Hi All
I'm back. I've not drifted off into cyberspace or got fed up with my blog or anything - I love blogging - writing my own and reading everyone else's little slices of life. Rather, it's been challenging times. Some stuff quite frankly I could have done without (is it just me or are emotional crises more draining as you get older) and some stuff so exciting I've done well not to burst at times! Life as a rollercoaster in all its colours and hues. And I've been from inky black to zingy pink and back over the past few weeks.
But let's concentrate on the good. Smiley face. Big drum roll...... On September 1st I'm launching a little sideline company I've been working on in my spare time called "The Cat's Pajamas". I hasten to tell you that this is not a burlesque troop as I've been asked, but a very respectable (ha ha - as Janet would say) events company. Although my friends at Running with Scissors did volunteer to join if it was a burlesque troop and Tracey does have some tassels in stock I believe. Calendar girls eat your hearts out!!! I'm setting the thing up on a shoe string - or should I say a tassel! My daughter Alice has fashioned me a web site (thank you Alice!), I've got an email address and it's all coming together. So exciting. Hope you'll all keep your fingers and tassels xd that I get a couple of bookings! If you get a minute check out my site http://www.catspajamasonline.co.uk/
I've started making a few christmas cards. I saw Lorraine had posted her first one so I thought I'd share a couple of mine. I love The Night Before Christmas poem and have been hankering after the stamp (from Clarity Stamps) for a while. I've not done anything too fancy with the cards (mojo exhausted!) but I'm loving the little mouse asleep in the shoe. My other card uses an Inkadinkadoo stamp that mum bought me last year from Running With Scissors (thanks mum!) and I love it too. He's so easy to paint (always a bonus with Christmas cards!), I like choosing his hat and scarf colours and his twiggy arms are fab!
Back soon with more news and crafting!
Yay!!! It's so lovely to see you back Anne! Gorgeous cards, I love that snowman image, he's brilliant and of course the K&Co paper!! Sorry to hear you've had some downs but great news about your "up"!! I'm sure you're company will be a huge success from what I've seen of your event organising!!! It's my birthday on the 10th, how you fixed?? See you soon hopefully! hugs, Jane xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Jane - you share your birthday with Elsa Schiaperelli the Itaian designer (who is famous for her shoe hat) so I'm thinking a 'hats and handbags' party would be great for you! With of course lots of cupcakes and crafty surprises xxx have a great day whatever you do!
