Well it has been a busy weekend, I completely emptied my studio, repainted the floor and the walls! I never realised I had so much stuff! Still it was a useful exercise I now know how much stuff I have and where it all is! Surprisingly, I sorted it all out and only got rid of one small box!

Today I created a collage, mostly in pink, as a way of some inspiration.

I have spent the day painting my studio, painting the walls a nice fresh white. It is a good time to sort everything out, and boy have I collected a lot of stuff! The only trouble with stuff is it fills any space you give it!

Had the all clear from the hospital today, no chrons disease! Just a sensitive tummy! No more white bread!! However, I did get weighed and was incredibly shocked to find I am just over ten stone!!! time to do something about it! I have the book bon idle to body idle, will have to see how it goes! The trouble with long summer holdiays is that I just want to eat more!!!

I am trying to exercise more, I have even gone swimming  a bit, but it doesn’t see to have made much of a difference. Still I will have to do all the measurements tomorrow and see where we go from here!

This is part of my studioI have wanted to blog for a while, and now I have managed it!

So what about me? Well, I was forty this January, I have two teenagers (both now left school) and feel so excited that my life is just begining!

 I am studying a degree in Education, will hopefully graduate in 2009! After that I would like to be a teacher, (probably ICT, as I love computers!)

I have a little studio at the bottom of my garden, and I like to do lots of things, sewing, patchwork, emboidery. As well as scrapbooking, cardmaking, painting and writing. My latest craze is crochet, I have just learnt how to do it and I love the fact that you can just pick it up and create a lovely motif in a matter of minutes! I have managed to make a phone cover, which I won third prize at the local show! (I need to add that there were only three entrants!!) Will tell you more about entering the show another time!

I think my only problem is that I seem to do too much! I often go into my studio and don’t know where to start! Still I think it is so important to have a creative space, somewhere you can go, get everything out and just walk away and carry on the next day – knowing that it will be just as you have left it! Not only that, when you are studying having a room where you can just switch off and concentrate on what you are doing!

Well that is about all for now, will hopefully write more soon!
