Post numero uno!

Here we go! It's 4 in the morning and I have been woken up by my dead, tingling hands (a glorious side-effect of pregnancy I was completely unaware of until now) and what better task to give myself than setting up a blog?

 I have been meaning to crack on with creative projects for a long time, so perhaps if I make myself update this bad boy every day with pictures and details of what I've been up to then it might actually give me a kick up the bum! Now, by creative projects I mean things like sewing, cooking, crafting, and stuff like that. Stuff I am not particularly skilled at, but hope to develop, and stuff that I love! One thing I am perhaps better at, and put a lot of practice into, is bargain hunting! Or "sourcing", perhaps we could call it. I love love love scouring charity shops, vintage/antique shops, ebay, small ads, you name it, for unusual and bargainous bits and pieces which are either fabulous as they are, or can be used to create something beautiful.

It's this creating part which I need to work on. So I have a brand new sewing machine to figure out tomorrow, and shedloads of scraps of material and "treasures" to help me in my creative quest! What will I make? Will I succeed? Is this a good idea at all with my currently useless hands? We shall find this all out tomorrow my pretties, but for now, sleep, and dreams of shiny buttons...
