Monday 10th AEDM

Well I got my knitting finished today - which I am very happy about - Don't know if it is very clear but I have knitted a teddy bear. It is off in the post tomorrow to my wonderful Mum who will sew and stuff her for me. All three girls have made requests for one so keep a eye out as they will be appearing here when they are finished.

INCHY BY INCH - this weeks theme was all things that glitter - so I made my inchy by knitting an inch square out of glittery wool - only because I could - no other reason why.

HAPPY CREATING

Back in the land of Computers

Hello everyone

It feels like ages since I have added to my blog but it has only been a week.

Lots of art work for this entry - Art Every Day Month has started so here are my works.

Saturday 1st - On this day I started making teddy cards - I finished them on Sunday so look further down for picture of them.

Sunday 2nd - I made butterflies out of small mussel shells - The glue still hasn't set but will show picture when I can.

Monday 3rd - two colours I don't normally use together - lime and peach - interesting affects

Tuesday 4th - just doodles with oil pastels - was at school camp and had some free time while supervising so borrowed the schools pastels and had fun.

Wednesday 5th - tree drawing with oil pastels (same as Tuesday had some free time) - love how you can blend with these.

Thursday 6th - The youngest girl I look after was making bugs with wire at the school camp so I made one as well.

Also wrote some poetry today - haven't finalised it - working progress - will blog when have finished it.

Friday 7th - worked on Christmas inchies for swap - will not post as don't want to spoil the surprise at the other end..

Saturday 8th - Finished all of my teddy cards today - Made these two as extras - will be pinned on my board after I add a quote.

Sunday 9th - Finished my inchies and ATC's for my Christmas swap - again will not be posting as it will spoil the surprise.

Now for today Monday 10th - I am knitting today - hopefully I will finish what I am making so I can show you all tomorrow.

Happy Creating

Inchy by inch take 2

Hi ladies

Thanks for letting me know that you couldn't see thye inchy's clearly - hopefully this is clearer as I could see them clearly at my end.

Just a quick close up of the beads that I added to my journal at the moment. Just adds a bit more visual to the journal.

Painting Course Now

Have a great week see you all around the 10th.

HAPPY CREATING.

Wednesday Already

HI Everyone

I can't believe it is the middle of the working week already..It's nearly the start of Novemeber.....Next it will be Christmas Day....Where do the days go?????

Made this Inchy by Inch -

Was reading about Koalas so I thought I might try drawing one - this was quite funny - the middle girl I look after joined in with me and I think her koala's turned out better then mine (not shown) - still I like my attempts

One drawn in inch square was drawn to see if I could - no other reason for it.

I love May Gibbs and here stories Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. I saw these leaves yesterday and thought I would write on them like the Gumnut people do - it was more fun then I thought it would be.

That's all for today - I will be away for the next week so this will be my last post until the 10th of November - unless I find the time at home to post - It will be a busy post as I will have a week of creative things as Creative Everyday Month starts on Saturday - Looking forward to seeing what other people are doing for there creative month.

Till next time

Enjoy the rest of you week

Is there such a thing as a "NORMAL DAY"

Gotta Love technology - can't really complain as it works when it wants to - not necessarliy when it suits me...

Couple of creativness from last weeks creativity.

I created this page in my journal that I am using at the moment. "H" was throwing out the puzzle pieces and I thought I could do something with them - this is what I ended up with - each puzzle piece has things about me then in amoungst the pieces I have doodled pictures. I am happy with how it turned out.

I had made these clay pieces a while back. I painted them on Friday and now they are sitting on my desk.

The banana was created for "Cheeky" - the school room mascot and guard monkey - the girls thought he would get hungry over the weekends so I made the banana for him - the girls think that Cheeky likes his banana...What do you think

The roses that I had photographed last week had started to die off so I trimmed them all off, for "H" - I kept the petals so the girls and I can make something with the once they have dried out - I was taking all the middle pieces out and dropping them into the bucket - this is what I saw when I had finished - don't know why but looking at this seemed to be relaxing for me.

Rose Petals - I sat out the front of the house at work and kept running my hand through the petals listening to the rainbow birds calling out to each other and watching the day come to an end - It was soooo relaxing.

Didn't do any on Saturday or Sunday as I didn't have the time - I was home for a total of 4 hours (not including sleeping time) over the whole weekend - doesn't allow time for creativity - espically when house work needs to be done.

MONDAY ACTIVITIES

The girls found a bat in the pool this afternoon while they were swimming. I am not a fan of bats but I couldn't let the little thing drown. After he had dried off the girls let him go - they wanted him for a pet and both "H" and I said NO!!!

Had better go and do some work
Till next time

Wednesday and Thursday Creativity

Cold morning to everyone - I am sitting here in my winter clothes and my slippers on typing this on this very fresh Friday Morning.

Lots of creativity going on with some unexpected card making and pet rocks.

I have enrolled in a painting course on the computer and it started yesterday morning. We made a colour wheel. Mine isn't how the teacher made hers (as I haven't watched the whole lesson yet) but I like the colours in it just the same.

Mixing of colours - creating new ones - experimenting with different blends - watching the new colours unfold

These cards (which were unexpected) were created with the left over paint from the colour wheel. I loved the pale colours and just couldn't bring myself to wash the down the sink, so made these cute cards instead. Have only one left to give (can't decide who to) but those who have recieved them they made their day.
The school rooms new pet - He is very small but he sits on the tray tub on my desk watching everything that is going on. The young girl loves to collect rocks and she gave me this one ages ago and it has been sitting on my desk, so on Wednesday I decided to add a face to it and make him into a pet.
He sits on the tray tubs with the elephant and giraffe.

One thing I like to look at is freshly sharpened coloured pencils - they look to good to use.

Had better go and start school - can't believe it is already the end of week two. Feels like only yesterday we started the school term.

Happy Friday.....
