I have been pondering what to
do with my business, well it's hardly a business - more of a thing. I've been
looking for answers, as you do, which way to go? What to focus on? and there's so many possibilities it's
driving me mental! I guess this is how religious beliefs start because I'm now
looking for signs! Send me a sign!!
Anyway I just saw a dead duck in the canal,
which made me think of how popular the dead-bird-thing is. Are we killing of the bird as a popular
symbol of freedom or something? Or is it just another way of looking at a
bird?? From underneath or captured
or dead.
My large question is – Is The Strange Bird dead?? Would it be more popular if it was??

I was going to put all that
on Facebook but it was getting too long and I’m terrified of being honest on
Facebook , also it does sound slightly like I might be suicidal, I’m not by the
way, (phew) but I may still kill off The Strange Bird.
I’ve read in those ‘how to
blog’ books that you need to write lists as they are great and people love them!
I can’t think of anything more boring than reading other peoples lists but
maybe I’m missing the point – maybe they don’t mean Wilkos shopping list?
So just to see if lists are
boring or not, here’s my list of possibilities which doesn't help at all it just makes me confused:
1 Make bags?
2 Make Creature kits?
3 Make brooches?
4 Make all three?
5 Print tee shirts and get a
market stall?
6 Get a pop up shop?
7 Organise workshops?
8 Go for fundraising to get
some money to open a workshop for screen printing and sewing?
9 Do all eight!
10 Just do illustrations?
11 Write kids stories?
12 Carry on with the ‘How to
do’ in the Making Saloon Blog?
13 See if I can get something
published in a crafty magazine?
14 Forget it all and get a
job back in catering?
15 Volunteer for something,
somewhere other than catering?
16 Do a course at college?
17 Do a course on line?
18 Teach myself something new
from books?
19 Move house?
20 Move to another country?
21 Arrggg!!!!
I’m now off to draw a dead
Strange Bird to see if it makes me happy or not.
