OK, I am a slacker!

I have not been keeping up to date with my blog at all.  I'm trying to keep on top of my life: running my shop on Etsy, getting my children sorted into university/into post-uni life, sourcing new supplies, and generally just trying to keep going.  I've started a pinterest board (but I haven't a clue what to do with it), joined something called craftori (ditto) and don't even get me started on wanelo!
All this social media is a bit overwhelming - I know that it could all help me get my shop to the next level, but I'm just not sure how.  I'm also trying to get the precious metal clay ideas sorted.  About the only thing I have managed recently is to get myself (half) moved into my new office (ie my son's former bedroom), and to crack the concept of bib necklaces.

Meanwhile, look at the gorgeous little kitten on the left.  Sweet, isn't he? Adorable? Pretty?  He is also a serial killer.  In the last 7 days, we have had 3 pigeons (one headless) and 1 live mouse placed under our dining table. (The mouse disappeared but we did find a kidney later, so I guess it didn't have a happy ending.

I wouldn't mind, but I can't cope with live mice.  Body parts, yes, no problem, but when they're moving, I want to stand on a chair!
Apart from that, Winston is the cutest cat ever. He's 2 and a half now, and shares his birthday with our daughter and his brother Sammy, who is ginger and the most adorable cat ever.  Hang on, that's Winston.  Actually they are both lovely, and you couldn't choose between them.  Apart from the dead things, that is.
