Back Open For Business

So, I'm back a-cutting when Ted is a-napping! It's lovely. Makes such a nice change from playing and running around with him to just sit and scalpel. I don't get very long but it is amazing how productive you can be when a baby sleeps! Storeyshop is back open (my Etsy shop anyway, Folksy shop will hopefully follow soon) and is stocked up with lasercut cards and posters. Personalised orders are by request for the time being just so that I can keep track easier and make sure I don't say 'yes' to lots of exciting orders and then struggle to keep up with them.

I have also braved walking to my local Post Office to deliver some of my recent orders. It is quite a trek but a nice one when Ted and I have time and when the weather's nice. Although, yes, I walked all the way there a few weeks ago without the cards I needed to post. A good fifty minute walk where I was feeling all cheery and on top of things until I got to the counter and realised. I really hope this 'baby brain' goes away again sometime soon!

Anyway, here's pics of my new walk to post orders, the Office Junior coming along for the ride and some recently scalpelled baby papercuts...

Ready to go!

Here are the monkeys all wrapped up and ready to go!



(They get wrapped in protective plastic wrapping too on top of the pretty packaging!)

Monkey Sales!

I'm very excited. Three monkey sales overnight! One to Canada, one to LA and one to Reading, UK. Today is going to be a monkey day. I have to change one of the sold monkey's eyes to stitched eyes rather than buttons and then it will be wrapping them up and sending them off on their various journeys around the world via John my lovely post master at the little Haltwhistle post office. (I love it, the longest queue you ever find in there is one other person. Not like the post office in Soho, London where your minimum wait is 45 minutes!)




This is Pink Stripey who is off to Canada later today!

More good news. I can have a bath now. The Screwfix man has delivered the parcels!
