another year - another pile of ideas and doubts..

Hello-ha  - Happy new year and all that.

I'm sat here with the de-humidifier blasting away and the smell of mould cleaner wafting around the house. Outside it's grey and drizzly as normal. Beside me is a pile of sketch books and note books for : drawings, ideas for sewing, bags, prints, patterns, kids stuff, things for me, tea-shirt prints, ideas for craft parties, exhibitions, art-clubs, business designs, marketing, promotions, writing, stories, songs, poems, and general self improvement! aggrrhhhhhhh....................................................................................................................................................................................... yes indeed, where to start.
So, having drunk my cold coffee, I've decided to start here, with the blog.   Blog-a-rama-tastic.

I'm sure no-one is interested in the mummblings of my mind but sod it - it all seems quite pointless anyway - if Jamie looses his job in the next round of local government re-organising (i.e. sacking another loads of youth workers) then I shall be getting a job stacking shelves in Pound-Savers anyway.
But while I'm still here plugging away - something I really need to work on this year is SALES! Sales is not my strong point,  so I'm just going to have to give my creations away instead!  ah ha.....brilliant idea!
And here -  my lovely followers and future followers is what you could win.
 This super (A4) Strange Bird print,   PLUS  a splendid set of (4 x 3cm) buttons.   For FREE !

All you do have you do a small amount of work to be entered into the draw.

1: follow this blog & write a comment
or alternatively

2: just be really nice and 'share' & 'like' my face book page and generally big me up!
The draw will take place on the LoVeLY day of the 14th of February. HOOORAYYYY!!! xxxxx
