Another month gone!!

Well I can hardly believe it - today is February!! January seemed to disappear in a flash and 2013 is picking up a pace! So thinking on my feet I have many 'hats' to choose from...

'Mummy hat' - it is my little boy's 5th birthday next week (can't really believe my baby is 5!) so I have a select after school tea party to arrange. The requests have included spongebob/moshi monster/Spider-Man theme, so quite eclectic really!

'fundraising hat' - now a key member of the PTA I have pancakes sales, Easter Egg hunts and school discos to organise...just some more bits to squeeeeeze into my hectic days!

'ShireCrafts hat' - I have sooo many fab ideas for Easter including beautiful fabric wreaths in multi coloured ginghams and ribbons, fun spring inspired bunting strings and gorgeous fragile woven eggs ( shall definitely being posting some pis of those soon) and of course something chocolate-based! Plus I was buying some delicious Italian olive oil from a fab friend in the village today (who is also an amazing Italian cook) and we started hatching some plans for some very lovely kitchen textiles...very exciting...!

So busy times, but why not? And I'm not the only one in our household - my amazing little twins have also got the entrepreneur-bug! They have collected up all their lip balms, nail varnishes, hair accessories and 'jewellery' and do 'beauty for girls, by girls'. They even have there own business cards! A lesson for us all just go for it...! xx
