Another year, maybe a teeny bit wiser

2012 happened along while I was enjoying some time out from regular life. We went back to SA for Christmas which meant most days consisted of food, drinks and swimming or, in my case, watching kids swim while I ate and drank. It was hot, but lovely dry heat, no icky sticky humidity. Melbourne you are not meant to 'do' humidity.

I have to say that most of 2010 and 2011 were fairly crap, with 2012 beginning in the same vein.  However, I am an eternal optimist, so Miss Whizzme and I are slowly getting into new routines, learning from each other and making the most of each day.  I am hoping that new routines might be able to accommodate even a little bit of blogging again. Does the blogosphere really need another amateur blogger?! I guess who cares right?! I'll write now and then, and you can read now and then. Or not.  2012 might not be the year I had planned but dammit it will be the year I practice some better self care.

As I have achieved very little in finished projects I have provided a gratuitous photo I took using hipstamatic. I love that app.

You never know, you might even see me on twitter again too, but mostly I can be found on Pinterest wasting time um, collecting important things.

Welcome

to my new craft room, in my new house.  Hallelujah!  Finally the Whizzme clan are enjoying extra space, gardening, shady trees, new discoveries.  I'm not enjoying the frigging mess that now can be spread further in a bigger house by everyone else in the clan, however, the smiles on all our faces, including Wally the wonder dog is worth it.  (Well, nearly!).  

At this stage only a third of the packing is done, and here you can see the real state of my craft space! 

But at the moment the joy of having a room all of my own (I'm trying to ignore the boxes of shed stuff waiting for the shed to be built) means I can take my time about sorting out what will go where.  Funnily having this room has in fact made me more disorganised (if that is possible) as I unearth half finished projects and recommence, but then get side tracked with reorganising the magazines, to only find a project I had bookmarked to do, so I set off on a hunt for materials which leads to forgotten treasures being discovered, which...  The problem has reached a crisis point and with only five nights(5 nights!!) left to finish school Christmas presents I have decided to have a very stern word with myself and plan this weeks crafting. 

Hmm, I'll let you know how it goes...
