Well, if I can't manage blogging through the week at the moment, I can at least keep up with my weekly post of...

I have every intention of blogging but am currently using most of my spare time to clean up my studio and start de-cluttering my house for a more simplistic life with less.

1. I have this book heading my way. Looking forward to taking in its content.

2. I thought Kristen's idea of taking one photo each morning would be a nice little routine activity to do every day.

3. Really like the idea of a folded card booklet to hold journalling on a layout.

4. I LOVE everything this girl does!

5. Still undecided which one I want - Canon or Epson??? One has the connectivity options I like and the other the print quality! Hmmmmm....

Enjoy your weekend.

Take care.

I am here again with another weekly dose of...

1. I signed up to this app on my iPhone this week. I'm still working my way around it but I'm liking what i see so far. Full verdict pending :-)

2. I am always up for more ideas and inspiration on topics to blog about. This is a good list!

3. Got a bit of a laugh out of this. Seriously thinking this kind of post would be great as a 'what's going on around our home' monthly post - it would be good for a giggle anyway ;-) 

4. Now this in one way to silence a room! But the message this woman serves is clear and definitely made its mark!

5. Creating with cork - Stephanie rocks it!

Enjoy!

I love it when I can get to the end of the day and say -

'I made something today'

OR 

'I mastered a new skill'

OR

'I started AND finished something'

OR

all of these!

Yesterday was one of those days!

Oh yes!

And I am just a little excited about this.

I was browsing my fave blogs yesterday - you know the ones that you just automatically go to while drinking your morning coffee cos you know they are good no matter what - and I came across THIS POST over on Kellie's blog.

Yes - you read it right - ARM KNITTING!! 

And it really is quite easy no matter how hard you think the diagrams look - I went to YouTube and found THIS video and followed it to the 'T' - pausing and restarting, sliding back to certain spots and re-watching as many times as I saw fit. Which was quite a lot actually. heehee

Miss J had picked this wool out at Spotlight last weekend for me to make her a scarf. It's Passioknit Folkart Firecracker wool - 100% acrylic 100g balls. I used two balls for this cowl. I had been searching to find the perfect scarf to crochet for her.
When I came across this, the light went on and out come the wool and I got stuck right into it! I had to restart twice BUT third time lucky and I had this...


I was stoked!!
And so was this little chickadee...

I'm keen to make some more!!

Whatta ya reckon?? Keen to have a go?
Please share if you do :-)

A new month. A new mood board over at Jot!

This month the colour scheme was chosen by Kim Archer and it is absolutely divine.

I went totally gah-gah over this mood board and all its minty natural goodness!

And here is my sample page...

And it's time for another weekly round of...

1. Browsing my blog faves list, I clicked onto this blog and THIS post popped up. The last point almost brought me to tears - I know it is necessary and imminent but MAN it's hard. I really struggle with it when it comes to my kids!

2. Fellow Polka Dot Creative team member, Ellie created some beautiful journal cards for her Project Life album. Love em!!

3. I clicked this link over on Facebook and was given 5 tips to staying productive when working from home. I don't run a business from home but I do DT work and the occasional bookwork for the agency - I think these points are nice little reminders for anyone really, whether you're a Mum, housewife, or business owner working from home.

4. I like this space for a kids room - except I would make it bunk style beds with the working space underneath.

5. I reckon my kids would love some of the books on this list!

Enjoy and take care my lovely readers!

It's always an absolutely exciting and thrilling time when a new issue of Jot is released. 

I just love it!

And this issue is no ordinary issue - it's a celebration.

Jot turns ONE!!

Yippee!!

I had the honour of kicking the issue off with the quick challenge layout! You can join in on the challenges and upload your work over on the Jot blog HERE.

And there is plenty of other inspirational projects and articles throughout the magazine that you are just gonna LOVE!!!

It's being hailed the best issue yet!!

And that's saying something because Jot has always been top-notch to begin with. Every issue has crept up in readership and people are loving it.

So head on over HERE to soak up all the goodness!!

You won't regret it!!

Hi there!

Ahhhhhh - a fresh new month.

As you would most likely be aware - I have just completed THIS challenge of blogging everyday in May and I aiming to continue on in blogging more regularly. That's why I thought this challenge would be great to do - to see how I go in trying to blog everyday. I have found that I have gotten into a bit of a groove so would like to continue this way.

I have come across a few new blogs through the challenge too which is great. In browsing the links on one of the other prompts the other day I came across one of the bloggers who made a list for herself to continue blogging in June. I have printed this list off and will use some of these prompts throughout the month when I feel I need some inspiration. Otherwise I will post however I feel led :-)

But for today I will use the prompt on this new list and write What I am looking forward to this month...

1. Blogging more of course ;-)

2.Living and Documenting life - starting some very meaningful projects to me

3. Running some special events through my blog here (so stay tuned folks!)

4. Celebrating this girls third birthday on the 15th :-)

5. More ambo training

6. Receiving happy mail

7. Doing some crochet projects

8. Organising my house better (couple of rooms need some work still!!)

9. Creating for Jot Magazine and Polka Dot Creative.

10. Enjoying life. Being happy.

What are you looking forward to this month?
