It has been waaaayyyy to long!!!!

Well since the last time I blogged (which has been forever) I have gotten engaged and then married to the most wonderful man...Nick....

We had our wedding on a charter boat that cruised up the swan river in Perth, then the reception was at my parents house in East Fremantle. We got married on November 20, 2010 and it was the most fantastic day, we had sooo much fun.

We went to Fiji for our honeymoon and we stayed at LikuLiku island which was brilliant would recommend to anyone. It was the most relaxing time we had and the food as amazing!!

It has been so busy that my sewing and blogging have taken a back seat, but know i'm organised and ready to get back into it.

I started an Interior Designing course which i'm still yet to complete- not sure where it is going to take me but it is fun all the same.

Next blog I will showcase some of my recent sewing projects thought that i would start with a simple blog to restart things off.

So here are some of the creations that I have put together- hopefully in the near future will be able to sell. I'm going to be putting them on www.etsy.com and I have a facebook page that I have created for anything colourful :)

Below is my button hole wrist cuff...

These are some headbands that I have put together- these are only drafts but there are more to come....

This is my head wrap with different colours and beads dangling off the ends...

These are my Chirpy dolls- inspired by one of my best friends who was having a bad few days, so wanting to brighten her day I came up with these and she loves hers....

This is a 20"x20" canvas that I have made into a material collage. It sits up in my lounge room and gets recognized everytime by people coming over- it adds a splash of vibrant colour on any wall....

This is a spiral bracelet that I made with my mum a few years ago and still make for my friends- full of colour and goes wonderfully with anything.....

I have brought alive dull singlets with a splash of colour- this one being a massive flower. Great for the weekend chilling....

Here are some cards that I made for my parents and Nick's parents for allowing us to stay over when we last had our trip back to Perth. I make cards all the time for all sorts of occasions- there is nothing like home made cards I love them :)

Dedicated now!!!

It's been awhile since i have blogged- in fact not since I started the blog up with help from my mum :) I have now got the time and energy to spend on the things that i love to do. My creative flow has come back and i'm very excited to get back into it.

I feel that 2010 is going to be the year for changes!! I am reading Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. Mum gave me this book years ago when I was a teenager- she had read it and thought it was wonderful. Being the teenager that I was I wasn't really into reading a book that was going to make me look at life differently- I was more concerned about shopping, boys and friends!!

However I have found the book hidden with all my other books and think that now is as better time as any to start reading it. I have learnt a lot through these past years with help from my partner nick and my family. I have grown up a lot and realised what my passions in life are and what I'm good at. So that is why i have started reading this book and making changes in my life that will make me more of a positive, happier, motivated person. My mum is very right about this book- but my mum has been very right about a lot things :)

So in 2010 I am going to make the time to spend on what I really enjoy doing- craft.I got this bug from my mum who in my eyes is totally fantastic at what she does. She is my craft idol- she is very talented. I would one day love to be a good as she is :) So my practice starts now and it just gives me a buzz and sense of achievement when i'm creating. I could do this all day every day.

Above is my very first quilt top with Amy Butler fat quarters given to be by my mum for my birthday last year. I can't wait to finish it and parade it in my house.

Stay tuned cause next post i'll be showing off what i have been making :)

I'm a newbie but a goodie

Isn't life great
