A Papier Mache doll, lead by Carole who made this lovely little doll which now sits proudly in my collection, decoupage boxes, pattern drafting and cutting, machine embroidery and we have proposed a boost to all those unfinished projects.<br />
<br />
I have a few challenges in mind and my contribution to workshops is a reproduction of the Steiff Roly Poly dolls.<br />

I may have been inactive for the past 18 months but I have made some commitments to myself this year and by sharing them with my friends I hope will gather the momentum I need to meet my own expectations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTOtiKbp3moqqvGZixyEmQctahYYWHEaV_SMF5YvROWRXNU92uxXMjoNhVZAATJ-CVJyZ6G-T78RdyytYkPd6IxwEC2kQOFQF6c-2SibCdKHpsK6SjV3gc8WaoV1nsqaEkyeqHi58VLA/s1600/DSC_0022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTOtiKbp3moqqvGZixyEmQctahYYWHEaV_SMF5YvROWRXNU92uxXMjoNhVZAATJ-CVJyZ6G-T78RdyytYkPd6IxwEC2kQOFQF6c-2SibCdKHpsK6SjV3gc8WaoV1nsqaEkyeqHi58VLA/s1600/DSC_0022.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So what are the short and long term plans?<br />
<br />
1. Get the junk out of my work room and begin the grand 'Chuck out'- this applies to everything in this house!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpjKVe8mMAnbuxdN8pW0dH5V31bKxJoemfjxK_UW7CIyZx075Lb6QAufpQKy0sxhtspqW5PnaTPI5DwHcAcmhiMtCotENe67M2wN63gnGiMuuuv6a47S0YETNyIt2Jm3Yz8LHhtuFX9M/s1600/DSC_0020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifpjKVe8mMAnbuxdN8pW0dH5V31bKxJoemfjxK_UW7CIyZx075Lb6QAufpQKy0sxhtspqW5PnaTPI5DwHcAcmhiMtCotENe67M2wN63gnGiMuuuv6a47S0YETNyIt2Jm3Yz8LHhtuFX9M/s1600/DSC_0020.JPG" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
2. re-establish the routines that I was once quite good at...It takes 28 consecutive days to get into a habit.....we're on day 3!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3.Begin the grand plan - the time is right for me to quit my job and move on, this is very scary but I don't want to regret not carrying out my well thought out decision through fear.....Watch this space!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I have decided that enough is enough!<br />
It has been a very tough year emotionally and the only person that can really do anything about it is ME! So this is my attempt at a new start to nurturing my creativity which when I am in the flow really does help my inner peace the important thing that has been missing in the past 12 months.<br />
So....... to a very belated 2013 it can only get better from here on in!<br />

I have been very remiss in keeping up to date, but I have had some bad news to deal with too. In February I was diagnosed with the disease chronic lymphocytic leaukaemia, so as you can imagine I have been bouncing off the walls for a bit trying to get my head around it all. Glad to say I am feeling a lot calmer and beginning to come to terms with having something for which there is no cure and has to get a whole lot worse before there is any treatment to put it into remission. So........ focus on creating, sewing and enjoying my favourite things.......<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am blessed with a very fit and active daughter but it does mean travelling to all the various events and much time spent 'hanging' around. Not that I mind all of that. I did think this was quite a nice photo of her at her last trampolining event.<br />

I haven't found my little bit of peace yet, it might be something to do with living with a 14 year old who has school exams right now and a little stressy to say the least, or a usually very good and loveable dog suddenly deciding that he won't come when he's called or major changes in the day job that are worrying everyone.....who knows but I'm sure I will find it soon, I wonder if this is the flavour of the year?<br />

I promise to do better in keeping in touch with all my wonderful friends out there in blogland! It has been a very hectic Holiday season and I've only just found some time to sit and carefully reflect on the past year and think about the coming year and what I need to do. But, plans are afoot for some great adventures.........<br />

It's been a while since I posted last, I really don't know where the time has gone or where my creativity has been but we are back from our camping adventure in South Wales, I'm tired but I feel refreshed and ready to get back into my work room (not relishing going back to the day job any time soon though!) Apart from the car being full of sand and needing a clean, all the camping gear is sorted and put away and the house is sort of up together..........I think we are finally back to normal!<br />
