Digital Crafty Endeavours

So time is moving on. Where does it go? My days are full. I love my life here by the coast with my gorgeous hubby. I'm so truly blessed. The past two months have been truly amazing in lots of ways not least of all with my work. It's going on in leaps and bounds and I've doubled my income to a reasonable "I can pay my bills and buy a couple of special luxuries" level. Yay!

Steve and I recently took a day off and went to London and it was just incredible. We went to the National Gallery and saw the most amazing paintings. It was exciting, thrilling and inspirational. To see so many original pieces is truly mind blowing. Yes, it's great seeing them online or in one of our many art books but to see those paintings in "the flesh" is just incredible.

It was a good day and one that we needed very much. We walked miles and miles not just through the gallery but round London. We went from Victoria in Westminster to the West End seeing Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Centotaph, Downing Street, Admiralty Arch, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square. We took a wonderful wander through chinatown and then met Steve's brother and ended up in a great little bar in trendy Soho!

So yeah. Very much needed time out.

In regards to work, I've been really excited to be creating downloadable products for a UK craft store The Craft Cabin. Initially creating some Christmas packs but have a ton of themed packs in the works. I'm thrilled to be working with a UK craft company. Work and hobby all tied into one! How cool is that?!

Back to my Creative Roots

Well, it's been a while. I spent some time with my sister helping her out looking after my nieces while she recovered from surgery on her knee. It was an interesting time. I forgot how much hard work toddlers can be but also how funny they are. What a delight! And it was good to spend more time with my sister.

Work is going on in leaps and bounds. The decision to finish my work at Scrap Girls looks like it was a blessing in disguise. The first month I made over double what I normally make!! It really encouraged me forward and got my creative juices really flowing.

As well as creating digital craft products, I'm working on texturing and posing 3d models. Really going back to my roots somewhat. Its been so exciting to work with my hubby but also do some products on my own and slowly ease my way back into the world of 3d products. Yay! And catching up with some old online friends in that community has been an added blessing.

I've been approached by a "bricks and mortar" shop here in the UK re: creating exclusive downloadable digital craft products for them. We are ironing out the various details. It's exciting and I'm thrilled to be doing this for a UK company! Yay!
