Some of my Uni Creativity

Seeing as my first unit is now done and I officially have a few days before the next one starts (although I have already made a start on the readings!), I decided to show off some of the things I've been working on.

My work can be seen in my Flickr account - I was going to post some actual images here, but I can't upload them at the moment :(  It's pouring rain where I live and as soon as it is a bit windy or rainy my internet is very temperamental and doesn't like to upload/download very well at all!  I may try again in a few days once the inclement weather leaves...

I'm looking forward to my next unit, although because it's not a practical subject, I have decided to keep working through a book I had been working through last year but got sidetracked from... The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Dr Betty Edwards.  I'm planning on doing a drawing subject next, and as I'm not a very good drawer yet, I decided to get a bit of a head start and do some practise :)

Let's see how I go!

Oh and here's the third saying from my blackboard...  a theme perhaps?!? LOL

There is no better friend than a sister and there is no better sister than you.

Photo to come!

More Sewing from Miss E

In the last term at school, Miss E had a few days off because she was contagious... but not overly unwell... so she pestered me to sew until I said yes.  

And this is what she did:

Stripey one side...

But patchwork the other!

Her very own patchwork quilt!

And believe it or not, but the ONLY things I did for her was to make a 30 cm square template, and show her how to construct it... That is all... Yep, she did the entire thing by herself - cutting, pinning, sewing, joining both sides!

She's even made another one out of flannel for a 1st birthday gift for a friends little girl.

And apparently I'm going to get one too :)

It's a great way to use up the fabric I have just sitting here taking up space!

I wonder what will be next... 

Very Craft Holidays Part 2

Oooops, it's taken me a while to get back to Part 2 hasn't it!

Oh well, better late than never :)

So, today you'll see what the girls got up to over the holidays...

We made plaster Easter Eggs!

Which were meticulously painted... and divided into which belonged to which artist!

But once they were dry, the girls decided they needed tails, and were actually MICE!  Here's the finished project... living in a city made for them too  :)

And the next phrase for my blackboard in the kitchen is...

Now I'm off to redo the blackboard!
