Of course I have an opinion...

I'm currently doing a 30 day drawing challenge - although I've decided that I determine when those days occur :)

I just did day two and it was: Draw your favourite animal.

At the moment my favourite animal is a tie between Corgi puppies and Bunnies. I went for bunnies. But I decided that these bunnies needed to reflect my personality. Something about myself, that isn't always positive, is that I always have an opinion. I really don't know everything, but time and time again I find myself in mid sentence blabbing about something I know for a fact I really don't know anything about. The person I'm talking to doesn't even need to ask for my opinion, I give it freely and often ignorantly. I also have this intense desire to fill in the silences, you know those awkward ones where no one is speaking.

And time and time again I find myself with my foot in my mouth because I said something totally stupid.

One day I'm going to find my mute button - but until then... meet the opinionated bunnies :)

 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
Proverbs 17:28

I hope you have a great weekend.

Monday Inspirations

I realize that I have been neglecting my blogging :) But the past few months have been a bit busy (TONS of fun, but very busy).

 From this week I am calming down and I have quite a few things that I have been dreaming up that I want to share with you. 

But before I get to that I HAVE to share a link with you. Today's link is something that a friend posted on Facebook. It's the ultimate inspiration and what I believe life is all about. Monday inspirations are supposed to speak to your heart, and if you are willing to take a look at the link and click on some of the photos, I promise your heart will be inspired... :)

I am second

Have a SUPER Monday.

Monday Inspirations

Today's inspiration (or more like word of advice) is to go outside and breathe. Stop worrying about blog posts that need to be written and go enjoy what you have been given :)

That's it

Happy Monday! 

Monday Inspirations

I'm really excited about this week, it's probably (definitely) because we have family coming to visit us for a week from Friday. So my day didn't need any brightening up - but I happened to find a blog that has 100's of sewing tutorials so my day just keeps getting better. 

Go take a look - Alina has even categorized them and each link takes you to a great tutorial - it could days to work through these :) have fun.

and THANK YOU so much Alina from adventures in home-making :)

Some (and by some, I mean tons) of sewing tutorials.

Happy Monday

Monday Inspirations

It's currently Chuseok time here in Korea - for the Koreans it means that everyone goes to their families, eats a ton of food and honors their ancestors. 

But to me it means that I get 3 days off work. ^.^  So my husband and I are spending it on the beach - a hard life, I know.

For today's inspiration I have some FREE printables for you to browse through and use at your leisure. 

Have fun.

Lunchbox notes from get buttoned up.

A few planners(weekly planners, weekly menu planners, weekly cleaning checklists and weekly blog planners) from design finch

135 sheets worth of gift tags (trust me there are SOOO many good ones - I might triple tag all of my gifts) from Living Life as Art.

More adorable free printables from pumpkins and posies

A collection of Thanksgiving printables from kind over matter.

And a super cute pop up card from eloole.

Happy Monday!!

Monday inspirations

Today is link to link day.

I don't always particularly like it when people (myself included) link to links that other people have made, but I have realised that sometimes other people have gathered some pretty amazing links. So let me link you to their links ;) And then you can have a look at their blogs while loving their links.

Every little day has made a round up of 25 girls skirt tutorials, I know I am way past being a little girl, but I want most of these for myself.

Chickabug gathered these popcorn recipes from the blog world - the pictures have an instantaneous effect on my salivary glands

Getting a bit more organised.

I have decided to start organizing my craft area. I have realized that I often don't use certain things because they get lost in between all the other stuff and I forget that I have them. My ribbons, lace and elastic are usually all tangled up and sometimes I find a ribbon and think: "this would have worked so well in my previous project, if I had known that I had it." 

I took science at school and although I didn't always understand (listen) much I did get one thing. The Law of Energy Decay states that every system(in this case my crafts) left to its own devices always tends to move from order to disorder(chaos).

There you have it - the reason why my room never stayed tidy when I was in school and the reason why my craft corner looks the way it does now.

Here is a simple 'how to" on what I did with my ribbons and lace and I even recycled (pat myself on the back) while doing this.

1. Cut the toilet roll

2. Place it around the hanger and tape it closed

3. Wrap ribbon/lace/whatever around the roll and do this with as many rolls as you need.

4. Ta DA!!

Some superheroes have one archenemy that they fight continually throughout their lives. One of mine is the 'tendency towards disorder' - the score for battles won is not in my favor BUT at least I'm on the scoreboard now:) 

Have a great day!
