The 8th Day of Christmas

2009 presented me with some new toys - a brand new iMac computer which this blog is written on, a new laptop so I can stay connected even when we travel and a brand new car. So I suppose you could say that I have been spoilt with material things in 2009. Each of these give me joy, I love driving my car - I could spend hours in it and never get tired of the pleasure of driving - I have loved driving since I was 15. My old computer was getting so slow that some days it drove me insane - so a new one was one the cards - and it has renewed my love of getting out there in cyberspace to see what is happening in the world - a chance to reconnect with some old friends and to meet new ones.

What this has also done is make me even more aware of how lucky I am, and so this year I have also given more than I normally do to a number of charities, for while I get joy from my new things, I am also acutely aware that others in the world - including Australia - are less fortunate.

Saturday Afternoon (around 2ish)







So... I am trying to learn to sew and thought a little project might be great practice. I have been wanting a door stop for the front door for a while now. It was a lot easier than I thought but I did have a step by step tutorial to follow - Thanks Tania for the link.







This is the finished product - its a little creased but other than that it turned out quite well I think.

Check out other point + shoot lovelies here.
