Rocketman, not Rocket science
Now, I've always considered my husband quite the catch; smart, funny and handsome. But sometimes, sometimes I do have a little giggle to myself and think what the hell?? Like yesterday, kids @ school, thought we'd sneak off to see "Rocketman". Since we were at the mall he booked in for an eye test after the movie, so far we were killing it. We walked in, it wasn't very busy so we could sit anywhere. I noticed a little toddler in the audience with her Mum and blankey, thought wow, Rocketman? She's game, mine would have been bored...
Who am I kidding ....
Today I realised who am I kidding, I am not a business woman, I am just a Mum. Some days I want to give all this up, the toll it takes on the family and all the copies of my best selling designs but then I get "that" order and I know I can never give this up. I made some cushions today for a boy in palliative care, a boy not much different in age from my Luke, did I cry most of the day, yes. Hubby and I decided at the beginning of the year I had to...
My mum always says "when you get old, you become invisible, well today I experienced it first hand....
My Courtney and I were in Bunnings (god I love Bunnings), much to my family's horror I have a bit of a habit of singing. A great song came on the radio (yes this is how sad my life is) and I started singing along. Courtney said "Shhhhh" but next thing we knew a man about 60 came over. "I just heard you singing in the next aisle, you have a really beautiful voice", she cracked up and said "No, that was Mum", he looked at me horrified, said nothing and kept walking. Oh OK, come back, let me sing...
Not 'just a cushion'
After all the drama yesterday it was nice waking up today knowing I only had a few orders to get out. I'm working on a birthday/family celebrations cushion and sent the proof back to a client for approval. She instantly realised one of the months was empty and then remembered her mother sadly had a still born baby 40 yrs ago and his birthday was in that month. She messaged me and said "do you think we should include him?", my answer was "Of course". We spoke and were both in tears, of course he should be included, he was...
Graduation Cushions....
It's all about giving back and wow won't these teachers feel special today. Yr 12 graduation gifts from a student to her teachers. LOVE x Oh and just incase you thought everything looks so perfect and so lovely, it isn't always the case getting to this point. I had a girlfriend over for dinner Monday night, we went into my office so I could print them as I knew I was going to be pressed for time the next day to get them all done. Printer down, OMG, she sat and talked to me for 2 hrs whilst I fiddled,...
