Magic and Miracles

I completely believe when we die we do not disappear, I don't understand what happens but I believe heaven plays a part in our afterlife. Since the departure of loved ones I have tought alot about it. The opportunity to have an angel reading appeared and this time I couldn't resist.

During the reading, the words magic and miracles appeared - I haven't stopped thinking of this line. Since the reading, I have become self-employed, been asked to be married and am generally in a happier place. Not everyone believes in afterlife or angels - I do and I am extremely interested.

Friday this week, I will be going to the spiritulist church in the hope that a spirit comes through, I do get disheartened when they don't. Only time will tell x

I've taken the steps to be a sole trader...

I seem to be forever busy these days, i'm not complaining one bit ! I love what I do. I've taken on the cleaning with a friend at work so thats 10hrs extra a month, plus my sewing too - trying to save a little bit of money to finally get the house i've always wanted.

Yesterday I finally filled out the necesary forms to become a sole trader and register "Towards Mayhem" as my job. I will then need to create a website and get cards printed, maybe leaflets too.

Hopefully it will take me to highest of heights x

My proudest make yet

Here is my proudest make, a quilt made for my daughter. I created the patchwork front a few weeks back but I haven't been brave enough to finish it for fear of ruining it. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.

It's filled with wadding inside, cotton& polycotton front and cuddlesoft dimpled velboa on the back (which is the softest feeling, i'm tempted to keep it myself).

My next major project is a patchwork throw for my dad - a double bed size.. what have I let myself in for ? Keep watching to see progress x

silent sunday..... x

Its all happening...

Wow, been a while since I posted. I apologise...
So, since the last post about creating a new page to sell my bits and pieces I've mainly been creating items for orders.

I'm really pleased how things have turned out as it goes, within 24hrs I was contacted by a FB page askingto stock y dolls blankets in their brand new shop in Surrey.

I'm currently up to 108 likers and hopefully this will continue to grow to create more orders. Sewing for me is really relaxing, don't get me wrong it can be very frustrating but I do love the feeling that i've created something.

Here's a few pics of my very latest makes - I found the most amazing tea room in Keswick and this fabric was on sale. I genuinely fell in love.. so, I made 2 things for myself - thats a very rare treat ! A fabric tray to hold bits and pieces on and a coin purse. Keep an eye out for new bits and pieces...x

I plucked up the courage

So, a few days ago I decided to get my bottom into gear and make a page to sell my items, I believe the fear of rejection was my main worry and that's why it's taken so long, but I needed to have a real purpose to make things... so, Towards Mayhem was born. It's rather difficult choosing a name for a venture that's catchy and sticks. I decided on the name as it has 2 meanings to me.

My stock includes dolls pram blankets and pillows, made for my madam to keep her dolly warm. I've not seen these for sale anywhere so thought there might be a market for little old me.

branching out to bigger things

So, ive been thinking. Scary I know!

I see all these facebook pages up and running by stay at home mams and ladies my age, selling homemade bits and pieces and I must admit i'm tempted, very tempted...until I get the fear. Fear of rejection, fear that im not good enough or my makings wont be acceptable.

I love making things, it's my little addiction and release, and it would be great if I could make me a little bit of pocket money in the process. Not a major company or self employed or anything. Just enough to keep me out of trouble really.

I mean, madam keeps m busy all day, but I do have some evenings free, around cricket and spending time with the mister. I just need to pluck up the courage, maybe I might start by making a few things that would be ready to go instead of waiting on commisioned orders. Hmmm.

Then there's the worry that my work wouldn't be original ideas... and then theres the catchy business name...

One day i'll be brave enough...one day !  x
