Feeling a little lonely

This little blog started as a creative outlet for me. I didn't really think that many people would be interested in reading it and I didn't think that I had much to say. Well, funnily enough, there are a few people reading my words and I normally find that I can think of something to write about. Hah! Who would have thought!
It's a little scary when you don't know who your readers are and why they're reading your words. I know I'm choosing to write this blog and this means that my words are available 24/7, no privacy, no holds barred... but it's still weird. Maybe I'm showing my Gen X true colours!

I know this makes me sound 100 years old, but I still sometimes can't get my head around the depth and breadth of social media and even just the internet in general, and how it has revolutionalised how we live; how we access & share information, how we communicate and how we work.

After saying all of that, it's time to let you know that I'm feeling a little lonely in my blogging world. I think I need someone else, or maybe a few someone elses, to write me a little comment and say hello.

So... go on, be brave and leave me a comment. I promise it won't hurt and it will actually make me feel pretty darn good!

More time for creativity

I just can't wait until the long weekend officially starts, for many reasons but one BIG reason; lots of creative time.

I want to finish my present for new baby Felix. Here's a little sneak peek at what I'm working on for him:

I also really want to start my new vintage project, as this is all I have managed so far:

I had a dream the other night that I had finished knitting the back of this jumper; wishful thinking!

So, one more work day until the lovely long Easter and Anzac weekend; I think I'll just make it! We're going away for 2 nights to Hepburn Springs and my plans are to read, knit, eat, sleep, blog, walk M dog (yep, she's coming with us) and thoroughly enjoy myself. I've been reflecting the last few days on how lovely it would be if I had more time to spend indulging my creative side.  I read so many other wonderful blogs and am envious at the time some of these creative souls have to indulge in their passions. Or maybe they just use their time better than me. (Pause and reflect...)

In other knitting news, I came across a previous project last weekend. I visited a girlfriend and her 1 year old daughter was wearing the little summer cardy that I made for her.

It's always really lovely to see one of your pieces being used and enjoyed. Thanks, Joey, for remembering and for valuing the gift.

So now M dog and I are settling in for a night on the couch; we were about to head out for a walk but it started raining. She's not impressed, but she'll be happy enough sitting alongside me while I catch up on some creative time.
