About time...

Ok, I have a bit of a confession, for those of you who haven't worked it out yet. I have started not one but two other blogs.  Yes a little excessive I know, but I think I have worked out my reasoning and am thinking I need to join them all somehow... maybe. One was originally just for extended family to catch up with me without reading this one and knowing EVERYTHING about me, but I recently changed it to be a blog on tips and tricks to use in life,when really I could have done that here.  Then the other is basically my motherhood journey (which I think is still valid).

I originally started blogging because I thought it was what all the "cool" kids were doing so I wanted in.  When, in reality I like to do things that others aren't and at the time I really only knew one other person doing it so I thought it was right up my alley! Actually, the me I know and love, likes to be different to others a lot.  I think something may have changed since becoming a mum. Woah, that's insightful, and sad.  I started to do things like other mums so noone could tell I had no idea what I was doing!   Then I just kept it up I think.  Those who know me well, know that I don't just usually do something because others are, and if truth be told, I am more likely NOT to do something because I am told to or because most others are!

Almost 2 years ago I discovered I am actually quite crafty. Well I always knew I loved doing arty, crafty, creative stuff but I discovered a whole new world of craft.  I think this started when I bought this lovely book..



I started to learn to crochet, and make lovely things.  I recently (as in, this week) got this book (below) which is the third book Pip from Meet Me At Mike's has written.



I would love to get her second book "Sew La Tea Do" and the "Meet Me At Mike's Journal" she has as well. Maybe for Christmas hey.

Anyway, I guess where I am going with all this is that I need to get back to my "roots" as it were, my individual style of me!  Only just a few days ago I was telling my dearest how I used to only buy clothes at op shops and liked that.  I think I might start again.  I think I have a day of op shopping due! Yes I do! I once bought a very pretty pink jacket which I think was like a part of a nighty set. I didn't care, I loved it and wore it as a top once I attached some clips to do up the front (as it was one you just tie up the top).

Ok, so I am not sure if I started with a point or am even going to end with a point (importing pictures sometimes throws my concentration you know.) but I changed my blog to be private a while back and I think I might open it again... I need to not care what others think of me and I am going to start being more "Me" again.  I am a bit of a dork and my fashion sense may not be up to scratch, but I am me and I am who God made me to be!

Just a last thought, I wonder what the "old/real" me looks like as a mum?  Haha, guess we will find out, actually I know some of my closest already know. :D
