Motivation is fickle, so I'm grabbing it by the horns!

Hello thar!
So yes, I started off pretty fragmented with this blog, but I have come to realise that I need to give myself a kick up the backside and get myself a proper routine.

My problem has been not only facing the frustration of being a temp worker, and worrying about where the next paycheck is coming from, but also letting my laziness get the better of me in my personal time, which has led me to feel so frustrated and unfilfilled creatively.

So me and one of my best friends are soon going to be starting a sewing course once a week where I can finally learn to use the sewing machine my mother got me TWO YEARS AGO (the shame of it! lol). And to get things rolling again we're going to devote one evening a week to full-on crafting.

I'm finally getting on top of things with my shop and I'm finally putting in the effort to talk to socialise and admire other crafters out there.

I've also fallen madly, undeniably in love with Mollie Makes Magazine and I'm desperate for a subscription! It's a mag that truly highlights the cream of the crop when it comes to crafting and it is jam-packed with beautiful photography, templates and awesome free-gifts. I only have two copies out of 11 so far, but I think some of the back issues are actually digitally downloadable. I'm going to add the blog to my favourite links too :) Highly recommended! Grab a copy ASAP.

Anyway, I'm going to be updating this blog with my favourite links, plans to come, and (fingers-crossed) some photos of the projects I've completed recently.

Two words: miniature homecrafts!
