I am still busy working - with lots of breaks for tea and cake, of course :)
Most of my own mugs are packed up in boxes (along with the rest of the stuff from my old flat), so I've "adopted" a couple of mugs from my parents cupboards (it's not just me who likes to use the same mugs over and over, is it?). This is an old one that belonged to one of my sisters when they were at school or University, I think... it's from a time of many essays and exams, anyway. It reads "I hate work I hate work I hate work I hate work" and every time I look at it I feel happy because I actually LOVE my job. Even with the occasional crazy deadline!
While on my tea breaks I have been enjoying staring out of the window at all the birds on the bird feeders. As I mentioned last month, lots of birds visit my parents garden.... and I was lucky enough to be sitting right next to the window with my camera when this lovely woodpecker paid us a visit at the weekend:
Which has reminded me that a few weeks ago I managed to get some snaps of a couple of deer sitting around in our neighbours' garden - just chilling out, thinking deer thoughts, planning their schedule for the day, etc. Aren't they lovely?

Spring is in the Air!
Well, I'm not 100% sure about that weather-wise but I'm definitely starting to see lots of happy spring-themed things popping up in my blog feed lately.... including the spring issue of UK Handmade magazine which is, as always, full of loveliness.
You can read the magazine online for free HERE or buy a PDF copy HERE.

Tick, Tick, Tick
Talking of deadlines... wanna see my to do list?
You know you're busy when your to do list isn't actually a list but a two page colour-coded chart :)
I'm getting lots of things ticked off (hurrah!) but there's still lots to do. Wish me luck!

Taking A Short Break
Thanks to being ill this week I've not had a lot of energy to pour into my crafty projects. Usually even when I'm tired I do a bit of simple knitting in the evenings while watching the TV, but I've barely touched my knitting over the past few days.
More importantly, I've also fallen a bit behind with work-related stuff ... and as I've got a big deadline looming I need to catch up a.s.a.p.!
I'm going to take a short break from packing parcels & posting shop orders, etc, so I can focus on meeting my deadline. Any orders placed in my shops from tomorrow (2nd Feb) until Sunday 10th Feb will be posted as soon as possible in the week beginning 11th Feb. So if there's anything you want posted before that, please place your order today :)
