Art Class

Well today I ventured to my first art class since I left school over 20 years ago. I really loved it. Complete selfish adult time. Here is a pic of my creation. I know nothing special. but it is to me :








Cannot wait to show the kiddiwinks later! They found it highly amusing that Mummy was off to art class.

Take care

Last day of Blogtoberfest and other challenges

Well I did it, yay!!!
Blogged everyday throughout October for the Blogtoberfest challenge.
Listed an item a day in my Etsy shop for the Crafty Folk daily listing challenge.
Sold 10 items (target was 5) in my Etsy shop for Apron Thrift Girl Resellers challenge.

Really pleased with myself, all the team members of Crafty Folk and other bloggers who have helped me along the way.

Well normal blogging will now resume, but I am joining the Crafty Folk daily listing team for November as it has proved to be very successful.

Hope all are well.

Think the lurgy has gone

Well my little girl is a lot better, so alls good for this half-term week, yay. Its her birthday this week too, so we are looking forward to having the family around. Especially as we all now live much closer together:). So my thoughts are turning to party food. Emily doesn't mind as long as there are little sausages and strawberries!! The strawberries will be her cake (in the form of a strawberry mountain) complete with candles as she doesn't like real cake. I know how can you not like cake lol. So off to make another list, yes I'm obsessed with lists.

Catch you all later.

Facebook

Hi everyone, well I've finally got around to setting up a Facebook page for my Etsy shop mish73. Yay for me lol. Would love it if you could increase my fans (at the moment its just little old me as the one and only fan). Think my blog updates are getting shorter and shorter as the month of October goes on!!

Mmmm wonder what I can rabble on about tomorrow!!

Thanks for your help

ATG's Resellers Listing Challenge - Week 3

Well I am one happy bunny. Still on target with listing every day of October, yay. But, the best bit is that I have exceeded my sales target of 5 for the whole of October. My sales so far this month are 8. I am so pleased :).

I think a number of factors are involved in my selling success. The main one being part of the Crafty Folk team on Etsy. As part of the daily listing challenge we promote each other daily(in which ever way suits us best), hence more exposure for my little shop resulting in the increase in sales!! So a big big thank you to my team mates for all their hard work.

From a much happier Michelle xx

Saturday - Proud

So proud of my son. Six weeks at his new school and yesterday he received 2 awards in assembly. Pupil of the Week and Handwriting Award. So pleased for him. He cannot stop smiling and neither can I. Not sure his little sis was as pleased lol.

Sorry for the gushing Mum post but its been such a big deal for both the kids starting a new school in a different part of the country (Lincoln to Durham). I should remember my kids will always stop me feeling glum. What a difference a couple of days make in my mood.

Friday and still going just

Just when I was feeling all bleurgh this week (can't pinpoint why) a lovely lady made 3 purchases in my little Etsy shop yesterday. Which perked me up no end. So a big thank you to Dawn :). Plus another sale came in from Denmark!

Perhaps its the weather, the constant drizzle and lack of proper daylight! Don't know really. But the sales have given me the smile I needed. To keep hold of this I thought I would sign up for the School Christmas Fair and make some handmade goodies. Need some pennies for the Santa Fund. This will hopefully give me the kick up the backside I need to get my mojo going. I know some will think this is pressure I perhaps don't need, but for me I believe it will help.

What do you find helps you when feeling BLEURGH?
