Journey

Hello friends!
I haven't blogged for a while as you can see and i feel terrible! In the later half of 2012 i spent sometime thinking about a career path where i could practically use and enjoy my love for craft, sewing, drawing, designing and cooking and still earn good dollars. So after some good old thought and discussion with people in the know, I decided to embark on university study in secondary teaching, specialising in  the areas of Home Economics, Hospitality and English! Wowzers! And what a ride it is. So far i have successfully completed Term 1 (sigh). Moreover, as a result of full time study i have had to push the fashion label aside for a while. Hopefully i can manage to do a market here and there and maybe find a retail outlet, as i still have loads of stock for sale.

In this term of UNI i have enrolled in the course "managing elearning". This will teach me to incorporate the latest  ICT tools into my teaching, which i am going to try out through this blog. From previous blogging i do know a couple of things like how to insert pictures, highlight text to link it to other websites but at the moment struggling to remember how i actually do it haha.....

A new love

I have found a new love. Playmobil.
In short it is similar to Lego but better. Loads more characters and scenes to build without being too fiddly.
I particularly enjoy buying the surprise packs where you don't know what kind of playmo you are buying and when you open you have to build and find out, it's pretty exciting.


I had some quiet fun down the beach the other afternoon playing out a scene. Look below

weasling my way back in....

well you could say i was gone but not forgotten yeah? 

Taking a well earned break i have restored my creativeness and getting back on track with some new ideas while delving into also unknown creative man's land with some new learned tricks!

I do hope you have been well while i have been away :)

While on my break i jetted off to the USA! This is where i took these snap shots (with my newest love the Pen E 3 olympus camera)
See what you think below....
