So does anyone have any tips on how to squeeze in a normal life, working part time, young kids, a husband and the housework alongside crafting :eek: I've done no housework this week and every evening so far has been taken up with making Xmas crafts :eek: I just can't fit it all in.................

Sounds like me Bitsy, I work 8am-4pm Mon-Fri, 2 young kids, DH who works shifts which means I am on my own a lot, housework etc etc, I get up at 6am and usually not into bed until around 12.30 :eek:. I am a Flylady so try and get in some cleaning whilst dinner is cooking, and kids are eating, then Ironing whilst they watch TV for half an hour. Crafting starts when the littlies are in bed but I tell you, I have been feeling it this week!!! Oh and I read thread whilst at work

Glad it is not just me who is neglecting the housework! I don't normally let my children watch tv but it has been sneaking in a bit this past week, not good. I have been crafting mainly in the evening, I need to get lots done and there just isn't enough hours in the day lol.

Hi all i get my card/paper from RYMANs stationers

update on my table this morning :j
done brilliant had lots of orders and a few more took my cards and will look on my FB page so that looks promising,much happier with myself today.
ordered my round punch last night so as soon as that gets here i will make a start on the sandwiched chocs and mints as i have had orders for lots of them and there is no way im sitting there cutting all the circles out like i have been, so a big thankyou to Helen who kindly shared them with us

YAY! Glad you had a better morning Hollie (Ive just had to re-type your name twice cos my 'H' is tempermental, and only works if button-bashed :mad:)
Now, I have a similar dilemna to you ladies, just the other way round ... I have done no crafting this week :doh:
Housework takes a priority here, else I get told off for being on te laptop all day - MEN! Add to that a 10 week old baby (he's the easy one, believe me) and a 4 month old kitten (she's the naughty, mischievous one - decided to scale my airer yesterday, just so she could sun herself in the window *sigh*)
Only good thing, my sister Beka, gives me motivation when needed, so we do FLYing together

Right, I need to go and get me a black ink cartridge for my poor printer, as Argos only had the coloured packs - typical.

Today, however, is baking day ... I found a nice recipe for shortbread, and I have been meaning to make carrot cake for weeks now ... Stop laughing Beka!!!

Oh and the lil heifer boy needs to be weighed today ... 6kilos I reckon (13lbs for those in old talk)
Well, I was wrong - 5.4kilos 12bs, but he has had a cold which he lovingly shared ...

Cookie cutters just arrived from Amazon - yay!!!!
