School holidays re still in full force and so daily finger painting sessions are keeping us all occupied. Which is fine with me as lately inspiration has been vary rare. I go in my lovely room ( which I need to make use of as soon it turns in to Tylers first bedroom) and stare at all my supplies and I get blanc. Even writing this is leaving me with blankness. Seems I work better under pressure these days - IM hanging out for the new theme on craftsters and I miss try it Tuesdays. So if your reading - give me a theme, even just one word and we will see if we can get it moving along.
I did try paper beads though and made some very beautiful ones, with embossing on some and a thick clear glaze so they were beautiful and shiny, but I sacrificed them to the name of piece, Tyler fell in love with them and he likes to sit down and put them back on the DPNs that they were made on. This can take a whole 15 minutes up, which if you know my Tyler is a big chunk of time for him!!
My lovely pink elephant has arrived from One Red Robin , and His royal majesty has taken over. He is lovely and Im feeling very blessed. I was also ROAKed ( random acts of kindness) by some one at crochetville, and from Texas came THREE new crochet hooks. Perfect timing as my mind starts to wander to a much wanted winter - enough heat already!!
I was tagged by the lovely Miss Violet so
6 WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME
* stickers, small scrunched up papers ( bus tickets, dockets etc) and lolly wrappers make me want to throw up, I cant concentrate If I see one, my mind is fixated on it, and I have to get someone to remove it, and if I have to touch it I have to wash my hands but its still not enough to remove it from my fingers so I rub my fingers on my pants or a cloth to get rid of what ever sensation is there for at least 20 minutes on and off. I can concentrate on stickers and dockets if they come straight from the person or packet and then put down and not touched, which Josh is grateful for as he likes stickers and sometimes he cant get them off the backing with out ripping.
* My matriarchal side of the family have just about every mental illness covered ( now number one make sense doesn't it ;) ).
*I believe in spirits and aliens ( are we humans pigheaded enough to believe that in all the galaxies etc , we are as smart as it gets!?!)
*I still sometimes get afraid of the dark
*I hate feet, including my own.
* Im terrified of new things, esp the thought of when I have to go back to work, Im afraid cause its unknown. Though a great part of my life is spent trying to get over this.
And now you all have confirmation that I'm mental, but its ok, Im a friendly mental that doesn't bite! I cant think of any one I have to tag, so if you read this, feel free!!

Happy new year! Wow, 2007 - anyone else remember how that would sounded so futuristic in the 80's.
This year started of with a bang - actually several, we were lucky enough to have passes to garden island ( a navy base thing) in Sydney - with the most amazing view - plus less crowds and good parking, and we watched the fireworks with glee, But then proceeded to get so lost on the way home that the 40 minute trip - took 3 and a half hours - bet you think Im exaggerating - but Im not - very unfortunately.
This is the year of the Sarah I have decided and its dedicated to not putting my self last. I am pretty special and deserve to feel like it, I wont feel guilty when I buy more material, I will spend time crafting and not feel guilty, try new things, say no, but say yes, and most importantly give my self permission to make mistakes.
Im going to not let what I think other people think of me (which I willing to put money on the they dont think that, it just my own paranoia)
My new year is already showing signs of being lucky - I was lucky enough to win the Pink elephant pillow from One Red Robin .
I am feeling very blessed and cant wait to get my beautiful elephant in the mail.
