Festive Ornament Swap

Life has been chaotic for most of us recently, so it's taken a while to get photos of everyone's ornament. I'm finally there though!

This year we had 9 participants, and an awful lot of thought went into all of these, so well done to all our creators and thank you for everyone who joined in and had fun.

I made these for Donna, of Twin Mountain Pottery

Donna made these for Claire (Miss Wright Designs)

Claire made these for me (Bluebellglen)

Kate made this for Naomi (Historika)

Naomi made this for Nickole (Hard Love Apparel)

Nickole made this for Sheshanna (Piece Unique)

Sheshanna made this for Susan (Strum and Sparkle)

Susan made this for Kristen (Simple Whimsy)

And finally, Kristen made this for Kate (KatesCottage)

Welcome to my Workroom

Welcome to our new team feature, showing our individual workspaces and how we organise them.

 

Some of us are lucky enough to have a dedicated space, whilst others manage to fit in where they can. Our featured artist this time is Kate, of KatesCottageShop and Larkspurandlinen. She's recently re-worked her space and this is the very pretty result! Lets have a look at how she organised it.

 

 

Here are the photos of my Etsy supplies workspace re-do. :) I have such a small space, I still craft at my kitchen table, but here are the photos of before, building the shelving, filling it all up, and moving the computer desk over in the same space {this is where I do all my Etsy computer work, as well as it being our home computer}.

 

  

 

 

 

If you are a member of the Positivity Team on Etsy and would like to have your workspace featured, please let us know. Convo Bluebell Glen via Etsy for more information.

Monday thought

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Monday again. Where has the weekend gone? 

Well, my weekend has been busy and yet peaceful. I did some baking and crafting and had some quiet time alone to recharge my batteries. Today I'm changing the way I think and therefore feel about Monday. Instead of regretting that the weekend is over, I'm looking forward to the next few days. The sun is shining, there's an autumnal snap in the air and I'm working on a number of interesting projects this week. Why mourn the ending of the weekend (which is pretty much the same as any other days really, when you're self employed) when the week ahead is brimful of possibilities and opportunities?

I can't change the day, but I CAN change my attitude to it.

Have a good one
