step away..

This weekend I had a no computer (and no phone) weekend. And I liked it!

I have been spending unhealthy amounts of time on the computer of late. So, after a DnM with Mr Peck ... (that may or may not have involved some hysterical-ness and crying) I decided enough was enough and stepped away from the computer. I am going to try and keep away from it a lot more as well. It's a creativity zapper. It doesn't feel like it when you are constantly looking at other people's blogs and ideas and pinterst... but ultimately, when you are doing that all the time, when is there time to do your own thing? For me, there wasn't any. 

So... here's me saying I'm taking time off from blogging so much, and I'm banning myself from pinterest hehe.. nooooooooo! But true.

Here's what I got up to when I didn't have the computer to inhibit me.

* ceramic characters... (still to be dried etc)

* recycled jar into candle holder.

* Aaand... a whole lot of knitting!

Fill 'em in.

1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a shop keeper, teacher, nurse, farmer, hairdresser when I grew up. 
2. As an adult, my dream job would be a shop owner, stylist of all things (clothes, interior, shoots), apartment stager. 
3. When I was younger I wanted to be just like my sister. 
4. The childhood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was  (I've never done Halloween.. No done here is Australia much.. and if it was, I wouldn't do it anyway... ... .. . .I'm not much for silly festive days .. or ones that are pagan in origin. 
5. My favourite childhood toy was the sandpit and cubby house.. Making mud 'ice chocolate' and mud pies was the best :)
6. The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when my brother and I were playing with a tennis ball inside (tiles.. who can resist a good indoor game of handball?!) and we broke my dad's really expensive glass measuring flask thing... we were probably 15ish haha.. oops.
7. I get daily inspiration from pinterest, blogs, my husband, Real Living magazine.. life.

I forgot how much I love UP! I was watching it while I did my knitting.. So cute. My favourite quote is: 

"I was hiding under your porch because I love you!" - Dug

And all through the movie I was thinking of this. This guy is so clever!

And... While you listen, here are a few of my recent pins

Oh man. I want this bad! Such a brilliant idea - a journal with white lines!

Packaged.

Just wanted to say, I'm a little bit excited about the package pal project!

In just under a month I get to show you what I got and what I sent.

Here's a sneak preview of what I am sending (hopefully today... maybe tomorrow)

Can't wait to see what I get, and my pals reactions to what I'm sending! I looove getting mail, and packages are even better!
