Things are a little crazy right now...

...I am up to my eyes with work; on top of my 'proper' job, my little fingers are getting sore with all the hours that I am trying to fit in creating pretty things for the 'umpteen' fairs that I have coming up!...
...It's a real honor for me to have been approved to hold a stall at this years Strawberry fair, where they anticipate 35,000 visitors!!! and also, I have been lucky enough to bag a pitch at the Fairyland fair in Holt which is a 2 day event...it's a charity that encourages young children to get up, close and personal with nature...apparently, someone has described it as an Organic Disney! I'm so excited about it...just need to make my very eco-friendly/willow/wooden type stall...and find somewhere to stay!...if anyone knows of anywhere near by, please let me know!!!...I don't much fancy the commute!...speaking of commuting/driving, I just have to tell you all, we have a new addition to the Mumford family, and whilst I keep trying to justify me reasons behind being so extravagant, money alone cannot buy the excitement, happiness (not to forget the hand flapping and'wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' noises from little Jack and Sammy, or the street-cred for Adam!)...we have bitten the bullet and bought this...
...we're off to collect her tomorrow! (or someday soon!!!!)...
...so you can see, why I am working all the hours god sends, not to mention Marky, he's pulling his weight too!... It's gonna be a bit of sensory over-load for me, not to mention my special boys!...
...so, I was pretty pleased to have made a few sales over the last week on Folksy and Etsy...getting quite global is Mummy-bird of late...a sale to Denmark, San Diego in the States and then to my lovely folks here in the UK...
...my 'up-cycled' cake stands are becoming popular and these 2 sold in just 2 days of me listing them...

 ...and my 'up-cycled' necklaces are proving to be a hit too!...

...still on the craft theme, I have a little shout out...to my friend EMILY CARDY (I think she has a read of my blog from time to time!)...Emily has started to make beautiful memo holders from fabric, ribbon and board and the most amazing ACEO's...they are simply stunning...and I am taking this opportunity to give her a kick up the wotsit to get a wriggle on and start making a little money!...
...so, busy, busy, busy, life is good, just a tad exhausting! and btw, I hope you all had a lovely Easter and enjoyed the Royal wedding...I certainly did, tea and cakes all day! lush!...
...warm wishes to you all...
