I'm back... miss me?

Wow, where does the time go, and boy does life twist and turn how you least expect it!  I made the sad decision to close down my craft business, and whilst it was hard to let it go, it's a huge weight off my shoulders, and allowing me to focus on catching up to myself, and spending time with my little angels!

It's nice having time to just sit and do absolutely nothing in the evenings now... although it does let you sit and think rather a lot, which isn't always good.  I've had a lot of time to reflect on my past year, and it's not feeling so good!

Time for some therapy then, and just as the Dr ordered, Sat saw the Thorpe Marriot crop.  It was pretty quiet, but that didn't stop us nattering away.  I even got scissors to paper and started a DOUBLE LO... very very unlike me, but I loved this piccie of the kiddlywinks when we had a weekend together at the end of May I wanted it printed BIG.  Bought some new Bo-Bunny from the lovely Sam at Craft Island which was just perfect for these fun filled piccies.

I opened three new packs of Thickers for this that had been laying about for aaaages, so I'm pleased with myself for finally deciding to start using 'stuff' up!  I picked up this natural raffia ages ago in a shop somewhere, and it was just what I wanted to make my banner and accent the bottom of the page.

It's ages since I've done a DLO, I'm so used to singles all the time.  Got some ambitious projects in my head, just hope I can get them relayed down!  My friend just had a baby boy, so I want to make her something special that she won't get from anyone else.  

More than anything, I just want to get back to enjoying creating for me, and because I want to, not because I have to and not for a deadline... just as my therapy

Hope you'll pop back soon, I promise not to be AWOL so long next time!
