Happy New Year

Genuinely the slowest moving blog on the Internet, and yet the stats show that there is significant traffic, visiting. It's only polite that I update with a post.

So the new year has kicked off with my The Troj's birthday. His 9th in fact. Somebody press pause please. I sometimes want to freeze my kids in time. The incarnation of them now will never exist again. It's not that I don't want them to grow up, I'll just miss this version of them when it's gone.

Happy Birthday my darling boy.

Sewing Machine.

That would be me. And entirely by hand. For the longest time I've had an ongoing love affair with metallics and hot pink, and it most certainly shows in my first real "collection" in 3 years!

 

If you are partial to the little plastic princess known as Blythe and feel the need to spoil her, you can find my dolly couture at my Etsy. Clearly, with my first collection in 3 years, I update my etsy about as often as this blog, but well, you know, I'm working on that ;)

all my friends are online #5 – Pinterest

Apparently women like pretty things. I may be trivializing the true worth of Pinterest, but you only need to take a quick peek around to see that its abundant with a whole lotta pretty. I'm barely surprised that just about everyone following me on Pinterest is female. Pinterest, is like a more accessible, less elite, version of Ffffound. But nonethless useful and relevant bookmarking website that is packed full of inspiring imagery.

In the 6 months I've been on Pinterest, I've seen its popularity grow and grow, and started to notice more of my online fraterati converge from the four corners of my online interests to join Pinterest. You can follow moi or if you are new to Pinterest, I recommend following Joy Cho. With 38 moodboards and over 32,000 followers, that woman is a machine when it comes to posting, and everything she posts is gold.

My bad

If you happen upon this blog and bother to read it, thankyou for taking the time.

If you come back to this blog and discover it hasn't changed, I can only apologise. This blog defies the idea of blogs as a daily journal or commentary.

I genuinely only post when I have something to say or share. And then I need to have time to post whatever it is I need to say or share.

And time, well, I don't have an abundance of that stuff.

So if you come back...lucky you, you came back in the 8 months it took me blog something new. And wa-hey there is something new to read.

If not, see you in 8 months time. :)

Apparently Steven Johnson agrees that all YOUR friends are online too. Lovely video, I'll definitely be buying his book Where Good Ideas Come From.
