Hard Week

This week has been really hard - stroppy toddler, the realisation that the scanner I had planned to use for my new range of cards doesn't have the driver disk with it, and my Internet connection is too slow to download it, stroppy partner, realising I have put on nearly 6 pounds over three weeks, stroppy Mummy.

So I'm trying to resolve each problem one at a time. Stroppy toddler is having more creative play and fun activities. I'm trying to schedule a post about a nature walk we went on for this weekend, and we went to the Natural History Museum again to look at dinosaurs, plus lots of arty fun things at home. I love how is developing this fun little personality, he has a favourite song (lollipop, lollipop, ooohh lolli-lolli-lolli-lollipop!) and can't wait to spend more time with him now I'm not working.

I've come down to my favourite cafe to use their free wifi. I love this cafe because they are the kind of people who will run over to the shop when they run out of butter for your crossiant (that just happened!) and they don't mind me plugging my laptop into their power supply!

Some things I hope to have done by the end of the week;

• Finished my Christmas items ready for submitting to various gift guides. I've been working really hard in the evenings making bracelets and earrings for a fun idea I have had for giving a sweet little Christmas Gift. I'll have photos to show you by the weekend!
• Written up my tips for taking your stroppy toddler on a fun nature walk and uploaded photos of Ramsey having a great time doing it.
• Ordered the first run of prints of my brand new mixed-media cards, the prints are just the start *secretive* I'm so excited about this project I have been working on it since the summer and as soon as this driver is installed I can get scanning!

I hope you are having a beautiful day x
