more tarisota playing


did these last week. Loved the sparkly, clean nature of July's kit (that I got by surprise). Tamar wanted two of my LO's for tarisota talk - yeah -check these out tomorrow! Couldn't resist a little more handstitching in the Gentle Breeze LO!

Can't wait for August's kit! Bright & colourful this month.

Ethan's @ Grannys as I was down there for a Kei tua o te pae seminar on Saturday. Might see him again in a week or so. Doing an online class through scrapoffaith on Wednesday night - looking forward to it!

Up2Scrap is out - have you seen it? Another awesome job & lots of familiar names alongside layouts - congrats if you were published.

Did some cool challenges @ SBO in the weekend - while others were @ CC - had a go @ a circle shaped LO inspired by a dinner plate - check the gallery for the challenge LO's.

Best go & get organised for another workshop tonight - 'Capitalising on children's curiosity' - sounds fascinating! Seriously.

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

a catch up

Spent last night in Invers. We had a family dinner for dh's Nanny. We did a brief shop @ Farmers (none in the Wakatip) & went to Splash Palace this morning & BK for lunch (there's no BK here either!). Here are my 21 Challenge pages for the last three days. The hardest one was the Eleanor Roosevelt quote as I'm not sure what scares me - other than a lingering death while my children are still young, or one of them or dh being harmed in some way but even then I have a faith that gives me hope & assurance of a future. So I decided to apply this to my art or my creating - to try something new each day - even if it scares me. Day 4's quote was a goodie - I find that I make decisions all the time & this confirms that I am 'qualified' to make them. I used the pic of Katya for Day 6 as her blowing dandilion heads across the play area indicates this freedom & exploration of the world around. Watching her reminds me of the beauty & wonder al...
