My creative space…

March 25, 2010 79 Comments by Kirsty

Still more food.

I had the passionfruit on my muesli this morning & now I’m using the tin for something a bit cute (& food themed).

I’m being good & measuring twice & cutting once. This is part two of the something I began on Monday.

You can visit my favourite space from last week right here.

Don’t forget to pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

With so many people playing along now, I confess I’m finding it hard to keep up. I think I’ll need to do some random number thingy so that the people at the tail end of the list don’t keep missing out. Thank you all for playing along & helping to make Thursdays friendly & fun.

So mysterious! The last time I used a fruit tin for something creative was to cut cookies, because my cookie cutters were rusty. Can't wait to see what you do with your tin!

Morning Kristy! Yes you do have a million or so playing now, it's fun but I can see it would be hard to keep up. But wow, what a great day Thursday is thanks to My Creative Space, & you! xo

What a wonderful breakfast! A tin has so many possibilities but I am sure what you will create wouldn't have even entered my mind. You make it so exciting!! BTW I am still on the hunt for massive circular tubes to make shelving like yours. That was the first time I came a cross your blog and I haven't looked back since!! Thanks heaps for inspiring me and my family weekly!!

Very intriguing creative space this week, Kirsty! Oh, and I just had to say–I loved the doily chair and cabinet project from a few days ago–so clever!

I'm always amazed at what you can make out of an empty tin Kirsty!

MCS is a little crazy busy these days. No wonder you can't keep up. I hope you don't feel like you have to go and visit each and every link as you'd be sitting at the computer all day long.

I, too, wondered how you could possibly keep up with visiting every player… that would be a F/T job.

Can't wait to see what goodness you create with this tin!

I can't keep up with all the Spacers any more either, although every couple of months I set aside a whole evening to try to get through all of them, just because. I try to randomly select different ones each week, but I wish I could visit them all!

There’s a book in there somewhere: ‘Kirsty’s Twenty Kazillion Million Things To Do With an Empty Tin’.

I've been busy hyperventilating over how many MCS players there are each week. Quite enough to play co-ordinator methinks!

I used to mix different colour paints in an empty tin at the art classes. It was so much fun to see what the colour will look like…
Cannot wait to see your new project!

My question is, did you eat the passionfruit to get the tin or did you really want the passionfruit and the tin was a bonus at the end? I'm guessing it was the former and the crafter in me loves you for it! Kind of a good version of "suffering for your art"!

I haven't quite given up the fresh fruit on museli yet…give it a few more weeks till the cooler weather really starts and we only get the staple fruits (all year rounders aren't as interesting to me on museli).
I really enjoy creative spaces, and try to visit a good number over the week. It's great as a blogger/creator to keep yourself "honest" and doing stuff rather than procrastinating about it – which you can do if you don't put it out there to the world.
Thanks Kirsty

Morning Kirsty, I really appreciate you running this meme. It (sadly) is the highlight of my week. It gets my butt into gear to do things and show them off. Unfortunately like others I don't get around to everyones posts because I have a crappy satellite connection and two teenagers ('nuf said), but I love the ones that I can access. Pat on the back for everyone. xxNick

Hey Kirst. Always tinkering away at something curious aren't you?… I'd forgotten about passionfruit pulp, yum!

Maybe you should just say that you're going to visit the first 50 or something. It's hard, not everyone can post at the same time you do, but nor can you realistically read everyone else's post! I think it's sweet that you bother to try.

Hi Kirsty! Can't wait to see what you're up to with the little tin. Passionfruit on muesli? Haven't tried that before but it sounds yum! (And I have a tin in the pantry too!) And that lemon cake looks fab – love a cake recipe with melted butter instead of creamed butter!

Hi Kirsty,

I've been a little quiet on the whole blogging front and have been busily catching up on loads of loveliness over here in Kootoyoo land… and I mean loads… love the slouchy bag and I'm still drooling over the recipes and that's just scrolling down the first page! : )

Oh, already had my weetabix (no fruit) eek, so I'm having a mandarin instead!

So you've got us all guessing… I thought maybe some resist work, you've tied some grape-like bunches and I want to dip it into the tin…

…we'll see later then! :O)
