LOOKING FORWARD

There’s really no other way to look, it’s forward all the way. Colour My Dreams is still an infant, crawling around trying to find it’s feet. It falls over from time to time as it learns that those first steps, as easy as they look, take quite a lot of time to master.

•

I’ve learnt so much over the past few years. Not only have my business skills taken a step forward, so have my craft skills. The basics that I learnt as a child are now more refined and adventurous. I know my strengths and weaknesses and intend on building more on my strengths when it comes to the projects I tackle. I’ve certainly become more accepting of myself and my own abilities.

•

Appreciating that other people have skills that I don’t or I’m not very good at, is one step closer to applauding what I can do and being prepared to refine those skills even further. I’m not going to beat myself up for not being as good at a certain stitch, knot or technique as another crafter.

•

I’m looking forward to an exciting future, for more colour and sunshine in my life, for more opportunities to share my skills with people who want to learn and to love what I do even more than I do now.

That’s my looking forward, there’s no looking back!

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 from Colour My Dreams. Don't forget to have fun!

🎄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.
