My creative space...

A week between drinks?!

Pretty embarrassing really considering how many blogs I read everyday that I am unable to keep mine relevant and up to date!

I have good intentions and then I sit down and think, hmm, well.  Do you really want to hear my sweary rant about how my car wouldn't start on Sunday morning, my husband had already gone to work and I had to drive the Manual Transit Van with three kids squeezed illegally across the front seat so my son could play his last game of U8 footy for the season.  I have not driven a manual vehicle in 15 years.  And I hate weekend kiddie sport.

Do you really want to hear how much money I have spent this week on school and kinder photos - only to receive individual shots of the boys that when shown to a friend gasped in fright!  Or how you get duped at kinder into buying the special frame with the special poster type montage of kinder photos cause you know they produce it in such an obscure shape you are not going to find that frame size anywhere.  Then they charge you $50 for said frame that you remember only cost $30 last year.


Lucky this one was pretty cute.  The dimples just about kill me!

I have been slowly plugging away at Isaac's Mario blanket but need to order more wool before I can really go much further.  Until I find some money for that (the small amount that might be left over after the exhorbitant photo expenditure!) I have been trying to teach myself some other crafty endeavours.

I picked up the cutest little cross stitch sets from Big W the other day and have been teaching myself/remembering how to do it.


I have strong memories of sitting at my aunts house one summer when I was only young while she showed me what to do.  It has all come flooding back and it's pretty straight forward.  I do find I must pop on my glasses and sit in a well lit spot or those teeny holes might send me a bit bonkers!
