Its oh so quiet....

Things have been kinda quiet around here.  From November to the middle of January I was in sunny (read cold bleak miserable and awesome) Scotland, and since I have been back I have hit the ground running with custom orders, market preparation and various other things.

Heres a few snap shots from the last few months

Slack blogger is slack

So, I'm terrible at keeping a regular blog it would appear.  No matter how many times i tell myself that i am going to do it, going to stay focused... i just get dis....oh shiney

 

Whats been happening....

• Still decidedly addicted to tatting
• Purchased a new heat sealer - testing a new packaging for my soaps
• Lots of procrastination
• Started dating - sort of 

Now back to this blogging business, do you have any tips or tricks that will help keep me on track? Help keep me motivated?

Homeless Connect

Here's a peak at the handmade soaps I'm making to donate to Homeless Connect

Homeless Connect

A fairly new craft friend of mine brought Homeless Connect to my attention via facebook the other day. This is something i have decided to put my support behind and urge you to do the same where possible.  Over the next few days i will be making a custom batch of handmade soaps to donate to the cause.

"Homeless Connect brings together business and community groups twice a year to give free services to the homeless or those at risk"

Services include:

• medical care
• legal advice
• accommodation referral
• personal grooming items 
• clothes

You can donate specific items to the following locations between Monday, 12 March and Friday, 4 May 2012:

• Council libraries - shampoo, face wash, soap and other toiletries
• Local ward offices - non-perishable food items
• Brisbane Salvation Army stores - new underwear and socks, blankets, clothing, shoes and towels

For further information on the event and how to volunteer, head on over to the BCC Homeless Connect info page
