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...
ReplyDeleteI'm still messing about... If I wasn't i wouldn't be reading this :o).
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteI love your gift tags, great idea.x
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThose tags are lovely. And I never seem to stop messing about in time to do anything useful these days!
ReplyDeleteTags 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!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the floral arrangements on Saturday.
Truly love your sense of humor!!!! Am feeling a bit reformed grasshopper myself!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteLove those tags! x
Not just me then, panicking about the Christmas deadlines?
ReplyDeleteunfortunately 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!
ReplyDeleteI do love your tags!!
Tags go-o-o-d Lillys....gorgeous. Silk paper yummy.....mucking around and letting things take their time....priceless! x
ReplyDeletewell, not to worry about explore, who knows how they pick photos..
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe gift tags are a great idea and look so lovely too. As for the silk paper it's making my mouth drool.
ReplyDeleteAs ever I'm wondering why I don't live near you - you're work is so inspiring.
