SILVER LININGS

If nothing else, one of the biggest silver linings for me is when I get a sale. It’s not about the money, it’s having the reassurance that my hard work, my skills, experience and talent for what I love doing has been appreciated enough for someone to part with their hard earned cash. Of course the money helps, I won’t deny that I need that too, but feeling appreciated is far more important to me.

Day after day I put in the hours, making unique products, managing a website that constantly needs updating, posting on social media to try to get some attention, trying to find new ways to make my business work for me, creating, designing, imagining…

•

It’s a never ending circle of events that hopefully one day mean I can say I did it! I survived as a small business, I made a success of it and it continues to be something that people actually like and buy into.

•

My silver linings are few and far between at the moment, but once our world is able to operate in a more ‘normal' way and I can get back to my markets, pop-ups etc, I hope that more of you will love what I’m doing and support me. 

Every sale is a silver lining on the sometimes grey clouds of survival.

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.
