TIME
I don't seem to be able to find the time to get out my art supplies and create anything.
My supplies take up too much room. The room I was using as my creative space now has a bed and gets used by the grandchildren a few times a week so there is no way I can leave anything half done on my desk .
So I have decided to get back to embroidery as my main artwork.
This silver bowl holds what I will use for my next creation.Linen, threads, a needle and an old watch to remind me to take the time to create.
This needle will be my saviour.It will help me sit and relax yet still create
SUNDAY IN MELBOURNE
On Sunday we went to Melbourne (just over an hours drive)
We went for a walk along the Yarra River
Such a beautiful Autumn day
Autumn in Melbourne is always special.

It looks like a glorious day Alison.We are getting your wet weather here, not nice!
Keep trying to find time to be creative!
HI Alison
You just made me want to dig out my embroidery stuff too! Dylan is always in to everything so at least I could stash my embroidery stuff under my bed where he can't see it.....
Can't wait to see what you make!

I love the idea of having the watch with your crafting supplies Alison - a great reminder that we need to do something for ourselves each day too.
Enjoy your sewing,

What a lovely day for a walk. I think time is such an issue for all of us and I hate it! Argh. Hope you are having a great week!
How cute of a idea to have your old watch in your bowl of crafting supplies.
Melbourne really knows how to put on the weather eh?
I adore Melbourne such a delightful place! xx
Hey Alison I love the look of your craft bowl especially the colours of your embrodery floss. What a great idea with the beautiful old watch & just love your photos of Melbourne, I have never been there but it looks lovely. Cannot wait to see what you create.

Melbourne is a great place to be in Autumn isn't it? Let's just hope Winter goes quickly :) and that you get more time to do what you love!
Isn't it funny how time gets away from us as we get older, especially when there are little ones around.
Your photos are beautiful! I LOVE that old watch...been wanting to start a new collection of watches and clocks.
What a lovely river to walk by!
Have fun with your embroidering!:)

Isn't so important to make the time. It is worth it. Such beautiful pictures.

Congrats on your new babies!!! wooo hooo! I hope you started your Christmas shopping NOW because you will FIVE to spoil!!!! How exciting...this Christmas will be so special :)
Thanks for taking me to Melbourne...it's beautiful. It's on my list of places to visit one day.
