I'm in the process of setting up a Creative Mums Network to offer support, inspiration, ideas-sharing and networking opportunities to mums working or involved in the creative industries. I'm a freelance TV Producer with 2 young children and find, like many others in similar industries, that this isn't always compatible with motherhood - be it the fact that you feel isolated, drained of creativity or that you understandibly don't want to go back to working the 60 hour weeks you were doing before you became a mum. Lots of us are having to find different ways of working and to reinvent ourselves professionally - the support and advice from mothers in similar situations will hopefully make this transition easier. If you'd like to join the network or find out more, please do get in touch or join the creative mums network facebook group - http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=96514828147&ref=ts

hi


i'd love to join. i've just gone back to 4 days a week producing/researching some short films and a massive installation...along with managing the artists studio that all this is being made by. i feel completely drained and slightly nuts as i have twins just about to turn 4 with massive child care issues to deal with over the summer (let alone trying to work to creative hours).


so this sounds very interesting and please keep me in the loop. i'm aslo looking for good producers/editors/researchers etc... when work comes up.


look forward to hearing more...

hi im a costume maker and would love to be kept in touch about this, been back working since my little one was 3 months old! crazy busy but lovel combining the 2 as couldnt imagine anyone else looking after her in the day and cant imagine not doing this as a living as I love making things, look forward to hearing more leanne
If you're interested please do join and don't worry about how creative you are - it something most of us are worried about anyway. It may be that you don't have a creative background but are looking for inspiration and want to take your career in a new direction. The network is all about sharing with other mums to hopefully learn from each others' experience and try to make our careers and family life work for us.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
