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!

White Please!

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

How to Make ... Washi Tape!

Are you like me and just can't bring yourself to spend a lot of money on things that even though they are really pretty, will probably just sit there for ages without use? 

I've always loved the look of washi tape but find it so expensive and hard to justify. So, I decided to get creative and make my own.. 

All you need is some double sided tape and tissue paper! Too easy!

Day 4: Greeting Card

Hello... After some thinking on what to do, I decided to do something easy and fun for today's creativeness. I already had the paper left over from some other cards I made (it is 100% handmade) and have always liked sewing and buttons on paper... so here it is, a Thank You card!

I would like to do some other posts, rather than just the 30 Days of Creativity ones... so stay tuned for those! Not sure when I will get the chance... but .. I will try :)

Day 3: Sketch

Well... I have to admit that I am struggling to find quick little creative things I can do. I usually leave the challenge until the end of the day and by that time I am tired and don't feel like doing anything more. 

Today I did a sketch with charcoal and soft pastels. The edges are a little cut off... stoopid scanner

What I really wanna get good at is watercolour but every time I try it doesn't look good... I think I always put too much colour. I'll try that another day.
