'ello ...

Ho hum ... have you seen the episode of Dr Who with the Master, with the drums beating in his head?  That's how I feel at the moment - with the drums of time ticking by - very dramatic.  But February is almost over and I have so much to do!  I've even forgotten to blog and to send my nephews their birthday pressies - bad Aunty!  Wish it would all stop just for a few moments so I can catch my breath ... 

It's accurate to say I'm feeling overwhelmed - 4 weeks to go until the Autumn Fair and I have lots of things to make, both for the school and my own stall.  I'm also feeling the pressure of  'coming out' and admitting I'm an artist to the world at large.  All of a sudden I have that small voice in the back of my head whispering 'are you really an artist?  are you sure?'  I produced a flyer the other day and realized with dismay I'd produced something I may have done at school, something with a beginning, middle and end and not very exciting to look at.  It took some honest talking from my husband for me to break out of the mould and get creative to produce something a little more artful.  Some things are difficult to unlearn!  BUT I am getting there!  And of course everything will be done on time and in 4 weeks and 1 day I will be breathing a huge sigh of relief and downing a huge cup of tea!  It's all good fun really xxx
