Lot´s of lovely goodies!







Like I said in my last post...I´ve been very, very busy! Getting together enough stock for "Oh mai gat!" in Terrassa and a Christmas market in the UK a friend of mine is doing and selling some of my stock :)

Lot´s of lovely signs made (in English and Catalan) and a ton and half of Gingerbread men and women!

The Etsy shops are starting to attract more people as well and I seem to be having more regular sales :) Yay! So far...so good :)


Happy Monday folks! x

Getting ready for the shop :)



I´ve been really busy getting my orders ready for the shop in Terrassa....As you can see ;) It is best to make the gingerbread people in batches, first cut them all out, then sew on their faces..., then sew on their gold sequins.... etc... etc...

It is quite a time consuming job, but a satisfying one! I like nothing more than seeng the piles of completed gingerbread people in packs and all labelled and ready to go :)


I am really looking forward to seeing them all in the shop and set up :)

Lot´s more packs to crack on with!!! Happy Sunday folks! x

Back to the routine and madness!



So today is my last day of freedom before back to work tomorrow! :(
I´ve been super, super busy with shop stuff this weekend in order to try and get ahead. I know once I get back to work it will be difficult (and tiring!) to find the time and fit it all in.



I am secretly looking forward to getting back into the routine and to be earning regular money again! :) Plus I never know what classes I get until right before....so sometimes, it´s exciting and sometimes....it´s horrible!!! :) I´ll find out tomorrow!!! arrrrhhhhh....

Other than that life is very busy.....and quite stressful. I got some...ummm...strange....news from the doctors the other day and I have to have lots of tests (mainly horrible ones) on my colon :( Yuck and horrible. But I am super proud of myself as I am being very brave and trying my best to be positive about it all. I´ll keep you updated - but without giving you the gory details! ;)


Have a great Sunday guys! x
