I've been away for a while... yup. Lost a lotta contact. Missed a lotta happenings. Feels like a lot longer than 3 weeks since I've blogged, but it's that. It's been a good month since I've been able to make anything, that's for sure. Something snapped, I guess. In the househunt time condensed and my craft room gathered dust. I'd like to say that in this time we've gotten ourselves a nice little property, but it's not the case. Not yet. A standard has been set, though.
I'm gonna get back on the blogging horse, and visit all of you and see what I've been missing. I hope you'll all come back and visit me, too. I've missed this contact.
Anyway... deep breath...limber up (stretch, stretch)... what have I actually managed to scrape together these last few weeks?
Well...
...a wedding invitation order took up a lot of my time:
But that's OK because I made someone very happy.
There is an unconventional colour challenge this month at XOXO:
For which I used pink and orange. All the time I was thinking 'yeuch' but then I remembered fruit salad penny sweets and embraced the challenge - and I was really happy, in the end. There's a bit of Washi tape in there, some fabric ribbon, lace and other fabric - all from Gauche Alchemy. There's a bit of Crate Paper's Random stuff in there too.
Oh, I got my hair cut:
Yeah, that made me feel goooooood.
I've also been playing around with my camera, trying to learn a thing or two about its manual settings...
OK, work in progress - but I'll get there.
And I went to a gig - another time, another story... but I took my camera:
That was one awesome night. I will come back with the story another time because I'm gonna scrap it. Like, ASAP.
All righty, I think that feels OK - I'm blogging again. I'll go warm down now. Hope to see you all on the rounds again! Thanks for stopping by to say hello again!

Glad you're back and blogging, sorry to hear about the house hunting not being successful .... But the right thing is just waiting for you. I adore the layout, but then I'm a fan of the subjects lol
