Work, life, hobbies, fun & responsibility - making it fit

Let's chat about hobby's, life & doing what we enjoy doing...balancing it with doing what we must...!  You know what I mean..we'd love to sit & say, crochet, all day; but the kids need lunch, the dog needs a bath, you have to go grocery shopping plus a million other things that are yours to do each day...

I'm creative & crafty, as many of us mums are. Funny how so many of us only find our creativity once the kiddies come along..perhaps it's all the clag-glue & playdoh we find ourselves immersed in everyday!

So many times, everyday, I have ideas for little projects I'd like to undertake but by the time I've made a toddlers' morning tea, given the baby a bottle & washed the brekky dishes I've often forgotten the brainwave already.

Oh yes, I know about keeping journals and notebooks for ideas...I have plenty of them..they keep the dining table & office desk level!  So one of my aims right now is to get out those notebooks, from under the wobbly furniture legs, dust of the cobwebs & actually get moving on the ideas.

My journals (or visual diaries as I like to call them..) are mostly filled with crafty little projects plus the occassional "potentially world changing" business or product idea - my flugelbinder (anyone remember Tom Cruise in Cocktail???). But right now the aim is to see the journals scribbles come to life & actually get completed.

Some of my projects are good - some are even great (like my kindy easy sheets!), some probably not so good (like Zoobie Owl that looked more like a cross between Furby & a penguin).  But I'll share the creative journey here with you...and anything that's a flop...hopefully you'll have ideas to help me turn a bad idea into a good one!

From time to time when I have extra of my handmade items like kindy easy sheets, kiddy stuff bags, handmade toys & other funky things...you'll find them here at Zimmer & Jee Handmade Range.  However most of these are sold before they're even made, in custom orders.

And as for the time for me to complete all these gloriously rewarding projects...well I'm still looking for the journal with THAT plan of action...which table leg was that....?????

If you'd like some more info, want to chat, or would like to request a custom order, you can do so using the Zimmer & Jee Contact Page or post below & i'll get back to you :)

Oh, and my little secret...fav places to buy fabric....
