We are such opposites ...It is just warming up here. We are such opposites on the weather front. It is hard for me to think of June as winter and December as summer. I am a big believer in working for free and I am glad your family decided to give it a go. I know one has to do a job for money, but the free work is for fun, and creativity and pleasure. That is why I blog. It is my free job. My real job is for the money. I am glad Mr. Ouch is going to trying and combine them. I am not sure that I can combine them, but as long as my free job doesn't turn into work, I'll be okay. Good luck. The answer always shows up when you are looking for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635768533679313199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39298720616925303.post-91851271621327210402013-06-25T13:27:00.172+10:002013-06-25T13:27:00.172+10:00I'm sure that whatever you and Mr. Ouch decide...I'm sure that whatever you and Mr. Ouch decide will bring you success.

I love, love,...Your Iittala finds are are gorgeous. I love, love, love Ultima Thule.<br /><br />You have done such a marvelous job with Ouch Flower, and every bit of recognition has been truly deserved. I'm so excited for you. And I do agree with you that part of being successful and happy in your work is to monitor what you're doing and how you feel about doing it, assess how effective your strategies are and plan ahead constantly.<br /><br />Hardly a day goes by that my SIL doesn't do just that. He totally has his finger on the pulse of the business (and the family's happiness level), and I think that's the main reason he's done so well in such a short time.<br /><br />That's exactly why I feel so sure that you're going to take Ouch Flower to incredible heights. I think you have that same talent for analysis.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39298720616925303.post-67232136187743689132013-06-22T23:08:34.643+10:002013-06-22T23:08:34.643+10:00Your description of sitting at home with a bundle ...Your description of sitting at home with a bundle of twine at your feet reminded me of the miller's daughter in Rumplestiltskin, sitting in her tower spinning straw into gold ( yeah, I know, if only it were that easy!) <br />I am so happy that the lovely things you make are getting the attention they deserve. I am a very proud 'big Sis'. It has been fun tagging along for the ride and getting to know you through your blog. You are a very special person Pipstar. It sounds like you and the Mr have got it sorted, supporting each other so that you can both follow your dreams.

I'm sure it's hard work doing it all on your own. It's also fabulous you're doing something you love ... teaching will help pay the bills but maybe one day you can give that up. Mr Ouch should also follow his dreams. The life of a green keeper sounds quite pleasant.xoMakeminemidcenturyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304535583168822160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39298720616925303.post-60093377527344500652013-06-22T14:38:01.770+10:002013-06-22T14:38:01.770+10:00He has definitely turned lemons into lemonade, cl...He has definitely turned lemons into lemonade, clever Mr Ouch! <br />...of course your invited, every dinner party needs a fire cracker! xx Pippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615558574770342802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39298720616925303.post-58142428564243029932013-06-22T14:35:12.308+10:002013-06-22T14:35:12.308+10:00I will look out for you! ...it will only be a matt...I will look out for you! ...it will only be a matter of time! <br /><br />And thanks for your lovely support too, Brismod! xx Pippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615558574770342802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-39298720616925303.post-11445157401022310812013-06-22T14:22:36.480+10:002013-06-22T14:22:36.480+10:00lovely finds pippa....and lovely dreams that are c...lovely finds pippa....and lovely dreams that are coming true. it takes guts to change direction. im a tad jealous of mr ouch....not so much the mowing of lawns in freezing weather although im sure that's fun?....but going after what he wants....not many run with the chance to do that. and you my dear....well you know your fab...don't you?!....what fantastic role models you both are to the littlest ouch.<br />oh and that dream dinner party.....Im in!!
