shop update

Here are a few new items that I will be adding to my Etsy shop this week. I have already added a couple of other dresses (check them out!) and hope to take some further photos of more stock very soon! The little blue dress top right is the very first dress I ever made. I fell in love with the vintage fabric (my bf gave it to me).

My bf has also completed my banner which I have placed strategically above my little photo collage (it is very amateur but I am learning!).

I have just had my very first sale - a momentus occasion - and I wrapped it up to ship today. It was very exciting!

homeward bound

I took this week off work to:

1 - test out what it would be like to work from home.
2 - to start up an Etsy store.
3 - to try and get my new flat more sorted.
4 - to sew my little heart out.

Of course, as I am off to Christchurch tomorrow for a 'mini-break' with my bf it has only really given me the last few days.

I have realised that:

1 - as I knew, I put a lot of pressure on myself as my own 'boss'.
2 - the internet is a complex world - I am more than a little computer illiterate but do get excited when I manage simple tasks. Though can someone please help me with adding images of my Etsy store to the side on my blog???
3 - the 'good' sewing days are always equated with the 'bad' sewing days.
4 - we have too much stuff!!! (Though the place is looking much cozier - I really do love it!).
5 - I could very much be a hermit. I like my own company. I like listening to old records and sewing and cooking and talking to no one. (To be fair, when my bf gets home I jump all over him and force him to engage in conversation).

One day this will be my life.

I would love to hear from all you lovely bloggers for whom working from home is a reality.
