A week of sorting

Sorting? a week? well not quite. I have been wanting to sort my stock for some time but craft and life just gets in the way, well I got in the way. The thought of trawling through oodles of stock, checking price tags and listing was daunting to say the least and I love to create but took the plunge on Saturday and have 2 boxes full of lovely goodies all easy to find. Have another 3 boxes to fill and think I will need to buy some more bit have made a start! Have got to buy some proper numbers next week.


Thought I deserved a break from all the hard work and having received some new fabric through the post on Saturday and it was just sitting and calling to be made into what? as lavender print thought sachets:


Strawberry sachets from fabric in my stash


These items have been priced and stock listed already, just hope this new super organised me continues and putting old, old stock on ebay next weekend as think another free listing is due.

Last week my blog was selected by Popular Crafts Magazine section Word on the Web, very proud and feel privileged that out of all the wonderful blogs out there mine was selected.

  9. Congratulations! Wonderful. :) And sorting, it must be that time of year. We worked on the attic (sad news, rats got into some of my stuff, I don't want to talk or think about it, FL is just a bad place to store things between the horrid creatures and the dampness.) and then, while finally rearranging my back room to make my craft room really usable space, I discovered a roof leak! This has not been a good weekend. Phooey.
