My creative space…
I’m fighting the big girl for time at the machine today.
I’ve hacked into an old feed sack & am working on easing gently back into the making.
I wonder if you guys have been making or if like me you’ve lazed away the summer hols.
Do pop in & add your link if you’re playing along today.

Hi Kirsty! I am exactly like you… I took it easy and relaxed over the Christmas break but have gotten back in to it all in the past few weeks. I think that new creations have bought a lot of new motivation for me. Have fun fighting for the sewing machine

Feed sacks are always fun. Lots of making here over the break. Mainly for my sanity more than anything else.

ah, glad you're back! Everything lately has been about 'the flood' so its great to have something a bit light and lovely to join in on. I have some feedsacks and have never known what to do with them, interested to see what you create! Thanks for hosting this and for your gorgeous photos over your break…xoKate

That sounds like a lovely battle to have Kirsty.
Welcome back. Must say, its been a mixture of doing and doing nothing these holidays.

can't even imagine competing for access – I compete for opportunity but sharing is incomprehensible!

I've been competing for machine time too! So funny, but nice I think
My girls received Harvest Textile Cloud and Bat softie kits for xmas and have been fighting to get machine time to finish them. Happy Creative Space, Kirsty! Here's to a great year ahead. I hope you're feeling more creatively mojo-ed now? Kx

Feels kinda scary to be back here doing the creative space thing. Like the holidays are nearing an end and I need to get my act together.
Hope you get some time at your machine. I don't think mine's talking to me. XX

Hope you win the fight Kirst, as always I can't wait to see what you're making. Love old feedsacks so I'm sure it'll be wonderful.
I wonder if you ever get sick of me saying that, but it's always totes true xo

Happy new year, Kirsty. Loving the return of creative spaces, especially during the holidays when there's time to do different things (soap making for me). Loving your photographs of the last couple of weeks. Enjoy the return to the machine! Nic

Yay, you're back! I love this linky. I rarely have anything to offer, but gee it's fab going to all the blogs to see what they are up to. I find it interesting and inspiring. I am an admirer rather than a doer most of the time… I think I will try to get more creative posts up this year.
Thanks for hosting, Kirsty. x

I've been busy creating the past few weeks but haven't been online as much. I was so excited to see My Creative Space is back while as I was catching up on blog reading tonight. I love seeing what everyone is working on.

I have been megga creative over the christmas break as I am going to be doing my first market in february. I am having a break today though so I think I might just have a look at what everyone else is doing.

Making, Making, Making – too much to do and too many ideas for idolness – I don't think that is a good thing though.
Thanks for creative spacing for another year.

Welcome back!
I've still been making, but at a much more leisurely pace. I can't wait to see what you do with the feed sack; I've got one that I haven't decided how to use yet.

Well, if anyone can make a feedsack in to something amazing, it's going to be you! Just to let you know I've been noticing your noticing and it's been amazing. The horse photos sent me straight back to my twelve year-old self (never did get a blood horse!).

Thanks for hosting here again. I look forward to seeing your finished item. I have been making and lazing, sometimes at the same time. The last few days however, I have been on a mission of the library bag kind. I have called it Task Force Library Bag and so far have enough to finish sewing 39 to donate to a primary school in QLD. Thanks for hosting Creative Space.

Have only just found your 'creative space' and am slightly late as I'm posting on a Friday but I'm game – this holiday has been all about learning to knit for me. Will be back to see what you do next week!
