.. my friend has been seeing an acupuncturist who told her that she needs to 'nourish' herself more and I knew straight away what she meant. For a while now I have felt unbalanced in my life and that I wasn't looking after myself as much as others. Hence the lack of creativity.
So a couple of weeks ago I took a major life decision and resigned from my part-time from home work. The reasons are many and varied but I am so looking forward to spending the summer with the girls. My days will then be spent removating and organising the house so that come the weekends we can spend time together as a family. I will of course be allowing myself creative time outs!
I've found myself with some time this weekend as Lily has gone to Brownie Camp. It's her first time away from me and home (apart from having a few Grannie stays), I hope she's coping OK, the house is very quiet with just Mia. So a little bit of crafting was in order.
Firstly I've made a little bird for my stepmum as a post-op present. She's becoming a bit of a bird collector!
This is for Shimelle's Sketch of the Week which I've rotated.
Have a very busy couple of weeks coming up with the end of term approaching, final PTA events to organise and a family wedding. Then there's our summer holiday to look forward to - yipee!

That was a big decision Fay. Glad you seem to be happy and now looking forward to summer. The work and kids juggling thing is no fun in the holidays. So pleased for you xx
I love your take on the sketch. I also turned it 1/4 to fit my photos better. Enjoy your freedom / down time!
Good for you, making more time for yourself and your family. Like how you turned the sketch.
Love the colours in your sketch - and it's good to be good to yourself!
