Well over the past few months I have come across quite a few blogs from crafty mums out there and am just blown away by how much they do as well as look after a home and family.
Since I had Tyler I dropped off the art world a little bit. Sure I had a few cool contract jobs here and there and even exhibited a few times, but i felt creatively in a little slump.
I haaate feeling like that. Trying to manage time with a toddler is challenging. My week seems to comprise of getting out of the house around 9ish to various toddler activities, come home for stories then nap. Nap time usually goes well, however I am guilty of just veging out in that time. I feel bad that I am not more productive, but to be honest, after the mornings wheelings and dealings, i then have lunch and a cuppa tea (if i’m lucky, something sweet to go with) – who can be faffed working or creating? Well I am going to start being more pro-active. Instead of sitting on the net looking at everyone elses amazing escapades in art, craft and family life, i’m going to be pulling my finger out!
January seems to be a time of year where everyone reflects back on the last year and sets the goals for the next… I haven’t got that far and now it’s Feb already! YIKES! I better get a move on. My friend Ab calls this time of year the January Depression, and while I am not depressed I think the heat just got to me… OOH and being 5 months preggers again might have something to do with it!
Bring on Autumn and Winter! I can’t wait to wear some cute cardigans!
Here is the fam, a rare one of all of us, taken at xmas time… i love it! ![]()
