun this week surfing all the lovely craft websites i buy supplies from ... and today my lovely new buttons arrived ...

a good day ....

after yesterday's heart disaster i decided to forget about them (for today at least) and concentrate on stocking back up on wonkies.

so off i went - marking, cutting and sewing away quite happily (see pic for the results), listening to the music of my choice in my favourite room in the house ...

... and then i had an idea of how to use the lace hearts. they'll be nothing like i intended them to be but sometimes the best things happen that way ...

Oops ...

... disaster! My beautiful lace hanging hearts have all drooped. Back to the drawing board ...

getting organised ...

i've got lots of ideas in my head, and some half in production but finding a solid day to sit down and make has so far been elusive. 

so i've decided i'm going to be very boring and work out a schedule of what exactly I need to do with my days ... and then try and stick to it.  hopefully this way I'll find the time I need to blog, connect with people of facebook and on other places, keep the house tidy, take the kids to all their various activities and actually still have sensible amounts of time to sit and create. 

well that's the plan ayway ...

to get things straight

ok, so this is my new blog as opposed to the old blog (just with a slightly different name and a different e-mail address attached so I can now use my phone app - yippee!).  To anybody who's just found me, I din't normally post this many times in 1 day, I've just copied all my old posts across for myself as much as anybody else.  To anyone who's followed me across - thankyou!!  Normal serice will now be resumed (although will less technical moaning).  x

more phone problems

so I'm thinking I might have to start a new blog and stop this one to get the app working on my phone. All the problems are really boring so I won't go into them but at the moment this seems to be the only thing I can do. I'll keep you posted x

a few hours later ...

... and the positivity lasted! Don't know what I did differently today, but the things I did on my website actually worked!! Enthusiastic use of exclamation marks I know but after yesterday's debacle I feel they are wholly deserved. I'm still not ready to share the website yet but give it another few days (or weeks) and I might just be there.

I'm going to peel myself off the computer now, and go and have some lunch before I pack my order up.

Happy days.
