And thats a FAIL!

So that is an epic fail on my part! I worn clothes made by me for five days, missed the sixth and managed the seventh and hoped to sew for 12hrs straight to ensure the next few days were sorted.

When I got home on the 7th my craft room was full of water! Yes WATER!!

So a flooded house, a late night evacuation and crashing at a friends house all week has lead to very little sewing and even less inspiration - I have been doing some cool embroidery and today I learnt to knit - so this blog is now going to be dedicated to my creative musings as well as trying to find some direction in my life!

I need to find direction but I also need to remind myself of all the fun and exciting things that are hatching in my head!

So when I get back to my house and find the cable for my camera I will show you all the outfits I made and I will make more! Because despite the fail I have found a renewed excitement for my sewing machine and even have a few of my own patterns in the making!

And now I am going to take five min to myself and check out all the other people who participated in the challenge!

6 months went where??

WOW - i thought i was bad last year but without even noticing it has been SIX months since my last post (and that one doesnt even count anyway!)

In the next few weeks I plan to post A LOT of post! I want to get back to reading the book 5 which is what this blog is meant to based around and in the mean time I am participating in So. .Zo's Me-Made-March challenge to wear clothes I have made or altered in some way. So come by every few days and see how I go with it.

I am worried because while I have always been a sewer my current wardrobe has only TWO items I made for myself! So thats today and tomorrow covered and after that I will be doing A LOT of sewing!! I am hoping it will help ignite my enthusiasm which i seem to left back in 2010!

Today I stuck, due to flood waters 3 hours drive from my sewing machine so we will see how this pans out!

Anyway off to pack the car in the hope that the highway opens. And I will pop back later to post some pics of todays homemade outfit!
