If I have made something for the boys in the evening, I love to put it on the kitchen table before creeping up the stairs to bed. This morning it was this little pink creature and for Archie, it was love. Hopefully tomorrow morning there will be a tiny mouse on the table for Hugo.
My creative space needs three things:
Little things seem to be coming from my hands all stigmata-like at the moment. I have decided temporarily against world domination, taken a bit of pressure off and am now just having fun experimenting with everybodys birthday presents. Archie has a friend who loves bugs and insects so I have made her a doctor kit (maybe I should make myself a psychology kit, I quite like analysing friends and giving them unsolicited advice - for free what a bargain!).
Here is something that filled me with a bit of cheer. A bowl that not only provides safe harbour to beads but also reaches out its sides in prayer, catching the sun as it streams through the glass.
I have so many unfinished projects floating around and an affliction called 'sudden onset of buttery craft fingers' where every time I pick something up I just happen to make it a little worse. It's kind of like a creative adolescence where everything I do is just a little awkward. I am hoping this stage will go quickly... so far it has been around for a week. Maybe it's a transition stage and there is something new and amazing waiting for me on the other side. Oh well, better go and push through the membranes of life and find the light waiting for me.
As I have mysteriously been hinting, I am about to have a big giveaway to celebrate Greedy For Colour's 200th post.... (can you believe it, finally my little blog is growing up) and also to revel in opening my first online shop ever! All you have to do is leave a comment below telling about a time you have been really, really greedy, so greedy in fact that it is a little known story and possibly, your mama doesn't even know about it. I have to admit, I will be looking for the best anecdote so dig deep into your worst (and funniest) self.
I had so many questions about Hugo's blackboard stickers I thought I had better do a post on them. They were on sale (in New Zealand) in a shop called 'dog's breakfast trading company'. Looking at their label I have noticed they have an online store too. I think they are the bargain of the year, $9.95 down to $4.95, I also bought these pillowcases for $3.95 each. Don't you just love a good buy (and not the kind that leaves you feeling a little hollow later when you realise that sure the earmuffs were cheap but it just doesn't get that cold in the Bay of Plenty...). Later on this afternoon I will be announcing the giveaway so hover awkwardly but still enjoy your weekend.
