Making presents and cards for friends and family....

So, the year is nearly ending and Christmas and New Year is coming. It's almost the end of 2008 and many of us may have been through the worse, the best, and many other obstacles.

What ever it is...we still survived! HEY!! :)

So, I'm currently making Christmas cards and some presents for my closest friends and relatives. I'm even planning to make something nice for my cat, Frank as well as my lil baby boo :) Okay, I got her a cute orange, folk style hand knitted jumper, so have to wrap it all up. the cards are all made off recycled materials, old magazine cut outs, printing papers etc etc etc

I don't celebrate Christmas, but New Year will a bigger celebration for me. Christmas is mainly for me making and giving presents only. My whole family from home will be gathering in London, so that'll be something different for a change. I can't do anything BIG though as I have an assignment due in early Jan 2009, yup, of all times. But hey, studying is studying!

Well, I'm off to explore my creative making cards brain :)

By the way, I'm selling wall calendar at £10 (inc. packaging & postage) and desk calendar at £6 (inc packaging & postage) As you might not know, I've slashed prices for them!! So, e-mail me for further queries!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! :)

I DO HOPE ALL OF YOU CELEBRATED IN STYLE AND CREATIVELY! :)

Christmas is coming and soon New Year!!

So, Christmas will be coming shortly and I am hoping this holiday season will end. Not that I hate Christmas, it's just that part of my money goes into buying supplies and making them and also the fact that I have not made any sale so far, is making me even MORE BROKE!

However, I have been trying to figure out what kind of items I can recycle to make them look brand new and perfect as a Xmas gift! But anyway, I have been recycling those old Christmas cards and updating them a bit, looking fresh as ever! :)

I'm looking forward to the NEW YEAR though. 2007 has not been the best year for me apart from having my lovely families intact of course. And the friendship I have and made new ones. My darling little big daughter. The progress of my inventive mind making more creative and innovative products.

What I'm looking forward to 2008 is the old me but with a much more bit of spice!

Here is what I'm planning to do (in no particular order):

1) Stop disliking and start loving more
2) Stop being sad and be happy instead
3) enjoy food, live life to the fullest and be merry (sounds so much like christmas LOL)
4) Stop being lazy and start BEING MORE PRODUCTIVE
5) Staying a healthy and fit life
6) Keep BLOG updated every week or every 2 weeks at least!
7) Stop feeling sorry for myself
8) Stop being grumpy miss polly molly silly solly
9) Keep ETSY shop updated-(old etsy will be closed and new one will be opening soon with a fresh new--all shall be revealed once i have done preparation etc for it)
10) Keep making more and more amazing things
11) Recycle MORE than usual
12) Conserve energy and water
13) Stop being a follower and start being a leader!
14) QUIT BEING SENSITIVE AND JUST CHILL!!
15) PATIENCE IS EVERY PERSON"S VIRTUE (i need to be more patience)
16) SAVE UP MORE instead of SPENDING
17) Don't be afraid of the number 26 in JULY 2008!! (that's how OLD I'll be!!!! yikes!!) Young I mean hehehe
18) Follow DREAMS and ignore the nightmares.
19)Stop judging people (you know the little voices in your head??? yup, going to have to control it..but judge in a good way not a bad way)
20) Live each day as though it is my last day--do good things for myself and let myself shine to others and also, be nice to everyone no matter how negative they can be.

I have not been updating my etsy shop nor have I put that many pictures in my Flickr either. But I have been making a load of new samples and been sewing plenty of new old things and recycling some clothes as well, so I am definitely looking forward to 2008.
