whats going on in my life ..Carrie Attwood , SleepingElf ..the things I make and sell .Hobbies ..stuff I love
Getting creative ♥️
well , its been " different " since my last post .. i was really looking forward to Christmas .. but Corvid saw us going into tier 4 .. so we had a quiet one although we saw Rosie my daughter , they are expecting their first child febuary
then we went into full lockdown
My house is being sold so i am more than a little worried .. but we have had loads view it this week and an offer put in ... Im keeping my fingers crossed
meanwhile .. im trying somthing new
baby buntings and im really enjoying doing them , i really want to be more creatove this year
well we are coming up to Christmas
Today I have sorted out my Etsy shop ..the only things listed in it now are items instock
this week I will be adding more OOAK amd stock items
for the run up to Christmas i will be doing Free shipping again ..but im afraid in the New Year I shall habe to either increase my prices or add postal charges for international customers
US charges have increased and international ..and of course ever increasing Etsy Fees
so I will have to keep inline
the New Year i really want to be doing more OOAK peices ..boots ,dolls , bears and miniatures ,I am really missing being so creative and I hope to be doing some miniature work along sode Paul
Well we are settling into a routine
lockdown is blurring from one day to another , we are walking a lot , but the last couple of days weather has been so bad we havent walked but we have got a lot done on our respective projects
Pauls getting to grips with the laythe and at last Ive made the wig and outfit fr a Mina that Ive always wanted to .. only problem is i had to learn to crochet before I could make it lol
shes perfect ... Im gutted tho , the amazing eyes , I have in her , I cant get anymore , the seller has gone off Etsy
this little girl is OOAK and she will be available in my Etsy store in a few days ♥
Lockdown 2.0 ..happy birthday
i felt a little stressed coming up to lockdown ..I hate the feeling of not knowing , I had dashed to Halesowen to see my daughter ..Id seen my son the weekend before ..checked Mom and Dad are ok , driving home my tensions started to ease ..
We had to get groceries Monday and you know ...everything was fine ..no paic buying , a few more people than i was expecting , but nothing like the news were reporting
...my birthday meal was cancelled ,
but thats Ok ..I planned chocolate and cappuchion , binge watchimg Eureka
We drove to our local garden center , to collect our meat ..its was lovely ! , empty , we browsed the center and Paul bought me some beautiful decorations for the christmas tree ..
Which i plan to out up early ..
