Now the harsh reality of Christmas and Craft gallery commitments, and credit card repayments before interest comes into it have hit and I am an ant.
Too Late!
I am trying to do everything at once.
However I feel renewed after my hospital experience on Monday which yielded fascinating results.
I wish I could share.
I wish I'd had my camera.
It would definitely have made Explore front page on flickr.
Give your imagination free reign here.
Despite the fact that I began my life in blogland with some posts in which I made 200 pieces of silk paper, I find I still need more. For some reason I only have pink and blue left.
At the same time I am trying out some 'quick' things for etsy.
Fabric Gift tags.
Maybe 5 for three pounds, or six dollars.
I'm putting 'To' and 'From' and 'With Love' on the paper part. This is a prototype.
What do you think?
I am also working on these green knobs with the aid of an anglepoise lamp I am hoping they will become sufficiently open to arrange in church for a wedding on saturday.
There's a glimmer of hope.

It's great to know that someone else is having to be an 'ant' after a summer of 'messing about'!!! Why do we do it? Because that's what makes us fun to be around! You're a long time dead, as they say...
I'm still messing about... If I wasn't i wouldn't be reading this :o).
Love the tags btw
The tags are great and the price seems about right although you may be able to get a bit more for them. I'm no expert though!
The tags are lovely and I'd shove the lilies in the airing cupboard (not that I have one but it was my Mum's cure all for anything that needed warming up)! It is quite sunny out there though, maybe a window will work too?

I love the golds and greens. Perfect fall colors. Those tags are a great idea and I agree you may be able to get a bit more.
I love your gift tags, great idea.x
I think most creative people day dream, mess about and then go mad trying to get all those boring jobs done! well I do!
Ha! I'm being a demented ant yet still procrastinating and messing about with blogs! Like the gift tags.
Those tags are lovely. And I never seem to stop messing about in time to do anything useful these days!
Tags are great and I think they will sell...my gut reaction is to machine stitch around the base fabric to frame the heart and paper. Also a eyelet for the hole...for what it's worth!
Good luck with the floral arrangements on Saturday.
Truly love your sense of humor!!!! Am feeling a bit reformed grasshopper myself!
Your tags are wonderful!
I'm afraid once I get on the computer, there is no end to my 'messing around' *blush*. I don't mean it to happen, it just does.
Love those tags! x
Not just me then, panicking about the Christmas deadlines?
unfortunately for me that means the end of October!
Hope you have a little more time.
I LOVE the gift tags, and your cute little doggies from the previous post :) I too wasted a lot of time and soon have an exhibition coming up and nothing to put in it!!! I'm a BAD girl!

I am playing catch up, too! Only problem is, it's so beautiful here now, all I want to really do is be outside with Edward!
I do love your tags!!
Tags go-o-o-d Lillys....gorgeous. Silk paper yummy.....mucking around and letting things take their time....priceless! x
well, not to worry about explore, who knows how they pick photos..
I do know what you mean about upcoming holiday events, I've been scheduled for 3, and I'm worried about all of them. Once fall comes, I just want to read, eat and sleep..:-)
Love the silk paper...the tag looks great too -- I'd put an eyelet around that hole to make it look cleaner. Just a thought.
The gift tags are a great idea and look so lovely too. As for the silk paper it's making my mouth drool.
As ever I'm wondering why I don't live near you - you're work is so inspiring.
