The start of the holidays

So here we are at the beginning of the summer holidays. 6 weeks of trying to entertain 5 children and working on my products. As you can imagine our household is a bit manic, but that's the life i chose and i wouldn't change a thing. I might change the arguments when one of my darling daughters fights with her sister because she said she could borrow that top last week but not this week. Each one of my daughters have completely different personalities so trying to amuse them all at the same time and a baby boy (6 months old) is very interesting. Saturday we decided to go to the cinema which again was an interesting scenario because they all had different ideas of what to go and watch. Eventually we decided on the new shrek (which i admit was a good choice. But that was a one off treat. We spent a fortune on just watching the film (that doesn't include eats). Sunday was a lazy day, we just hung around the house, garden and my older ones, computer. Today is a new week and i am considering setting up the tent in the garden so they can play holidays.
Back to work for now but will speak soon.

Prom

Ok so its been a while and for that i'm sorry. I have had a manic few weeks, first i had quite a few orders to sort out then my eldest daughters Prom to finish. So as you can imagin last week was very hectic. My eldest finally finished school so we completed her prom dress to wear last wednesday then fortunatly because she was in the school band she was able to wear her dress again on the thursday night. It was a very emotional week and my baby is no longer a baby anymore. So here is a picture of her in the prom dress. Its my daughters design (off to college to take fashion) and I made it.Lots of sweat and tears went into making the dress.
Today i had sports day and with the lovely british summer it rained. Today was the juniors turn, monday was the infants. My youngest came 2nd in the egg and spoon race and my older daughter came 2nd in the running race. My other daughter is having her sports day ar high school but us oldies are not allowed to watch. I love sports day but its amazing to see how many mums and dads are soooooo competitive. I am now nursing a headache from all the shouting. Its quite funny to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway enough for now so take care and lots of love

A Busy Week

Wow what a busy week last week was. I did research, orders, normal household duties and made a prom dress. .My oldest daughter has her prom tomorrow night so me being me decided to save money and make it. I must admit now it is finished it looks fab and after tomorrow night I will post pictures. I also spent some of the week trying to develop our range so watch this space. I decided it was about time I entered the modern world so invested in a blackberry.This is my first blog on my phone so here's hoping it works ok. Any way short but sweet I will blog again very soon. Lots of Love

That monday feeling!!!!

What a fantastic monday it is. Usually the monday blues sets in but for us this week it is a completely different story. I started the day with a lovely brisk stroll through the village where i live. The sun was shinning, birds were singing and the weather was warm. With my meditation music on i pondered the week ahead. Once i got back home i set to work on my website (its a big job). I came across a notice for a chance to win a free listing on a new sister website to thisladyloves.com. I applied and won!!!!! So watch out for our advertisment on thiskidloves.com. Next which was the best news for me, the rest of my certification for my skincare products finally came through. This now means i can officially start selling the rest of my products. Everything is finally coming together. Its a fab feeling. Tomorrow i will start taking more pictures so i can publish them. Watch this space...............

School Hols

We are now half way into half term and the children are bored already. We have done crafts, crafts, played with toys been for walks and watched movies but they are still bored. Is there only so much you can do?????
So today i have decided the children can entertain themselves (garden it is then) so i can upload pictures, make more items and chase up certain things i have left this week.
Yesterday was fun, the girls decided to play with clay and make some lovely items. Unfortunatly they will take a very long time to dry, but maybe i have budding art clay designers. The weather looks like it will rain but a little rainwater never hurt anyone so wellies donned and in the garden it is.
Pictures of crafts will follow.
Have a good week

Weekend of fun

Hello all, sorry its been a few weeks since my last entry but i have been mega busy. The weeks have flown by and there is just not enough time in the day to do everything. I spent all last week decluttering my house and work space, what atask i hand that was. I think i must have cleared at least 30 bin bags of recycling and the place now feels more calmer. Saturday, Yesterday and today have been spent so far being creative. I will post the pics later. This week with the children all being off school i have got to try and entertain. My two oldest will carry on with their creative flair but my younger 2 girls get bored very easily so i think a few inspiring days out to the park are in order. Anyone with any ideas please let me know. 
My two oldest have been creating their own jewelley range with polymer and have been hookied from the moment they started (in fact i could'nt get them to stop, even at 9pm)
So anyway, i will take pictures of finished products later and post. As for me i have been working on my make up range of holistic products which is going very well. I am hoping to start some craft fairs in a few weeks so will let you know.
Take care and enjoy whats left of the bank holiday

lots of love

New Venture

The days go by so fast and there is not enough time to do everything. Myself and my eldest daughters have begun making jewellery (although this is not a new venture because I have been making them since i was just a little girl). My daughters are very talented and have a lot of patience. They have fantstic ideas and imagination. They have begun selling their items to school friends who love their designs. I thought i would include a few picture of the ones we are selling. All i need to do now is to start booking craft fairs for the year. We have been concentrating on making our products, updating our blogs and updating the website. Its amazing just how much time this takes. I have lost 3 days by updating on the computer. Need to spend more time on me (teeheee yeah right!!!)
So take a look at the pics and let me know what you think
