Lockdown 3.0

I think its telling on everyone now , it feels like forever since things were normal im working on my workroom gettkng it sorted , Ive worked alone for 30 years , im finding it hard to ajust to Paul being by my now .. i want a space again , so workroom is being de cluttered and rearranged , more space and storage is needed I feel like Im holding my breath before somthing happens lol We took a walk yesterday up to Upton House ... cleared the cobwebs away

Enjoying making miniatures now

Paul finished my house befpre Christmas and im enjpyimg makimg again

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 ♥
