I've been preparing for a creative fest ................


and deciding on colour
 


for this ole girl
 

 
with beautiful handles
 

and maybe a mosaic top
 


of technicolour
 

 
and hanging prints from my mum
 
 
and kid friendly craft
 


and storing essentials
 


and sorting pretties
 

 
and loving my new transport
(did I mention we own a bike shop?)
 
 
and hanging to use my new (old) machine
 
 
to create lots of lovelies!
 
But in the meantime  .....
 
I am stuck in the cupboard
 
 
(yes literally)
knee-deep in paper work!
This was a walk in wardrobe in a previous life
now its my 1.4m x 2.6m office
(notice anything? there is no window grrhhhh)
 
YUK!
 
I am itching to get out into the sewing room but my current priority is bookwork for my "other" business (the one that puts food on the table!)
 
After an 18 month break, I am back to my old antics keeping the business end of our bike shop going!  Paying bills, reconciling bank accounts, running errands, paying staff, doing the GST and general organisational shenanigans!
 
Am I happy about it? - no not really (if the truth be know)
but alas,
I am a Company Director and a Company Director needs to do what needs to be done!
 
I am hoping with all my heart I can sort it all out, and get into a fabulous routine of 2 days per week at the office (well in the closet) and 3 days of sewing gorgeous frockery.
But my life is NEVER that organised so we will see.
As usual I promised I'd catch up on every ones blogs and in grand "Dee" style my plan flew out the window, so forgive me wont you.
I am hoping like hell my next post will be full of pictures of gorgeous dresses in a fest of floral delights to tantalize your eyes!
(but honeys, dont hold your breath)
Till then,
Dee xox

  1. Your bike is fabulous. You must look super cool riding around town on it. That set of drawers will look wonderful painted a bright colour with a mosaic top. It's a shame you're having to do bookwork again but you gotta do what you gotta do.

  5. I am dying to see what that dresser will look like the colors are fab and the tiles even cooler. I have a window in my office and I keep the blinds closed is that bad? I get too easily distracted but in the summertime it is a must, light = life. I hope you sort it all out soon. I think it's really cool you guys have a bike shop!

    Ugh, anything to do with beaurocracy gives me the SHITS!
    How awesome to own a bike shop, though! You just need someone to do the boring stuff so you can do the AWESOME stuff!

  7. That chest of drawers is a beauty, gorgeous shape and lovely handles.
    Look at those fab suitcases and all your stunning fabric... What a shame that The Proper Job is keeping you away from your sewing, but IO guess the family needs to eat...
