just time for one more…

modflowers: vintage fabric owl cushionIt’s always difficult deciding how best to spend the limited time in the week on the run-up to a stall.

I had decided not to make anything else for Craft in the City this coming weekend.

I have commissions to complete, and gallery stock to sort out, and things to list on Etsy, and plenty of other stuff to do.

And I figured that as things had been a little quieter than expected at the Pretty Dandy Flea, I still had a goodly amount of stock and should just go with the flow and sell what I have, rather than flogging myself to fit in making more.

But, as usual, I’m not very good at sticking to the plan. Even when there is one.

I make lists, but then I abandon them. Or I rewrite them without actually ticking anything off. Or I find myself overtaken by events.

I wasted much of the morning sorting out confusion with our train tickets to London. Then there was a trip to the post office.

I didn’t have that long before it was time to take lad for his guitar lesson. (The axe-boy cometh!)

Some fabrics just spoke to me…

So I made another owl. ♥

  1. Love him! I received my goodies yesterday! It may sound silly, but one of my favorite things about the owls is the angle of the legs. My kids like the legs too.

    I hope you’re able to cross some things off those lists! 🙂

    • I’m so glad they arrived safely Erica! It’s always a worry sending stuff off in the post, especially this time of year and on such a long journey!

      I have to say, I still haven’t quite mastered getting the owls’ legs at the right angle every time. Because they’re attached inside out I have to kind of judge the position backwards and unseen – so sometimes I get a surprise when I see how they turn out!
