Handmade Monday No. 93

Cannot believe only 36 days until Christmas where has the time gone, seems like only 5 minutes ago taking down the decorations and packing away for another year and now here we are with them going back up in 2 weeks, yes we do put ours up early and make a festive day of it. Think as you get older it is so important to make events of special days, when younger we just seem to go with the flow not realising that life is so short and speeds past plus am sure that journey gets quicker the older I get.

Makes this week, back recovered enough for me to complete another two teddy bear pocket bags, due to a family crisis having to fit sewing in around this.



Lee (DH) suddenly informs me his friends Birthday on the 20th eek! I really must diary these on for myself then will have more time but card done for a fishing fanatic:




The business front is certainly on a roll at Ocala Towers and long may it continue, think for me having read and digested Dixies Juicy Customer segment so many times now know the sort of clientele I want and local church halls is just not cutting it. Have a few juried events planned for next year and have to submit applications by end of February, guess what I will be doing after the festivities have faded to a blur.

  6. I've been reading Dixie's post too and will be giving January over to lots of thinking.
    Wish you hadn't told me how close Christmas is - on the personal front I have done precisely nothing yet!

  10. I'm with you of making a festive day of putting the decorations up. Can't wait to get the tree up- especially as it means I can get wrapping the presents and putting them on display too!
