On the go

-
Hi all, 

Thankfully this week has been a bit less chaotic and I hope I can resume my old habits of posting on Tuesday nights. The other night I was thinking if anyone was to ask me, "Why do you post mostly on Tuesday nights" I was thinking how would I respond to that. And I thought. Well. I use to (and still do) love World of Warcraft and shutdown (for maintenance) nights use to be on Tuesday nights, so this way once the servers go down people can unwind by reading my blog =) hehe. 

Anyway, hopefully a recurring theme has been happening over the past few weeks and months of my posts, and that theme should hopefully be ... CREATIVITY!

If not.. here is another example of creativity, but this time.. on the go!

My Mummu, Mum and myself went to the shops just the other day and on our way inside we could see ahead there were those ‘centre of the isle salespeople’. This time it was two males, and it appeared to be something orientated for winning a car. Immediately I knew my Mummu and Mum would not be interested, and they would no doubt presume me to fill in the role of gently saying “not interested.”
Well, the young salesman greeted us with a loud (but not overbearing) voice, saying, “For you ladies in blue (yes, it seemed we decided to wear blue today! Funny how that happens, unplanned.) Do I have a deal for you!
I simply responded to the young man saying, “That is a lovely rhyme you have but no thank you.” In turn he thanked for my compliment.

I was thinking how a moment of customer service or brief interaction with a stranger can evoke a moment of creativity. Sure, some people have more of a natural talent and gift for thinking on their feet. But I still feel anyone can do something creative. And perhaps given the field of interest to each individual maybe anyone could creatively think on their feet?

I do often enjoy a sweet rhyme myself, and afterwards I thought shucks, I should have replied to the salesman, “That is a nice rhyme, but we haven’t the time.”

I hope you all have a lovely week ahead and embrace the moments you have! Find something to really include your personality and touch to the moment, that is a way of sharing your creativity with the world. 

See you next week!

So Many Jars - Part 2

Hi All,  Well, it appears after clearing out some small baby food jars, from the last time I mentioned these. I found another place I had stored some jars and thought what is something different I could do to utilise these jars. Hmm..  Well, turns out I found something indeed, and now I am unsure if I would like to give the set away or keep it myself haha. For this crafty project you will need; ·        3 baby food jars, preferably the same size ·        Hot glue gun + extra glue gun sticks ·        3 alternative materials, I used paddle pop sticks, wooden pegs and cinnamon bark tea ·        Scissors ·        Pen With the required items gathered, this is the how to guide in assembly. Jar 1 – First off I decided to cut the paddle pop sticks into two different lengths. After I decided on the lengt...

Last minute Christmas Gift wrapping

Hi All! IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS! I hope you all have finished your Christmas shopping, creating, decorating, crafting, baking and anything else that could fit in that list! For us Christmas is already happening. Seeing some people here and there and on this day and that day. Gifts here, laughter and fun over there. For those of you who are pumping out the last few things, in these last few moments or the last day. Here’s some last-minute gift-wrapping tricks and ideas I’ve got. Hopefully throughout the year you may have collected some cereal boxes. These are great for other crafts too – and not just with kids! (New year’s resolution idea maybe? Keep cereal boxes for future craft and gift-wrapping ideas!) I remove the tabs off the top of the cereal box so there is an opening, then wrap the box up with Christmas Paper. Next for a finishing touch using washi tape around the edges of the opening. Then using a hole puncher, press two holes for each side where you can use a match...

For the ... Warcraft

I am a BIG fan of the Warcraft merchandise. My husband and I play the World of Warcraft games, though haven’t been following the latest expansion with as much detail as the previous games. So, we had been preoccupied with some other games (to Blizzard’s horror) but thankfully Blizzard perked our interest when we heard of the re-release for the original classic World of Warcraft. Also known as “Vanilla WoW”. Once I heard about the re-release my actual response was “what? no way?!” So, this post is for my excitement toward the classic game! I had some many years ago (while, yes, being obsessed with the game) purchased from a seller on Etsy some warcraft photocopy prints made onto fabric. I had kept these over the years unsure of how to use them in a project. But when I heard about the definite release of Classic WoW, a project immediately came to mind. Afterall, one want’s to be comfy during game play, right? Soo… A pillow! I used the four square pictures by sewing them int...
