Update

Well, I am alive and well and am in NY :)
I was hoping to be able to keep up with my 30 days of creativity but we have been doing soooooo much every day and have had absolutely no time at all! The spare moments have been spent trying to get sleep and adjust to USA time.

We started off in Chicago and were there for 3 days. We did a walking tour of the amazing architecture around the city and visited the Art Institute of Chicago all in one day while still jet lagged and super tired... Was a very hectic day but enjoyable.

Day 2 we had a free morning so Mr Peck and i went for a walk along the lakefront to Navy Pier and went for a feriswheel ride. Then went to visit some Andrew Lloyd wright Houses including the Robie house. Was very interesting! That night we went to the Signature room in the Hancock building which had an Amazing veiw!!!

Then today we went and saw a few more Wright houses and then hopped on the plane for the short trip to NY.

We just went to eat at Dos Caminos and once again came back Stuffffed!! Servings are so big here!

Sorry for not having photos, I haven't downloaded them yet and I am writing from my iPod! Will try and get some up for you soon.

Tomorrow we are doing a general tour on NY... Can't wait!

Day 22: Bookmark

My mum bought me some giant sized paperclips and they are perfect as bookmarks. I thought I would pretty one up with a little bow. Very cute & easy!

Day 21: Scratch (but don't sniff)

Yes, I'm still in Australia... boooo! We were meant to fly out this morning but due to ash clouds and the like our plane ride got delayed.... tomorrow we fly! For sure hopefully!! First stop Chicago (technically San Francisco.. but that doesn't count!)

Day 20: Shirt Skirt

Yeow. Today our car caught on fire. Everyone is ok. The car is ok. The battery melted and now we have a new one (battery that is). It was kind of scary....!

So for my creative task today I made a skirt from one of Mr Peck's old shirts. Pretty happy with it, the waistband just doesn't sit flat... grrr, always something!!!

But now I have a new skirt and it didn't cost me a cent.. .so that's pretty cool!

Apology for the photos.. it's dark and cold and  yeh.. .hehe I'll try and get some better ones later.


EDIT: Somehow, I got my numbering all out! hehehe this used to be day 18 - it's now day 20, the correct day :)

Day 19: Fingerprints!

Hmmm... Feeling very uninspired and didn't do anything yesterday, so bad! I feel like I've cheated, or lost or something! 

And today I'm not really feeling it either.... Although these fingerprint characters were actually pretty fun to do and came out kinda cute. Would be a great activity to do with kids. I pretty much looked at the shape each fingerprint made and drew what I saw in the irregularities. Also a great exercise to develop your creative thinking skills.

Day 17: Sketch

Today I started making my maxi skirt. So far it's oook, I cut the material on the cross so it's a little odd sewing it up but hopefully it turns out. I just have to sew the elastic into the waste band and hem it... I'll try and finish it on Sunday.

In other news... I just squirted a whole heap of moisturizer over my mouse and mouse pad so I have a moisturizer mouse now. That could be a new trend?! Maybe not....

I just did a sketch to show you, it's for my new website that I showed you the other day to go behind the logo. Enjoy :)

1. The last movie I saw was True Grit.  I enjoyed it all except for the end part, from where she gets bit by a snake (she doesn't really, in case you haven't seen it... *shifty eyes*)  It seemed like the ending was rushed, and the woman is no where near as amazing as the girl.. and he (if you haven't seen it close your eyes) shot the horse :(

2. I want to go to America already!

3. Surprises are super fun and enjoyable! Especially the ones you give others :)

4. The best accessory is a scarf or a belt

5. My favorite warm drink is  hot chocolate or chai tea.

6. My favorite cold drink is depends on what mood I'm in. I love juice. If I feel car sick or sick from not eating breakfast, orange juice for shizz, always makes me feel better (especially Daily Juice, that's pretty much the only good one apart from fresh of course), Fresh apple juice is mmmm, and Almdudler, I haven't had that for aaages :(

7. Currently loving stripes and thick socks.
