Snow Day!

For the first time in the 9 years I've been at my job we were closed for a snow day!

 The snow and wind couldn't stop the birds from feeding.

Or the squirrel from digging.

 And I had time to take pictures!

This cardinal was elusive most of the day - I caught him here just before the sun went down.

Weekend Goodness

1.  Downton Abbey, Series 3 premiere!

2.  Scones with Devon cream and jam.

3.  Sunshine during non-working hours.

4.  Starting new projects.

5.   Girls' night out.

New Year

I spent New Year's Eve with family and good friends playing games and trying to stay up till midnight (we made it - just!)  Now I'm excited for a new year with new plans and goals!  I'm sitting down tonight to work on Susannah Conway's 2013 Workbook.  Maybe I was supposed to do that before January 1?  I don't know, I just saw it yesterday so better late then never!

Show Review

The show this weekend was great! The ladies at Creative Spark did a great job promoting the show and there was a great turnout considering it's the show's first year!

I had lots of encouraging comments on my work and enjoyed chatting to other craft-minded people in the community.

Sales-wise I was happy.  This being my third show I'm still a little unsure what to expect sales wise and always breathe a sigh of relief once I've made my booth fee back.

I went with a similar look to what I've had before but added a new shelf which is great for adding height to the display, and also a bunch of branches to hang my felt stars from.

Huge thanks to all who came out and supported the show and fingers crossed it runs again in 2013!
