Playing catch up - Updated

Things here at Cherry Blossom Towers (I have just invited that, I'm still just sitting in my house but from now on let's pretend I have towers, lol) are a little slow and stilted; I have so many ideas bursting at the edges of my brain but nought is happening in reality. Boo hiss, it seems I have come a cropper to 'creative block'. So instead I have been messing around on Pinterest, reading books (I think I have gotten the Game of Thrones' Bug now), cleaning the Towers and generally feeling like I could be doing so much more than I am.....oh dear.

One of the things I have done is create a digital signature....

this seriously is super duper close to my handwriting, I must be so boring, it should be curlier or more artistic maybe that's something else I ought to put on the list. Oh Lordy, how do you get a cool signature? If you want to do the same here's the link to the website I used, it's so easy and there are 3 different ways o go about it  - fun times.

In other news I got this package in the post today :) I am rather excited as to what I hope (fingers crossed) I get to make with these. Love the colours and in the background there is one of my 100w daylight stimulation bulbs - they are making life so much happier.

I also did some practice with my camera today, trying to get the effect I wanted 'in camera' and do some portrait work; an area which I really find nerve wrecking even after last years selfie project. So I am showing you these, untouched, straight from the camera in the hopes that you won't laugh and think me a terrible photographer - I am always learning, always willing to improve..... I am rather proud of that :)

Lastly, I promise I shall be working hard on my new Sew Cherry Blossom items tomorrow if it kills me!
Love and Hugs

UPDATE ~

Oh my Goodness, oh. my. goodness. I am dry of mouth, shaky of hand and more than a little dizzy; I have just spent an hour with my sewing machine and it was awful!! I haven't felt so uncomfortable in a very long time, so out of control, so scared....I was trying to be slow and careful but it was growling a me and revving like a crazy teenage car driver; it wanted to go fast and when it did I had no control, none, zilch.

Powerless, I was as trying to sew a bird - I had it all worked out but NO! Sewing machines are the devil's work. I can't go back up there, you can't make me.....I'm just going to sit here in the corner rocking until someone comes with chocolate....

My sewing machine bird - you can tell it's a bird right?? aaahhhh I'm shaking, I'm shaking like a Polaroid picture but not in a good way, oh God.....
