PUSH - Numbers

There is my Push Pic for this week - better late than never I always say!

I love this pic because it is not just a puzzle, its about my boy, its about colors and its about learning and they would have to be three of my favorite things in the world!

Cant wait to play next week - you can too over at Hello Owl!

Darn Camera Cord!

I havent been able to play the Numbers theme of the PUSH game from Hello Owl because I have once again lost the cord which connects my camera to my computer! It may be because my spare room (which is meant to be my craft room) looks like this. . .

So instead here is the images that popped into my head soon as I read the theme for this weeks theme. I thought i should share them with you, these pics were taken by my beautiful friend Kelly Rae!

Arent they cool! She is a awesome lady and I miss her deeply as she is off conquering the world! You can check her blog out here and see some more of her photographic genius!

So what's new?

Well as much as I love the idea of this blog and I want it to be a place where I focus and share my creations I have been hopeless at regularly posting. It hasnt been helped by my lack of internet access - but I'm not here to make excuses!

I am here to make it better!

So - Over the next couple of weeks I am going into serious blog training! And I am joining in some fun blog challenges to keep up the motivation!

The first is PUSH - it is a fun little photo game hosted by one of my favorite bloggers Danielle at Hello Owl. And having just purchased a second hand Digital SLR I think a photo challenge is only fitting!

Next is Me-Made-June from over at 'So Zo...' - it is all about wearing clothes and accessories made by me each day, for a whole month! I tried to do it in March but on day 7 my house got flooded and I became homeless . . . well staying with friends that is!

Anyway if you want to follow some other participants, sign up or just check out Zo's blog head over to the sign up page HERE!

I hope you say hi along the way!

So expect to be seeing a lot of me aroung these parts in the coming weeks. . .

Test

Just checking if I added the comments widget properly

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!
