Results!!

Here are the fruits of my labour from my unplugged day. I got off to a late start. I think the thought of not being able to check e-mail with my coffee kept me lingering in bed! I was also sorta disoriented and not sure where to start so I did did faff about a bit. But once I got going things went swimmingly!

A layout for the Overlooked challenge


More cases for Moo cards



Trying out perfect binding ideas. Collage sheets and stamps are all by Alpha Stamps


A gardening apron. This one I started on Friday and finished today. The ticking, collage fabric and ribbons are from Alpha Stamps. I'll try to get a better photo of it outside tomorrow.



Mind you it wasn't easy, I was constantly drawn to the computer, like a magnet. But once the day was over and I did check in I realised it was all worth it since my fears of missing out were not realised! Everything was still there, waiting for me. I'm hoping that this will help me to be more focuded in the weeks ahead. And I am considering making it a weekly thing. One day, unplugged from it all, to focus, create and recharge.

Quick Monday post

Just a little update on my recent projects. Make a thing a day is going pretty well, though some days I have to do two projects to catch up because I spent the previous day out with friends or taking photos, or lets be honest, just being lazy!

This layout was done for the French blog ScrapNScrap and uses a sketch by Begga Huna



Along with the treat I made for Lucas I also made these cupcakes on Valentine's Day


This little felt clutch was made to hold my Moo calling cards.



And I did this series of mugs based on an idea by Ashley Wren


I'm really enjoying exploring all the different parts of my creativity this month!

Amazing

I actually used my sewing machine for its intended purpose. I don't think this machine has touched fabric in over a year! It's been humming its way through paper and glue mostly. But I finally got out my fabric and quickly stitched up some curtains for the living room.
Of course Naala had to help out.
The fabric is actually from a sari that a good friend gave to me a few years ago. Here's the finished product, and a bit more privacy for us now.
