Day One

So I have finally taken the plunge into the big world of blogging. It will be interesting to see how often I find the time to post to it. Hopefully I will be able to do it fairly often because I intend to focus my blog on things I make be it craft, sewing or cooking. Still I don't always find the time to do even those things but I am crossing my fingers that it will be often enough to make this worthwhile.

Now what got me started on all of this was a need to be able to post what I make. I recently participated in the Meet Me At Mikes 'Make-along with Mike' activity of paper for the month of March. Pip has asked people to link what they make on their blog to her website and, well, I didn't have one. So I have decided it's time and I will start off with my diorama of a 'cosy corner' which I posted on the 'Make-along with Mike' pool on Flickr.

I don't know exactly what it was that made me think of making a diorama. Because I am so busy I don't often have the time to get lost in creative thought anymore. What drew me to the 'Make-along with Mike' pool was the fact that there was a set task in place. This means that the medium is taken care of all I had to do was add the imagination. It kind of reminds me of art in highschool. You show up to class and the teacher says 'this week we are going to be doing lino prints' and off you go...and that's exactly what I did!
