FOCUS & PRIORITIES

Since the first lockdown almost a year ago, I started focusing on Colour My Dreams a lot more. I guess with the lack of mobility that we found ourselves facing, it was a case of having to find ways to keep busy at home. I basically upped my game with the amount of products that I was making and experimenting a lot more.

•

I’ve not quite decided on my product niche yet, basically because I love to try new things. However, I think I’ve got a few products that have proven to be the most popular and I’m concentrating on them a lot more - beanies, scarves, string shopping bags, phone bags and hanging pot holders are all my best sellers.

•

My main priority at the moment is to get on with making video instructions to complement my patterns with the aim to give beginners all the visual tools they need to get started on their chosen craft. You can check out my YouTube Channel - Colour My Dreams for the macrame videos I’ve made so far. There’ll be some knitting and crochet ones are on their way soon.

•

I must admit, focussing on one thing at a time is not one of my strengths. I’m a bit of a multi-tasker. I get distracted by something that I really want to do and the stuff that really needs doing gets pushed aside. Saying that, I tend to get it all done in the end, it’s just not in a very linear order.

Open for Business

By Cathie George • 13 Feb, 2024
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.

🎄Festive Greetings 🎄

If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better". A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.

Au Revoir, but not Goodbye

By Cathie George • 25 Jul, 2022
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.

I Am Enough

By Cathie George • 10 Jun, 2022
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
