I had a couple of false starts with this one.

I wanted the pincushion to be functional & once I ditched the can everything came together pretty quickly.

I chopped the heads off some quilting pins (which are MUCH longer than regular pins) so that I could add the popped corn & still keep the pins useable.

I’ve had fun with the pincushion swap & hope that my partner likes it.

Blogtober
Lots of lovely girls are joining in.
Not so much a challenge for me but a celebration.
There’s much to celebrate this month.
I’ve always thought of October as a festival.
I think the button is the perfect addition to my sideBAR.

I owe a fair few tags around the place.

I really honestly tried for the 6th in the 6th as tagged by the Potty Mouth & Jimmy Trickle but I wasn’t at all happy with the image.

Then mixtapezine gave me a lovely award.

So when she posted this I thought…BINGO. Here’s something that they’ll all appreciate.

Band name: Oleg Fedoseyev
Album name: (size of the) fight in the dog
Album cover: As pictured from here

Here are the rules.

1 – Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random”or click this. The FIRST random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 – Go to “Random quotations”or click this. The last FOUR or FIVE words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 – Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”or click this. THIRD picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Fun – have a crack.

I’m craving a bit of routine.

I really loved on my desk in 08. It kept me motivated & kept things neat (OK neatish) around the ranch. The management got in the way of the fun but I think I’ve found the answer.

This year I’m playing my creative space which allows for the roving workspace so many of us enjoy. Details of this weeks offering here.

Each Thursday I’m going to post an image of what’s in progress either on my desk, in my spot, on the sofa, desktop, at the kitchen table…whatever. If you’d like to play along & find some new blogs along the way then you just need to post & then pop into my creative space post for the day & paste your post URL into the auto link widget – it will do all the work for us (I hope). What it really means is that all the obligation is taken away… it’s an easy game to play & if you’re in one week & out the next that’s absolutely fine. Everyone will know exactly who has played each week. Sounds simple enough? Keep everything crossed OK.

I’ll test to make sure it’s working in a second. I’ve tested & would you believe it – it works. Yip to the pee!

Here’s a button if you’re into that sort of thing…

& the code too…

For this.
I hope she likes it.
