The Everyday Creative- Week 3
This week has been really good creativity wise. I’ve managed to do multiple creative things each day, so this week’s photo collection is really just a sample. 
Other things I’m working on are a Christmas collage wall (to put the presents under, seeing as we don’t do Christmas trees), and STILL finishing off my rose/teacup quilt. I have also discovered a few unfinished Christmas projects from last year, including an embroidered Christmas Advent Callender, so you might see those make an appearance in the coming weeks!
Don’t forget that on Wednesday I’ll be posting up the details of the Handmade 12 Days of Christmas over at We Heart Life, so check it out then!

The Everyday Creative
Well, better late then never! I totally meant to post this yesterday, but out internet wasn’t working. Today it’s decided it would like to work, which is good, but annoying. Annoying because Dad spent time today getting stuff ready to fix it this afternoon, and then we we came home it was working fine… a bit embarassing.
Anyway, this week I’ve been on track with my creative endeavours. It’s ranged from drawing to cooking to sewing. I nice variety.
***********
The everyday creative is a challenge I set myself in February 2010 to do something creative every single day. The purpose is to stimulate my creativity, do something with my creativity, appreciate the gifts God has given me, and use them in my everyday life.
Another (short) era over…
So far this month things are happening well.
At the beginning of the week I finished my Graduate Certificate at the University of New South Wales, and signed up to be RPL’d for a certificate IV in Frontline Management with a connection from work. And I’m also enrolling in a Cert IV Trainer and Assessor. Even though my Bachelor of Learning Management permits me to be a registered teacher I’m not qualified in the VET sector- hence the TAA. What’s another qualification, hey?!
I’m feeling a bit under-whelmed with finishing Uni. I was expecting to get sick or something. You know, because I’d be relaxing, taking my eye off the ball etc. But no, no sickness. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve just transfered my intensity into other areas of my life (example: work, sewing etc), and I’ve kept up that intensity etc., or if I just actually wasn’t that stressed when I was doing Uni.
I have a feeling it’s the second one, which makes me pretty proud.
Seeing as this is my blog, I will the take the opportunity to brag on myself, because I feel like no one has fully appreciated what the last semester has been like for me. I mean, I’ve been working full time, in a management position, and doing Uni every night after work until all hours of the night. This, coupled with cooking, cleaning (abeit, not much of that went on…), and a stack of social functions we couldnt miss (birthdays etc), I am pretty gosh darn proud of myself! I even had time to post on here, catch up on some blogs (apologies to everyone I’ve been unreading… I’m catching up- slowly!), AND I’ve stayed current with my Creative 365 journey!
Anyway, rant over.
Speaking of my Creative 365 journey…Do you ever pop round to have a look what I’m up too?
I’ve not only been doing the creative things each day, but I’ve been uploading them too! It’s a miracle! Well, maybe not particularly a miracle.. probably more to do with the fact that I have just finished Uni!
I’m feeling pretty proud of the things I’ve created. I would love to have pop round here and tell me what you think.
Summary of June's creative things... http://taliacarbis.tumblr.com/
You might also remember our June Challenge? I’m pleased to say that we’re right on track with that too. We’ve had a few nights of toasted sandwiches, that would have normally been Thai nights, and quite a few lunches which consisted of just cup-a-soups, but we’ve survived! I’m getting more organised, which is a good thing, and tomorrow will be our first check in to see how much we’ve saved so far!
I’ll post up a bit of a summary of this week’s menu (We’ve been eating lots of Jamie Oliver recipes), and next week’s menu in the next few days. In the mean time, go have a look at what I’ve been up too!
