Depression got me

I havnt been posting for a while because I have been enduring a bout of anxiety and depression. Still am. I have had some nice moments,  it hasn't been all doom and gloom but it has left me  with no energy and feeling overwhelmed.
On the most excellent side my mum has been told she is cancer free. That is such a HUGE Relief.
I have been attending parent groups for dealing with my children with the new twist of,autism to add to the adhd and probable add. I am learning a lot. It's a great group and well Worth attending.

Friday sees me in London delivering artworks to the mall galleries for an exhibition/competition. Awards night Monday.
All in all everything is going well apart from a few small worries that I am trying to sort out. And also not to worry about! 
I had been neglecting my filofax which added to the anxiety so I am diligently entering everything into it to save the panic checking I usually do. It really helps. I am.using a second hand brown A5 Finsbury right now as my daily diary and I am finding it great,  but heavy. I found a,second hand very scuffed pink personal finsbury on ebay that I may switch to to see if that serves better.

Raspberry Finsbury!

I have a new raspberry Finsbury A5 filofax :-D 
I use this filo for keeping track of all my online blogs , websites , Etsy shops and anything else I need to update on a regular basis plus a gallery log of ideas to paint , inspirations and competitions . 
I have a thing about the stitching .
Details details :-) They make me happy . I love the fabric inside with filofax on it and I love that its engraved on the ring support too . 
I have a world map and a time zone map in it . LOADS of cream lined paper , finances , to do etc but no calendar in this as i keep my work calendar as a year to view in my A4 . 
It came with a cream A-Z . I have always wanted one of those ! This is a filofax I won from ebay , it had a torn pen  loop but a bit of superglue fixed that and its fab ! 
It has loads of credit card pockets which clearly should be renamed stationary pockets . I love those martha stewart stickers ! I also remembered to put some of my business cards in it . 
Setting it up with my studio page . Each tag relates to a blog or Etsy shop etc . 
I love how the pink bits in the map match the deep raspberry cover . Its all in the little things . 
Not to be left out , my retro bloom personal filo has a new week in it . With plenty of raspberry to match its new workmate :-D
