Falling in love again

 

It took just one weekend visiting bath
to take a mental step back - switch off - to be switched right back on - to creativity

Of late I have been in a bubble
with the task at hand being so all consuming that I could only glance at the world swirling around me

Sometimes I wish that blogging could be totally honest
and take comfort that I have decided to draw the line
yet - visually - like the image above - I feel it is fine to share an image of how I felt in my bubble

I thought I could never ever turn off my creativity
but I literally had to - and boy - I cannot tell you how that felt

Just not good for the soul

Many of us are having to living in the same kind of bubbles
although
in a different light, with a different perspective
with hope, energy and a short time of resetting the battery
everything can look all the more beautiful

Thus from beautiful views
with the blink of our eyes
captured in the camera of our minds
we develop the very start of fresh, new creative journeys

Things I rather like - right here, right now

As you know by now I always save images through my week - that I just catch my eye
and rather sum up what is part of my world right now

So ..... join me in a random image dump of what I rather like - right here, right now

Making plans to change my hair

As I head into my !!!!! 39th !!!!! year
I always have radical thoughts of how to change my hair

It will never happen - I am just a wash and throw up on my head kind of girl
but it is fun to make dream hair plans
(straight for one week would be fun)

Tall men (man) ...... you know who you are ;)

Good Homely food

I have a crazy soup thing going on right now

and I find myself sitting for hours watching cooking programmes

and reading food blogs ..... visit Food Coma - Emma is so cool

Keeping ideas books and scrap books makes me feel so arty - well I guess I am ;)

Potting, pottering and getting ready for spring

Not sure that I could even look remotely as cool as this

Blossom is sprouting from my tree - always makes me smile - warm sunny times to come

Change is Good for the Soul

Of late I have not been blogging as much as I love to

Life has been fab, tricky and a little stuck in a groove of a very heavy workload

Let's happily call it ..... laying the foundations, and also I guess awaking from the hiberation of Winter

This year I plan to make MANY changes
step out of my comfort zone
feel scared, excited and even more alive

The voice (and person) that speaks so much sense to me
has made me realise that I do like the comfort of my nest, but can wear it sometimes as a comfort blanket

I have butterflies in my tummy, and a smile in my heart ..... changing times ahead ..... eeeeek

All the luck in the world

All the Luck in the World
makes me smile every time I visit

There is always a fab combo of turquoise and pink to be found
..... my favourite colour combo

On the street where I lived

Many moons ago I lived here - on this very street

If you walked about 500 steps (ish) - you ended up here

We all used to hang out (ALOT) and 'DO' coffee - we thought we were so cool - ha ha

..... and we used to browse and shop here - Snoopers Paradise

The place fascinated me so much ..... and I wonder why I love vintage so much now

Seems Brighton still has so many lovely memories

Mmmmm Salad

To anyone who is on a diet and a bit fed up by now of salad
take a tip from me - pop some flowers on and just smile at your food

It still tastes the same and you will still hanker after a Mars Bar
but they do make meal times rather pretty

I myself - am not on a diet - diets make me sad ;)
but I will be prettying up my food with flowers this year anyway

The Story of Two Little Poppets

There once were two little poppets

Lolly Bebs and Brendy Bobbins

There mummys are twinnys and they were born 5 days apart
and grew up so close ..... they were the cutest little pair

The little girl .....

grew up to be my fabby sister who I love with all my heart

and the little boy ..... one of THE BESTEST three cousins I could wish for

My sister has returned to the UK (yay!!!!!) from her travels to teach

and Brendy is now at the other side of the world having so much fun in Oz

Now they seem all grown up

Yet photos will keep wonderful memories of the past safe

Time flies by so quickly
but you two will always be the sweetest pair

Tonight I am keeping happy memories close to my heart

Phew

Things are getting very busy here
BUT
all is under control

LISTS ..... they are my new buddies at the moment
and really do help me to keep calm
and get loads more done

and it is way more fun creating a place to pop your notes

and order new notepads from Papaya
