Almost Week 3 - studio update

Hello!

I have been a very busy bee this week (hurrah for time off work... if I were able to find the money to quit my job entirely, that would make me a very happy bee as well)!

Anywho, on to business:

3. make the hot air balloons which I have now finished designing

4. finish painting the butterdish

5. continue working on final designs of the embroidered badges

6. tidy my studio

Plus:

1. make up and send out orders

2. make bunting for first day back at school

Now, it might look as though I have only done two of the 6 things listed above, but oh how wrong you can be... take a look at my studio:

I know it's still not completely done, and the other side of the room is still pretty cluttered, but a vast improvement, non? So I know I have been rubbish and not done the other stuff, but I have been so busy making my pretty little nest that I didn't think anyone would mind too much ;)

I'm a very proud bee now :)

addendum

Hello!

OK, so I have done some of my list already...

1. write to my friend Judi

2. design some new lino prints

So now I have to actually make the lino prints, but I guess maybe that should wait until next week.

I do, however, have some things which I forgot to put on the list which I kinda need to do... so I might have to add them on in place of the ones I just completed...

• I had some orders come in from my shop, which I need to make and send out.
• I need to make some bunting for the first day back at school next Monday.

...and hope no-one notices ;)

Studio 1

OK, so here is how my studio looks at the moment - pretty disastrous, non?

But it will get better, look I have boxes and everything!

And a Mini Meower to help me!

Week 2

Hello again!

OK, so my new things for the week are:

1. write to my friend Judi who I have not seen in YEARS!

2. design some new lino prints

3. make the hot air balloons which I have now finished designing

4. finish painting the butterdish

5. continue working on final designs of the embroidered badges

6. tidy my studio (the boxes are filling up, now I just need to store them all somewhere!)

End of Week 1

Hello!

It's Tuesday and that means I have had this blog a week. But have I managed to tick off any more things? Ooooh, let's see...

3. draw a design to paint on my friend Claire's butterdish

4. make some awesome hot air balloon brooches for my Etsy shop

5. draw down the embroidered badges that I dreamed about a few months ago

6. tidy my studio

Number 3 has been done, and I have started painting it too, so that is all good.

Number 4 has been started, I have done the preliminary designs but not yet actually made them.

Number 5 I haven't started yet, so I'll have to do that tonight...

Number 6 has been started, in that I have bought a bunch of stackable boxes and have been labelling them up so that I can file away all my crafty bits into appropriate boxes and make it all more organised. Hurrah!

I will think of 5 new things to do this evening, as number 6 will always be "tidy my studio", and post again then.

TTFN!

Update 1

Hello.

I have completed some stuff!

1. start this blog to get me on my way

2. write to my grandfather

Now I have only 4 things left to do for the rest of the week, woop!

Introduction - week 1

Hello.

Firstly, some introductions: my name is Vixie and I love lists. I have a lot. Some are my own and some are other people's which I have found (they are kept in a big box labelled "lists"... I wish I was joking).

Anywho, I have a little Moleskine book of lists which I started over two years ago, and there are entries in there which I have not yet completed, even after all that time. It's getting a bit silly, and I don't think it's healthy to have all that stuff hanging over me, waiting to be done and ticked off, so I am going to gradually complete them all and document my progress here.

I am planning on choosing 6 things from my to-do list to complete per week:

3 easy things

2 medium things

1 difficult thing

Here are the things I plan to tick off my to-do list this week:

1. start this blog to get me on my way.

2. write to my grandfather - I have to apologise for not seeing him when he was in London a few weeks ago.

3. draw a design to paint on my friend Claire's butterdish - I have had this one for like a year.

4. make some awesome hot air balloon brooches for my Etsy shop.

5. draw down the embroidered badges that I dreamed about a few months ago.

6. tidy my studio (this one is pretty much ongoing, so expect it to crop up every week)

Right, looks like I have some stuff to be getting on with.

Bye for now!
