let's socialise

 

I'm not here as much as I'd like to be.

I work a lot of hours outside home and although

I still squeeze in craft every chance I get

I sometimes feel they aren't worthy of a full blog post.

 

I blab all about them all over the internet still.

 

Where you may ask?

 

Well....

 

I'm on Instagram

also on facebook

and twitter

and google +.

or maybe chatting away about books on GoodReads.

I also have a profiles on linkedin and I pin madly at pinterest.

Of course I still have my lovely shop too.

 

Phew! That's a lot of socialising isn't it!

 

Speaking of socialising I have a lovely visitor

for morning tea soon, just wait till you see what she makes!

 

Also coming up is new tutorial with a small giveaway

from a great Australian business.

 

So yes as you can see if I'm not here I'm there.

Or there or there or there.

 

Where are you?

Let me know so I can find you too.

 

 

Here's another photo of Lucy

I mean really who doesn't love Lucy!

 

 

 

 

 

reading and sewing and sewing and reading

For me 2014 was a pretty crap year.

There, I've said it.

 

I didn't get much reading done and I certainly

didn't get much sewing done

and these are two of my favourite things to do.

 

I have declared 2015 my  year and

I hope it's your year too.

 

I'm joining in the

2015 Sewing Bucket List

and 26 books to read in 2015.

 

When you see some of the prompts you'll see why.

They are all easy and achievable, even for me!

26 books to read in 2015 ~ bringing up burns

 

These don't need to be done in any particular order

and I can either do them or not.

 

We can blog our progress or share on Instagram.

 

What about you?

Are you in?

 

 

my instagram week

Although I don't always have time to do a full blog post

most days I pop a photo on Instagram.

 

Instagram has grown into a friendly community

where most are encouraging and helpful.

There is no drama with leaving a comment

for others ~ you can just like someone's photo

if you wish or not.

 

It can often be a behind the scenes look at your

favourite creator's  design process

or see their home , their pets or family life.

 

This week I posted the pretty fabrics I was working with.

 

I shared some lovely fresh cherries,

 

I showed off my solar Christmas lights,

 

  a lot of us put our bats out for Phillip Hughes

#putoutyourbats

 

and I posted a few photos around my town.

#riverina

 

 

 Of course there was some more craft thrown in.

 

My photos are all taken on my little Galaxy phone

and it's not even a flash one.

I don't use fancy filters and I don't take photos

of the meals I'm having.

I'm sorry I just don't understand why people

need to show us everything they are eating.

#shootmeitsfood

 

So if you only have a dodgy little phone that takes

basic photos and very little time for much else

come and join me on Istagram it really is so much fun!
