Looking back at the end of a busy week
Once again the week is over all to soon. I've had 2 wedding commissions to do.....Some Wedding and Evening invitations, where the bride wanted Ivy included to the basic Simply Stylish Design
Here's a close up of the design, more can be seen on my Wedding Website

And some simple RSVP cards to go with them
And I've completed another 34 personalised egg cups

Each one of these will be filled with a Kinder Surprise Egg, bringing out the child within all the wedding gusts. I think it's a great idea!
Along with these, I've had the added worry of my 5 year old cat Dodger coming down with a mystery illness. Raging temperature and no obvious signs of anything wrong, except when a normally charging around cat, suddenly stops dead in their tracks and can hardly be bothered to get up and walk, you just have to worry. So far he's had 2 different anti-biotic injections and is now on daily pain killers fluid. His temperature has come down a bit, but we want him to resume his normal interest in life, otherwise we hare going to have to go down the blood test and x-ray root. Very worrying times indeed.
The studio clean up and turf out continues and now there's actually space for Steve to move in and work. This will enable him to be more productive, having a space that doesn't need him to clear away every day. And as well as all this our websites and business plan continue to grow.

Designer Wedding Stationery and what's kept me away from the blog...
The wedding fayre went really well and I was kept mega busy in the run up, designing and making 'Foiled' cards to add to a new portfolio. I'll profile and share the different designs on my North Yorkshire weddings Blog.
Before I stuck them into the portfolio I took a few photos, not fantastic ones admittedly, but photographing under artificial light has never really been successful I hope to take better ones soon with a lighting kit.... but you get the idea.....
Different brides have different tastes. Some like formal and others contemporary. The advantage of Calligraphers and Lettering Artists over printers and stationery manufacturers is that we can 'Tailor Make' and tweak designs as the customer wants.....making sure they get just what they want.
Steve's been busy too....making Jewellery and has expanded and managed to succeed in making earrings and bracelets too. That's the think I love about him...he's never phased and will give it a go, always positive that somehow he will make it work. When he cut the minute fragments of glass to be fired, I almost died....I could hardly see them and they had to be layered up, pyramid style to be fired, not knowing what would happen and how they would react. As usual he took it all in his stride and it all worked out just fine. This is more down to his patience than anything....Me? I have NO patience and I'm getting worse as time goes on I'm sure :o)
Yes it's been a busy few weeks...and now at the moment I'm juggling 2 Wedding Orders at once... all good fun and I will admit to lack of sleep and spare time to blog.
I'm also doing and loving Grandma duties one day a week, time flies by so quickly you have to enjoy every minute and I certainly intend to play a part in this little ones life. It's hard to believe but she's almost a year old already!!!! Yes time really flies :o)
Lastly, a very belated, Happy International Women's Day to all the Goddesses out there....you are truly amazing girls and the world would be a sadder place without you.
A guy asked me...Hey how about an International Men Day...I replied telling him the other 364 days were!!! Ouch, feminist of what!
OK, peeps....just catching up on the Creative Spirit before I get my head down with my Inspired by Script Blog and my Wedding Blog.
Ta, ta, and love and brightest blessings as the Spring Equinox approaches xxx
