Been a while

Busy, Busy, Busy... It isn't supposed to be the busiest time of year yet is it? Oh that is right, Christmas is nearly upon us and I have a business to kick off the ground as much as I can! Over at Mind to Matter there are happenings ;) Slowly but surely I will make it work :) Things on the home front... Weeeeelll, my house feels a bit neglected, my children probably do too! I have started menu planning for our dinner meals, for 3 weeks now (almost) it seems to be working and working well at that! Yesterday we went to our second session of Living for Less, with Tanya over at Suburban Jubilee Heading out to Killiecrankie Farm for a days of Backyard chicken learnings, from paddock (hen house) to plate! I met the lovely bloggers from Killiecrankie and Apple Island Wife Had some wonderful chats, cake and a cup of tea! This week I will be busy trying to create some goodies to go to market with on Monday!

Up date again!

It seems I have been busy lately, or maybe just not in a blogging mood?

I have registered my business name and now have an ABN.

Exciting prospects.

I have wands, dream pillows and necklaces in stock... check out my facebook page www.facebook.com/mindtomatter

I am making crystal pendants and hooded children's capes/cloaks.
So many new thoughts and ideas going about in my head.
Ways to get things moving on for the business.

I will be at the Exeter Market on Monday the 7th November
Then setting up at the Belly Dance Bazaar in Launceston on the 19th

Hope to see some of you there :)

Better Late than Never?

Update time?

Well we headed to the local market, and had a great time met some new people and got rid of a few household items we didn't need anymore. Then we took the toys that didn't sell to the Salvo's bin!

Then I took all my makes to the Australian Wiccan Conference on the weekend and set up my stall there! I am very pleased with the result! Met some lovely people on my weekend away, Shared the Crystal love with everyone, lots of people where keen to throw there hands in the pit and have a play. I will get some of my stall photo's up soon!

I also one a promotional package in the raffle on the weekend, which has led me to really think about where I want my business to go from here... and I am really lost with the answer! I mean I started out doing what I enjoyed and had hoped it would lead to making me a little money to help supplement around here!
When what I started didn't take off and life things happened, I decided the timing wasn't right and put everything on hold!
Then I found a new opportunity and everything has grown again from there. Now I have so many ideas that if I worked with them all I would become far too overwhelmed, so I need to find a way to make everything fit into the way I want to run things.
A friend of mine has suggested working with the seasons, and as that is a part of how I want to live my life it seems to fit with my life and ideals. So working by the seasons means I will make and craft according to the seasonal variations. I will still have certain lines that I will sell year round, like the tumbles, but as for the rest it will be dependent on the time of the year around us!
I will post up a Table of sorts when I have fine tuned the way I want to work things out :)

Living Better with Less

Lots been going on, and a lot to catch up on...

Firstly, Hubby and I have just organised to attend this Living Better for Less course.
We start on Sunday doing soap making and a few other bits..
Spaces are almost full so Contact Tanya asap if you want to join in :)

So since my last post...

I promised to let you know what we did for our anniversary and failed miserably at remembering that!
Hubby and I headed to Leven Canyon for a wonderful bush walk sans kids! It was wonderful... I might eventually get to some photo's!

Then that weekend I did my first market... head over to Mind to Matter Blog for an update on all that Jazz!

Then this last weekend, I headed down the east coast to join a host of gorgeous men and women folk, for the 2011 Australian Wiccan Conference! I had a great time, met some amazing people, and hope to keep in touch and catch up them all again :)

Sending love and Support...

Well really the secret broke ages ago, but having had a busy day (post about that tomorrow) I reserve the right to be a late comer to the party...

Janet Fraser, if not for you, and the community at JB, I would not be celebrating the 4th anniversary of my son's home birth in less than a week.

You are an amazing pillar of strength and support to so many. You have shared countless life journeys both happy and sad, and I am proud to stand up and be counted as someone who supports what you do!

I wish I could be more eloquent and write a post of more substance, but this is it...

Words can't explain how much you have given to me and thousands of other women (and men) around the world.

Thank You <3
