Practising & Faffing

I'm really just faffing about tonight, but it's all under the guise of practising what I've been learning in my Photoshop class...

I managed to create this without even having to refer to my class notes. Yippee!

Feel free to right click and save the image and print it onto a card for your mum (for personal use only though okay peeps)!

'Tis Hot Milo O'Clock... Ciao

My Creative Space

There were plans for sewing this week but then...

Woohoo look something shiny and new!

My five minute attention span was diverted and I ended up getting sucked into a photoshop vortex.... testing and drawing and colouring and trying out lots of different tricks. It's not so scary now that I have some understanding of the technical side of things.

I'm promising myself that there will be sewing again sometime soon.

More creative spaces.

Random Friday

The first photoshop class was fabulous yesterday. It's been so long since I've been anywhere near a classroom, but it's really re-inforced to me that I'm most definitely a teacher/classroom/textbook type of learner.

The bonus bit - I finally met Cintia from My Poppet as we're both doing the course (thank goodness she tweeted about it or I may have missed out)!


The festival of birthday begins today with watching the Preppie in a class performance at school assembly, and then we have the sisterlyopshoppingpalooza (I'm sure that's a real word), and lunch at my favourite cafe (sorry pulmonary rehab, but I'm ditching you today)!

Abbe needs some help answering some Craft Retreat questions here.

I'm testing out my newly learned vector drawing skills on the May Skirt Sew Along button. I'm hoping that it looks like a skirt in a wintery type fabric?

Anyway, check out the blog on Monday to sign up for the Sew Along. You can make any skirt that your heart desires for the challenge, but if you're thinking about making a You Sew Girl A-Line Skirt, the pattern is available here.

Happy Random Friday!
