I just can't believe Christmas is almost here, and once again I haven't even started
my shopping yet.
I don't know about you, but every year I say that I will start doing some shopping
here and there throughout the year and by the time August or September arrives,
I'll have all my Christmas presents stashed throughout the house.
In my dreams!
I have been doing a couple of online courses which has been taking up a lot of
my time, which doesn't leave much time for creating. :(
Unfortunately I wouldn't be doing many sales for the season because lack of products.
I do miss sitting down and creating something, anything, because while I am sewing or
felting, or even making some jewelery pieces, I find it so relaxing and not just for my
body, but for my mind too.
I am going to try and set aside some time this weekend to get my creative juices flowing.
ALL my electronics are in some way or another having problems. :) My computer is slowly
dieing, my sewing machine needs a tune up. Mind you, I do enjoy sewing by hand, but
when I make my fun pillows it's very time consuming to sew by hand, and that's why I
only have two in my shop right now.
It doesn't help when I just about get finished making another one and one of my friends
want to buy it, so it never makes it to my shop.
I will try hard to get another one completed to get into the shop before the holidays and to
make sure there is enough time to get one shipped out before Christmas.
I must say, the kids that do have one already seem to really enjoy them, and that is why
I continue to make them. The pictures don't do them justice, and the sewing is very solid
and strong.
I do my better sewing by hand because it is more stronger and is a smaller stitch.

Well, I have to go take my sweetie out for a walk and then maybe I can get a little
R&R so that I'll be energized for the weekend.
