JaM - Caught on Camera

JaM - taking Just a Moment to gather & share the things you have noticed, consumed, created, bought during your week....

I noticed that cut Tulips, in a vase, over the period of a week, are very entertaining.

There are no secrets when you run workshops from home 
and if I'm going to bring anything else into the Studio 
the Studio will have to be bigger.

Charles brings a new dynamic to classes 
and I can't quite explain how lovely it is to see a man unpicking the zip from the Sleeping Suit
he is creating for his grand daughter...

Michelle in her Liza Dress 
....wish I could show you what she has found & created 
for her Op Shop Swap partner 
- you're a lucky duck Zara 
& don't worry if you don't get any shots I got plenty!

Carol in her REinvented Tunic 
& Andi wearing her REinvented T-shirt & Jumper Dress 
- if you're not friends before coming to the Studio you will be soon after.

The best thing about Winter is that I get wear old favourites with new favourites.

If I could afford these boots I'd move to Tasmania 
so I could wear them everyday 
and then I'd create my entire wardrobe to suit them,
 I love them so much.

I love winter - it's so much easier & heaps more fun to dress for the cold.

op shopping pay dirt - Kathmandu Raincoat $10 say no more!

 op shop swappers off & running - love it when others think your idea was a good one.
talking about Reinventing to the uninitiated - 'as above'.

booking holidays - significant birthday here I come.

hand stitching & unpicking - discovering that the slow road is sometimes the best.

great company, creative bombing, dinner cooked, feet rubbed (true story!)

(Alex bought flowers for everyone)

(Bambi Jacket nearly finished)

(Alex got new boots)

(Sustainability Talk for the local Council)

(cold mornings)

what's not to love...

hope I haven't just jinxed next week!

A MeMe on Monday called JaM

Why a MeMe 

because I fear if I don't commit to something that requires me to say something regularly

I'll lose my Blogging Mojo completely

it's been fading fast the past few weeks.

I joined in a couple of MeMe styled joint thingys last year and LOVED them

and having successfully pulled off the Op Shop Swap

and even though I've neglected my Eco Quilt Challenge duties [I'll be back]

I feel I'm ready to take the plunge

I'm also joining a Gym

and now I've said it [out loud] I have to do it!

I'm really bad at doing anything anyone else does,

my sense of co-ordination and fine motor skills are appalling,

so I've taken a little of what I like about others 'thingys'

and stitched in a few of my own
and come up with

JaM
(Just a Moment)

It''ll be a place to come & share stuff
stuff you have, are yet to acquire, things you think, things you know
cos all we have is time, this moment, right now
everything else is borrowed, on loan, temporary.

I didn't want to limit this MeMe with too many specifics
no guilt, shame or pressure.

It's going to be very simple.

On a Monday

• I'll post a theme, do a post on the theme and invite you to do the same. Please offer suggestions for themes - think this is where I fell down with the Eco Quilt [much guilt].
• You then. if you so choose, do your own post on the theme, with a link back to the MeMe so others that are interested can join in.
• Leave a comment if you so wish.
• Most importantly leave a link at the bottom of the MeMe so that we can come visit you.
• The Link will be open for a week - Monday-Sunday

 See ya Monday!
