nunde new year

While some of my kids are still too young to  understand  the meaning of  "Stop yelling, screaming and chasing each other with pointy objects while mum is working" I take the full 6 weeks off from anything nunde. Well, that 6 weeks is up and
today is the first day of the nunde year. I had so much fun this holiday. Giving up my volunteer work was the best thing ever and because I felt such a freedom I have decided to rethink the market position too. I really want to focus on my goals this year and I have decided to devote 100 percent of my time to my business to give it a fighting chance. I really cant multitask like you clever chicks, and that's cool, I just need to focus like a laser beam on one task.

So I started on a few personal projects. You have already seen the lanyard for my keys, well here is my hawt hessian phone sock with matching lanyard. Simple things yes but these bright lanyards have helped me no end. I never really wear them round my neck though. It is so that I can find the things that ALWAYS get lost. With those 2 time saving projects out the way, I start the year with great enthusiasm. Hope to impress/amuse/interest you this year. Lets get started!!
Cheers
Melanie

Saturdays are for....

Perfecting homemade Light studios in preparation for 100's of stock photos to be taken. Best toot ever on this is from here

Pondering, once again, on how to refashion this kids jumper from the Op shop. OK, now Im thinking lap top bag and matching phone sock.

Turning gross lanyard with texta all over it (Thanks master nunde)

into new lanyard. Fantastic, now I can find my keys again.

Hey this will match my cool, really bright laptop bag and phone sock!

And finally Saturday is for eating Bounty Chocolate Tartlets that miss nunde whipped up. Will provide recipe when I pry it from her greedy recipe hogging hands.

2 things I noted today. 1. Light studio works great as you can see with the pic of the kids jumper 2. Sewing machine lights need to be daylight bulbs, not the warm globes. Those globes are a killer on your eyes if you spend hours sewing. I now have a clip on daylight globe lamp to fix that.

Have a good one guys

Cheers
