Brain dump

This is one of those posts that nobody wants to read, but tough. It's my blog and I'll waffle if I want to.

Christmas in nearly here and I'm getting very excited. I have a million things I want to make, including paper snowflakes, bauble wreath, table centre piece, and a print with a winter theme for the living room. I honestly intend on making all of those things but I doubt I will. I just keep planning and reading home magazines with christmas stuff in.
My main dilemma is when to put the tree and decorations up. I usually do it on the 1st December but then I'm really fed up of them by boxing day. I was going to wait until we return from our log cabin trip on 14th but I just don't think I can wait that long! Everyone is really miserable on our close. They throw a scabby tree up a week before christmas and thats it.
I also keep changing my mind on what I'm cooking for Christmas dinner. I keep finding better recipes. I do know I'm making roast tomato soup for starter and mini Christmas cakes for desert.

I have lots of ideas going around in my head again but can't seem to achieve much. I'm trying to record stuff in a journal so I don't forget. Maybe then I can come back to it when I can settle down.

Heres a scarf I made that was immediately stolen by my mother along with some lovely cashmerino mittens.

Shake it photo

I've been having lots of fun with the http://shakeitphoto.com/ app for my iphone. It's very simple and produces really good results. I took this shot of Edinburgh Castle from my hotel window last week. I love the bright blue.

Hellloooooooo..

I just can't seem to find time to blog these days even though I'm not really doing much. I think it's because I've been drawing a lot and knitting too, just doing things that don't have me sat at the desk. I have lots of ideas for new bits and pieces and have some web design I want to get finished so maybe I'l blog a little more in the days to come.

I found How about Orange today and got lost for a couple of hours. I've been making Nani birds and other paper stuff. It's so addictive and lots of fun. I also down loaded some awsome note paper from a print a day so I can try and organise my thoughts.

I'll leave you with a random pic because I don't like posts without them!

It's such a busy time for me right now. I've just finished decorating every room in mum & dads new flat, the kids have been off school, Ruby & Kitty have been spayed, I've painted the living room and all that is added to the daily running of the house and looking after everyone. It's not left me with much creative time. I have managed to get some knitting and crochet done in the evenings and drew this little doodle a few nights ago. Things may or may not slow down in the. coming weeks!
