These days more than ever I need something to ease anxieties... 

I have thought about restarting my writing here more times than words in this post. I have been procrastinating so much that I am 100% pro at it! It is not really a reason to be proud...

There is one thing that helps me, knowing that I am not alone in this maze of manic thoughts marathon... Third lockdown is shit!

However there is no bad without good.

When I look back, last year has been good to us. We are one year in OUR home. Have done so much to be warm and comfortable.  

Some might think I have done all house but its only one room and hallway that is 99% complete. I plan and do it all by myself with help of my husband for heavy stuff and extra dirty parts, like tiling. 

I am the one sitting on the hooole while my husband works all the way through this covid saga. 

I have been so lucky to be able to source materials and bits and bobs online and at most part in local stores. I would love to get everything locally but in Ireland that is IMPOSSIBLE. And that is very very sad!  

On this totally miserable day when there is NOTHING else to do other than cuddle up in the bed with laptop and attempt another post possibly. 

Before I give up my glue gun and decorative egg stash I wanted to try lightbox for better photos and take a few repeat product photos.

Finished two Easter wreaths for Etsy shop. 

"The happy couple" and "Bunny abundance". That's how I named them. Don't laugh :)))

Go and check them out on Etsy! And drop me a line which one you like more.

As I am making and selling crafts myself I often think how to wrap them nicely.

That's one thing. But how to wrap them that they will reach customer safe and not damaged.

In some ways packaging my makes  stresses me out every time. I know I think too much what others will think.
In one way I want to be friendly to our mother Earth and on another side I care that my pieces will no break in transit. 

Form me it's brown paper, cotton string, carton box modified by me to suit the piece: that is how far I can try to be nice to planet.

Sadly I have to use packing tape to keep all of it together and a good bit of bubble wrap. And few, just few artificial flowers to beautify my package.

If to be serious I think this outlook to be more gentle to environment will come only with generations and more education on issue, in fact with much better availability of recycling, reusing services.

If you have any opinion on rubbish issue I'd love to hear..

​Cherio for now

This year I was thinking to do more photography. I know that my Nikon is good camera and I don't put much effort in leaning new tricks. I just use my vision of how I want to see the thing and I bet there are millions of tricks / skills I could learn with my camera.

Another thing I want to keep up with is cement planters. I have grown about 30 cactuses and a bunch of succulents. I have made 8 planters at the moment but I have some ideas (as always) to make other décor bits as well. But I have to keep them small. I'm running out of space in my house and patience as well. I feel too cluttered. 

oou and yea, I got to start on that wedding car décor for my friend. I'm thinking tins and flowers and all that "just married" malarkey :) I think it would work out very nice. I bought a bulk of paints. And I have plywood bits. All I need is get up from sofa and do some shit!
