1. have more routine in my day, and more set working hours so that I can have time off without feeling guilty .... and go to bed earlier!
~ Well, I have had some days when I have been very productive and a couple of nights I have been to bed before midnight, so .... not too good 3/10 I think :(
2. do some accounts everyday so that they don't become a big mountain of a job that I put off doing!
~ ahh, now this one I can feel proud about ... most days I have done some ... 8/10 :D
3. spend more time making pretty things and being creative not just do the 'boring necessary' jobs that you have to do when self-employed.
~ I've had a few days where I have enjoyed making (see pics below!) so ... 6/10
4. keep my desk tidy!
~ I don't think we should even look at this one! ... 0/10!!!
So all in all ... not that great ... must try better next month ... I think I will write them out and pin them up so I see them every day!
Well here are some of the pretty things that I have made this month ...
... there is an album on our facebook page where you can have a sneaky-peek at lots more!
... and here are a few Valentine Cards that are available in Folksy, Etsy, eBay and our online shop And lastly ... we have a NEW blog ...
AT THE BEACH COLLECTION is a range of beautiful paintings that my Great Grandfather did in the 1920's and each scene has captured the essence and beauty of the South Coast of England, giving an authentic flavour of life in the early 20th Century.

Your jewellery is sooooo cute! And Valentine Cards are really lovely :):):)
ReplyDeletethank you :)
ReplyDeleteI think you've done really well! Usually when I make resolutions, they rarely last past the second week of January, so for you to still be working on them at the beginning of Feb is fantastic. Keep it up! ;)
ReplyDeleteLoving the new things you've had in the shop this year. The bottom left Valentine's card with the big heart reminds me of those amazing chocolate boxes you can get in the shape of a big heart. I'd love to receive one of those on Valentine's Day, they're so romantic - and think of all the chocolates you'd get inside a big one!!!
Gorgeous post as always,
