A (who is 12 now!!) comes home from school sometimes taking about being fat and it breaks my heart that she is thinking about these things. She uses Pinterest now and she follows my activism board which has lots of body positivity things on it - hopefully she will take them onboard :) I know I haven't commented for a while and I feel a bit cheeky asking but if the poster is still available then I'd love it!Swirlyartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17604277693684703535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-7823686490267722012016-01-22T21:43:04.277+00:002016-01-22T21:43:04.277+00:00Have fun :) Where would we all be without googly ...Have fun :) Where would we all be without googly eyes?

I think it's a lot of time invested for very little return, as I don't promote myself enough (or probably make/list things well enough) to really sell much. But do I really want my house filled with random needle felted oddities?! Ha! I always miss the "purpose" of crafting post-Christmas and my thoughts return to business ideas, but I think in the meantime I'll stay focussed on making over selling.<br /><br />Good luck with your own creative endeavours this year. I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with xdropstitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891710367717242017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983479369024235167.post-21978486115529848372016-01-08T20:47:24.096+00:002016-01-08T20:47:24.096+00:00Happy new year!
