Knock Backs

This is a bit of a tricky post for me to write - I think it's easier to put a positive face on when you're blogging, to make a post when things are going well and remain silent when things aren't so great.

Sometimes the "not so great" is something small and petty, and not worthy of mention, hence the silence. And sometimes it's something too big and personal and important to try and express in a few lines of type sent blissfully off to sit on some server somewhere, with millions of others like them.

Without context, however, the silence sounds the same. 

Having a post schedule to follow is helpful in such occasions too - rather than just sitting down and sharing whatever is on your heart, mind or camera, you have things saved up to share when your life goes off the rails.

Sorry, this is all a trifle ambiguous (and possibly self indulgent) but wrapped up in all the "not saying" is that things are back on track and I hope (once again) to get back to posting more often. And who knows. Maybe one of these days I'll work up the guts to actually say something in one of them. :)

Rainbows!

Hello! 

Things have been quiet on my blog for the past few months, but, as is always the case, this may be due to things getting busy, and me being too caught up in what's happening to even think of recording it. 

So! What's my excuse this time? Well, I got married.

Flowers by Wild, Cork (they Smelt AMAZING) 

Someone wished me much happiness, unicorns and rainbows for my wedding. Things have been sadly lacking in unicorns, but two out of three isn't bad.

Happy New Year Everybody! 

More posts soon, honest!

Picking Favourites.

I've been (slowly...) chugging away at this 30 Day Drawing Project for the last few months. (At this rate it's going to be a 30 week Drawing Project... or maybe even 30 Years?) The first few ideas were easy enough to deal with, but then came the business of picking a FAVORITE animal. Then a favorite food, film, T.V. program, book, sweet...

Day 9, Favorite TV show (The I.T. Crowd!)

I must confess, I'm not entirely comfortable with this whole "favorite" lark. It smacks of favoritism! (see what I did there?) How can I just choose one favorite book or film? Besides, I don't really have things that are my favorite for any length of time. My favorites change over time and vary according to my mood, so the idea of immortalizing my current favorite anything makes me a bit squirmy. I mean, what if my favorite food is something really embarrassing in 10 years time?

Left: Day 6, Favorite Book (The Ordinary Princess)   Right: Day 4 Favorite Place 

 But, a drawing challenge has been embarked upon. Drawings must be made. 

Day 3, Favorite Food (Asian Spiced Salmon with noodles and sauce)

 And if choosing one is too hard, who is to say I can't draw two? (or more?)

Day 8, Favorite Animated Character(s!) Spike Speigel and Sailor Jupiter

 So am I the only person who resists choosing favorites? Also, if you have any favorite books, films to TV shows to share I'd love to hear it - Who knows, maybe it'll be my new favorite too!

P.S. About the knitting in the last post? It got Frogged. Lesson: I hate Nupps. 

Doodles. And stuff.

As I haven't really been crafting recently,I haven't really been posting to this Blog. But having said that I have been making... stuff. So I'm going to blow the proverbial dust off this blog and start using it again. Rather than making an whole new one. (I was going to make a whole new one. It was going to be called "You are Smart" but then I realized that the title would conflict with the content.)

So yes. Expect Doodles and the like.

Whoop.
