Making Hay
November 5, 2009
… is what I’ve been doing.
The whole family is well and happy so I’m nudging projects forward…
… and trying, but failing dismally, to resist starting a new one…
The apple pie above is from a newly discovered village bakery and was wickedly good with vanilla yoghurt. So good in fact that I couldn’t help taking several pics, and taunting Mark with them when he arrived home, apple pie is his favourite, hehe.
I enjoyed every crumb whilst contemplating these freud-esque ink blots that I make when I’m testing new inks. So there I sat… I wondered, I thought, I dreamed a little and voila! An idea, a cunning plan, a wicked scheme sprang to mind on how to use them. Gotta love when that happens!
…or two.
It’s ‘christmas on a stick’ when all your books arrive from Amazon and the postie actually waits at the gate to give them to you rather than flicking a card at your letterbox and legging it like an Olympic sprinter. Fantastic! Ok time to get cracking on that teeny quilt.
For lots more crafty peeps throw yourself into the creative space mosh pit over at Kirsty’s. It’s *awesome!*

Love your photos, particularly the swirly, curly, ink blot…. and who can pass up a slice of yummy apple pie! You’re making me hungry just looking. Can’t wait to see what creative purpose you put those blots too.

Not sure what looks better- the ink blot or the apple pie. I could taste it from here. Love your space- glad you found me so I could find you! xo Meagan.
