All Packed up for Market



So tomorrow is market day down at Moss St and I am getting all packed up and ready to go. Today has been a daycare day and I cannot believe how fast it goes. I get quite a lot done, but always hope to have achieved more. Today I had a Cazza photoshoot in the house to try and get some more flags into the store (check them out in my etsy store) - I am amazed at how long these take and my pictures still look pretty crappy - but they are fun to stage and I am getting more and more creative with the sets. I then made 2 little tote bags to take to the market tomorrow - these have been on my permanent list of to dos for a long time - so it was lovely to finally see them in the flesh.

Other news - not sure really - the summer is so busy with stuff. Great stuff - but I do feel like the season is whooshing by. Hubby and I are not getting a lot of time to hang out together as one of us is usually on the run somewhere and I think we need to make the time to see eachother and actually "talk" - somedays it feels like we are barking a bit at eachother "I've got to do this.."can you do that ..bark, bark ..woof..woof". Yesterday I came back from watching "Eat, Pray, Love" with a girlfriend (was much better than I had thought it would be)...only to come home to a load of washing up, laundry to do, laundry to fold, dog puke in 3 separate places and then a crying child".....the zen of the film and a box of smarties waned pretty quickly.

Dog puke was due to my dumb dog eating a whole pack of butter off the counter - seriously - what?!?!?!

Where on earth am I going with this?? I guess sometimes there is such overwhelming guilt at my spending time and money on wallflags, etsy and the market. It takes me away from my wee one, my home responsibilities and really limits the time I get to play with hubby. Deep down I know that I really need this to keep on the straight line - this is so good for my soul and as a friend once said "don't sabotage it now." Anytime I hear that nasty inner voice..you know the one..I have to say to myself out loud "don't sabotage"..because you just do not know where things will lead .... and this is making me happy.

So have a great weekend everyone - wish me luck at Moss St and do come and see us if you are ever in the neighbourhood!! I have to go pick up my little one now - let the games begin!!

  1. YOU HAVE TO do something for yourself, otherwise amazingly you will be less than you want for those around you anyway. Right? So sorry it all turned to crap after the movie for you though. Love the totes, I believe I had a tote on unofficial order?? Wishing you lots of sales tomorrow!
