What do I do all day? – I was asked this the other day, and thought about it – how do I spend the majority of my time, once the domestic chores are completed, or more likely ignored? I have to admit to the privilege of being able to dictate how I spend the majority of my time once I have discharged the responsibilities of housekeeper, wife, mother and dog walker. And I love it. I love the space of being allowed to meander amongst the various pathways of my mind and the plethora of material available on the internet – a real benefit for a curious mind. I love the opportunity to create my versions of hand made books and to sometimes have the privilege of collaboration with a commission.
Once upon a time I felt somewhat guilty for not having a more productive endeavour, but no longer. Now I revel in the opportunity to sometimes spend time doing what I like, how I want to.
Time – its the most precious commodity we have, so watch where you invest yours. And when someone asks me now, I tell them how it is, without apology. Took me a while, but I got there.
If you want to see more of my creative endeavours, then pop in to my Etsy shop or my Society 6 store page. I would love to have your feedback too.
Enjoy your day, your week, your life.
I have a similar lifestyle, and I love it too. It’s nice to see someone else write about this- most people just talk about how busy they are, too busy to do what they enjoy.

I agree!! I have been too anxious about living the life I chose – I am letting go of that anxiety. I am so lucky to have a supportive husband – but then I support him too!
