To post or not to post ...

I have now sat here for far too long deciding which template, which font and as for the colours to use that's just another long story and debate!

Months, that's how long it's taken me to decide whether or not I should start this ball rolling or just enjoy flicking on my favourite blogs rather than joining in. But join in is what I have done and this is why I have just spent this morning messing around with the blog (when I should be working) - it's not there yet - oh no - there will be many changes made over the next few weeks - well maybe months when I am able to work out how to make the changes I want to!

Firstly thanks must go to Zoe at Zoe's Knitting Bag whose blog I have been reading for a while now. She is holding a reading and bookmark swap. On seeing this I thought it was about time I stopped just reading blogs and join in - so as I said earlier join in is what I have done and in doing so she kindly put the link to my blog........ oh my god, well on seeing this I thought ***t I should do something about this and not just have some page up that says nothing, does nothing and is just floating there in cyberspace, thanks Zoe!

Anyway as time goes on I will share more with you about what I do to keep myself out of mischief and inspired. Inspiration is what this is really all about - as we all know it can come from anywhere and normally at the most odd moments.

So enough babbling - I really need to go and do some work but before I do I want to share "Humphrey" with you. Still a little more to do on him he needs a little more padding around his belly (unlike some of us!) - poor thing, fancy having your head stuck on with pins and a gorgeous label stuck on your bottom... He came about after buying this fabulous book

Sock and Glove - Creating Charming Soft Friends from Cast-off Socks and Gloves

So one dowdy Sunday afternoon I was restless and needed to create something so I grabbed a pair of socks (obviously new and not worn!) and began to create (in the art sense, not in the vocal sense) and a few hours later...

Well that's it for now, I really really need to go and work, but I have enjoyed doing this so will be back to share more as often as I can and who knows where this will take us - hope you enjoy reading and come back to join me again soon. Spread the word - there is now yet another blog to pass the hours with!
