The business plan for when you're not interested

Ok so I have lots of bright ideas but they very rarely happen due to my lack of planning.  It's just...all the businessy stuff bores me and makes me demotivated.  This time, because I REALLY want to be successful, I did some research and found support:

Thank you Amazon!  I WILL look inside

It arrived sooner than I thought on Tuesday so I spent most of my free time this week, dipping into the book and gaining some insights about How To Start.  It turns out that the best way to start is to make a nice collage and do some meditation.  That's the plan for this weekend!

Of course I never buy just one book from Amazon - I have to justify the postage or at least that's my excuse.  This one I am thrilled by and can't wait to rip out the stencils (included) and start printing some fabric:

I'm especially interested in this project...I'll try some old cotton pillowcases first.

Lastly, to indulge my new-found papercraft habit, I found this incredible book at Paperbark in Albany (I have to say, this is one of the best bookshops for crafters like me and I always find something new and interesting whenever I visit):

I love how the templates are printed on the inside of the dustcover:

And some amazing but easy projects in here as well:

The look and feel of this book is just spot on, so pretty/grungy and inspiring.

So I have a lot to do, including all the neglected gardening, resuscitating crispy lawns and mulching this weekend but I'll report back on progress!
