Back into the swing with My Creative Space...

Back to reality with a bit of a bump this week. We had a wonderful 10 days away camping here are a few highlights of the week......

LOTS of skiing and tubing (and finding muscles i haven't used for the while!)



Kayaking and swimming....




Meeting the locals....



No crafting in sight, but i did managed to get through 2 of the 3 books i took (woohoo!)....

and nights toasting marshmallows around the camp fire....


all in all a fabulous week of R & R and quality family time.....


so its been a little hard, trying to get back into the swing of things. I've come back wondering where September has gone? so much to do, so little time! and this rainy weather is not exactly helping my sky high camp washing pile!

So its straight back into it and this is my creative space this week....



i noticed over here that santa has come super early which has given me the kick in the pants i needed to get cracking on goodies for the stocking swap.....

i ordered some supplies before we left for some birthday gifts we have coming up and a few new ideas i have rolling around in my head for the shop. so these are also making an appearance...


Love to know your thoughts

off for a short break....

This time tomorrow this will be our view from our front door (ie. tent flap).....


and that will probably be our boat out on the water from dawn till dusk! (yes, Mr JK is THAT person you shake your fist at - the one who fires up the ski boat while all the other campers are still asleep trying to 'make the first ripples on the water!)

and we will be doing a heap of this....


so we're off for 10 days of camping and water skiing and adventures in the great outdoors. I'll be back on the 21st of September. Meanwhile im off to pack some BIG books i can lose myself in and maybe ill sneak in some yarn and a crochet hook........

Thanks for stopping by,

5 years ago today.......

I married my best friend - the most wonderful, honest, funny, fiercely loyal and generous man i have ever known. Normally i don't do super personal post but as today is our wedding anniversary i thought it should be marked with a special post.




So, to a wonderfully supportive hubby who puts up with me (and all my crafty mess!) and an even better daddy, i just want to say 'Happy anniversary to Mr JK xo!'

My Creative Space.....

all this talk about stocking swapping has me looking ahead to Christmas. Yes, already!

This year i am participating in the Gatton Christmas in the Country market. It is held on the 5th and 6th of November. So i thought i better get a move on sewing for this!

so my creative space this week looks a little like this...
