I just know you're going to be back on form soon - water finds its own level after all. x
I'm not sure what I do ... but I think you should let yourself off the hook and [dare I say 'go with the flow'? ...;-)]
Your blogging is showing no sign of being creatively weary! So maybe, while in that beautiful chair you'll really recognise your wonderful transition from traditional crafting - with tangible materials - to being creative 'virtually'.
How this happens ...
Ever noticed this? You hear of a place, a name, a word you're holding in mind and, suddenly, it seems to be everywhere. Funny how this happens ... This time of year, every few years, I become weary: not just healthily tired but deep-down-right-into-the-bone weary. I know I am not alone in this...
What a beautiful gesture - and pendant. Just lovely.
Christmas Tree Upcycling into Jewelry & Gift Tags
Thank you all for your sweet comments on my last post about losing and finding my ring. This was the first year we had a tree for the holidays. All years past we had a wee rosemary bush that we planted in the yard after the holidays but this year my son really wanted a proper cut tree. I agre...
Oh Alexa - your wrapping is so you! Just lovely. I've been wondering whether to make my tags again this year ... but you know how I struggle with simple ... I'm going to try and apply your process somehow though!
WOYW Wednesday
What's on my workdesk ... Remember that very 90s phrase "cash-rich and time-poor"? And its soul-mate "cash-poor and time-rich?"? Well, I was thinking today that I am probably not the only one pitching their tent in the "cash-poor and time-poor" camp this December. Not one to think about Christm...
:-) I think it's a credit to you that you've kept yourself a restful haven amid the throng. It's great that you're still finding time to connect with your friends online too - sure proof that you're not going to go under! xx
WOYW Wednesday
Pardon? said Himself. What does that stand for? Wring Out Your Washing? Wipe Over Your Worktops? Whingeing Over Your Weetabix? Yes, well, whingeing on Wednesdays is not unknown in this house. However, Julia started it over here, the What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. And on mine today? Well, he...

Love this! Am *so* pleased my Months In Numbers helped in some small way, it's a fabulous read.
I think you deserve a new carpet [at least] after all that. And ... did you remember to get any biscuits?

It's all Numbers - for an hour anyway...
With some trepidation, I started another class this week - I use the word trepidation advisedly because my record of finishing classes is not good. The first prompt was to reply to questions you are frequently asked; but since I can't remember when I was last asked a question that wasn't of the ...
Beautiful page and thoughts Alexa. Am feeling the section about knowing what's yours and others at the moment too.
You deserved to be on the receivng end of our friendship + support ... it was most definitely your turn.

Writing on Monday ...
Hello! and thank-you to all of you who, with such kindness, left me helpful and supportive messages when last Friday's post just didn't happen, and to Julie, Helen, and Sian whose posts touched me deeply. Thank-you all so much again ... Today I am here, recovering and reviewing, and using the ...
Beautiful Alexa.
To where shall I bring my bucket of warm soapy water and willing hands for the metaphorical hull cleaning? x
Resting ...
Thank-you for all your thoughtful comments on Monday on how you are meeting October - some feeling in quieter mood, others fired up with energy for the 25th December... Wonderful, how different we are! This time of year, in my childhood, we would be dragged out (as it felt to us) for 'a walk in ...
What a lovely page, makes me really want to go and scrap/capture/document something [anything] about my week too. :-D
p.s: I think he's settling in already, and why wouldn't he?

4 on Friday (8)
Gosh, it's two months since I started 4 on Friday - only another eight to go ... This week's experimenting with four simple photo/journalling spaces and a title has, as its subject, a new member of our household - and to whom I'd like to introduce you. But first (drum roll, please!), a warm welc...

How wonderful Alexa. Sounds like you've chilled out, topped-up and drifted away in the most beautiful of places. x
Not scrapping, even simply ...
This weekend, I did no scrapping. There was no cleaning up the plaster dust, no coping with the building chaos, no trying to pretend we still had a garden instead of a workmen's yard. Instead, this weekend, I got knit back together again. It started here, in the mist and fine rain ... Then a...
That page is amazing. I love everything about it; the lettering backrounds; the dashed line stamps; the bow around the journaling .... all of it. Much gorgeousness x
it's only words and words are all I have...
I wanted to set myself a bit of challenge this month and whilst perusing my bookshelves for inspiration I found myself pausing in front of my rather large Agatha Christie collection. 'Words', I thought; millions of words on a page all creating their own unique pattern. My challenge was born, co...
Good luck. Let's hope all those other things were just there to distract you from your big [good]news. x
It's a red letter day... and I'm seeing red
Butter wouldn't melt, would it, Harry? They say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do, right? Today we should find out if we are going to be granted the mortgage we need to buy our prospective new house in Eastbourne. We have been waiting weeks for this decision.. it's be...
Here's mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nabview/3716886154/ I always planned to do something with my tweets ....thanks for the push!

Amazing Stamping School Miss!
If we weren't friends I'd either worship you or just glare at you while envying your talents. Come to think of it, I might still do that ;)
p.s: don't pick me out at random!
Stamping School :: Clay play + giveaway
Apparently, I'm on a quest to Banana-Frog as many different surfaces as possible. Don’t get me wrong - paper and cardstock are fantastic, but somehow I can’t help seeking out the ‘I wonder if…?’ option instead. So far, I’ve posted projects stamped on plastic, wood, fabric, ribbon, magnets, and...
Love the acid colours! You're really making me wish I had heat-embossing equipment .... I may have to succumb :)
Project of the Day :: Arrow Magnets
I’ve just moved house, which means (please don’t hate me) I finally get my own workspace. A whole room, just for making stuff – such bliss! One of the first things I’m planning to do is buy a pot of magnetic paint and completely coat a wall so I can fix notes, reminders, photos and inspirational...
