Mercury Was is in Gatorade or something?

This week has been one of the busiest weeks yet and it isn't even the run up to the Christmas market!! So many enquiries to answer and curios to make that it is amazing that I have managed to keep up. Thursday has started with what can only be described as a "head full of bees" day, so many thoughts and ideas trying to distract us from the tasks at hand. I still haven't made a coffee but there is a pot of soup made, because there were carrots next to the oat milk in the fridge. Tonight will be more productive, the headphones are on charge and the paints are made and prepared for finishing touches tonight. Days like these are a nightmare, they either help or hinder and today they have done a bit of both. 
In all honesty I do not feel ready for this market at all. You know when you are just constantly chasing your tail and not seeing any results for your efforts? That is how I feel. I am not complaining, not even a little. I remember the days of silence and little work so this is welcomed hugely. I just can't believe it. So happy to see returning customers, new customers and people that had us highly recommended getting in touch. It is overwhelming.
After the Christmas market, it has been decided that we will take a bit of R and R to focus on the book to really give that a huge push so we hit our deadline and have it ready for summer release! That also means we will be working away on dolls while we are at the market so we keep ourselves up to scratch on that front as well. 
We had an amazing weekend at the Small Business market and said goodbye to Buttons and one of Gypsy's kittens, Rose. We also had two custom orders collected and were delighted with the feedback we got on them both, it is the little things that matter especially after a tough week. We also got a gorgeous diary from the lovely Bedlam Bags and a beautiful little macrame witch from Boho Knots. I love finding unique pieces from other small businesses. 
We are charging forward and stocking up on our curios for the last of this years markets and we may fall silent on social media, mainly because the We is only Me and there are only so many plates I can juggle. However on saying this, it might not be the case as there are so many amazing dolls coming that I won't be able to not let you all have a sneak peek at them. 
Lastly and probably on a more annoying note, we have noticed a lot of people taking pictures of our work. We don't mind but it would be nice to be asked especially after all the drama we had dumped at our door with another person pretending to be part of what we do, which resulted in a lot of stress and sleepless nights. 
Anyway the next one to be finished is our stunning Autumn witch and she should be available soon! As much as we have loved making her, the bodice nearly caused an accident as the sequins took down two needles and, had I not been wearing my glasses, I would be one eye down. The joys of being creative haha.

As always, Stay Quirky
