Project 365
Welcome to my world: Me Myself I
As regular blog readers, you have been most welcome in my world for a long while now :-)
BUT, over on FLICKR i have started a *new* project.

in my car, i am king....
i took these photos a while back... as a planned page for one of my 'scrapbooks'.
i don't know whether there are others *out there* who feel the way i do about driving? i am so very thankful my parents made me learn to drive the day i turned 17yrs....
in my car, i am king. Not in an arrogant, road rage kind of a way, but in a way that makes me feel SUPERB! i love the freedom that my car affords me. My driving licence is the passport that tells me, each and every morning "today, you can do whatever you want. You can go wherever you chose...." and in that breath, i feel totally free. i would give up so many things in my life, long before i gave up my right to drive.
The passenger seat carries my essentials: Shopping that i got. The handbag i take with me. The scarf i might need if i feel like one.... an old apple core... the foot well filled with half drunk bottles of water.
The car is mine and mine alone. i choose the time. i choose the pace. i choose the music. i choose the place.

the world is my oyster.
I wonder if MrsB has this sense of control, freedom, adultness, peace, when she runs?
the world is my oyster.
my daugter always sleeps peacefully, strapped into the backseat.
I'm not a particularly 'good' driver and but, since my attendance at "speed school" i am a safer driver.

it's okay, i'll drive myself :)
Share your inner Ming...
I am not the kind to hide behind layers of make-up or designer clothes.
However, like most 'bloggers', i edit myself to appear halfway decent and mildly flattering...
I have blushed at some of the lovely comments people have left about my work and me!
But people... i have no boundaries.... it is time to embrace my 'inner Ming'.
I confess - I AM A MINGER
Check out this hair>>>>> early in the morning on my daughters birthday.
Less 'Bed Head' and more 'Hedge Head'...
My PostMan nearly cried when i answered the door to him like this. He is very young and of a nervous disposition.
You may not see the 'inner Ming' in this foot shot - but to me it is cringe evil. These are my worst tights in the world. The pair i ONLY wear underneath my dog walking trousers in the coldest of weather fronts... bits of sewing sewing stuck to me too...
YES! of course there are many more photos like these horrors... but please, i have exposed enough for one posting...

Handmade Treat for me :)...
I have got so many things to blog about: When will i get the time?
Firstly, I had to share ToddleFish with you in her Pudding Hat! and her amazingly crafty use of old Christmas Cards....
Blue Peter / Martha Stewart moment: Using an old cereal box and the discarded Christmas Greetings Cards we made a 'Winter Wonderland' scene! Tremendous...!
For those readers who don't know, I chose not send ToddleFish to school last September so we do tend to hang out at home alot and bake / craft.
But really, I wanted to share with you my new bracelet. It is from ELIN (click name for shop link!) I had my eye on it for a long while and then just bought it. I was worried it would feel too 'chunky' on me and a bit cumbersome. But I l o v e textile jewelery so thought i'd give it a try...
It doesn't feel at all chunky. It is, in fact, as light as a feather. Other than taking it off to wash up in (and bathe) it has been on my wrist from the moment i opened the lovely packaging. I am really pleased with my 'whim' and i have her in mind for a few future treats for myself.

But with a really fine thread? and grey and white odd patterning to it - I adore it. Thankyou ELIN, you are a talent x
I am in a hurry now though.... Halfway through getting the *new* felt shop up and running... See ya soon (I end with a random self portrait shot because, as a reader of blogs, i like to see pictures of the blogger) x

Oh Sew Tired...
Hello friends .... it is 5.45am in this picture.
I cannot sleep.
I am not stressed.
I am not worried.
I think my insomnia is happiness and excitement and creativity.
I am feeling a crafty vibe at the moment and I am loving all the Christmas retail rushing and the etsy shops and the MADNESS of craft fairs .... last minute stitching....
So, i sit at my sewing machine, 5.45am and take a few photos of me 'here' / 'now' to show you what i see and what sees me...
My pile of felted wool, jumpers collected from jumble sales, for 'that' project...
My threads and jars and bobbins and bits and stash and stuff....
And i see my sewing machine, slightly askew because so is my brain...
And my sewing machine sees me... this photo was taken from the top of my Janome and my machine sees me looking at it, like a love affair.
When i am sat here, i want to be out - walking, yoga, dancing, swimming...
And when I am not sat here, it is the only place i long to be.
I am Oh, sew tired and sew happy, today x
