‘We all want progress, but if you're on
the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the
right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most
progressive.’ C.S.Lewis.
It is the end of another very busy
week here at Raganory headquarters. Unfortunately,
I’ve been rather preoccupied with cutting through red tape and getting to grips
with the bureaucracy that surrounds self assessment. These procedures are in place to guard
against money laundering and tax avoidance, however I do find it a little excessive;
I only want to sell a few dolls.
Aside from the paper shuffling on the
whole it’s been a frustrating and sluggish week productivity wise, with new
ideas and outstanding work left stagnating. Although I’m always fully occupied it’s
interesting to note that since becoming self employed has resulted in a worrying
reduction in my productivity, which needs to be addressed.
Initially I wanted to write a blog that
chronicles my creativity, ideas, photographs and achievements, an annual
experiment to determine if I should proceed with my business ideas. However, if this is to succeed as a valuable resource
then honesty dictates that it will also be a place to record the low points and
less successful times. Reality bites!
I have
included some photographs to illustrate what I have managed to achieve this
week.
Mama Rags before.
Experimenting with feet and facial hair.
Assessing the potential for eyebrows.
Some of the final finishes for Mama Rags are the addition of slippers, lace cuffs and collar and an apron.
I think she also needs a baby.
The beginnings of a crochet shawl.
Finally, in the immortal words of Walt Disney ‘The way to get started
is to quit talking and begin doing’. On
that note I’m off to finish the shawl.
