creative holiday challenge

My little challenge to myself for this month is to try to make something every day. Not so hard to manage for the holidays but maybe a bit tricky when school goes back next week! Maybe that is a little unreasonable, perhaps I should purely aim to work on something creative every day... Now I can see room to cheat a bit because technically cooking a meal could be construed as a creative thing, depending on what you cook. I remember in my teens when my father began to take on the role of cook in the family. This was the beginning of my foray into anorexia. He was a creative cook! Sometimes too creative, he liked to eat honey and Vegemite sandwiches! His meals comprised of some surprising combinations. I was not as adventurous as he and often opted for eating very little!

Even though I had a very busy day I still managed to make this HANDbag for myself- not for the markets.

My sister "B" is here from the country holidaying with her family . Her hubby and kids went sight seeing and I took her out for breakfast then we went shopping and bought some art supplies. I bought a canvas for a painting that I'd like to do. (I really have to finish some things. Maybe that should be my challenge to see how many things I can complete this month That's it! All this waffle has helped me decide what to do!) After shopping we came home and I made lunch and B played with her water colours.

Later this afternoon I went out for coffee with a friend down by the beach, beautiful. And a great laugh too! She had a laugh at my unrealistic goals for my holidays. When I got home Bantam Boy had his friend over, his mother is also a friend of mine, she came to pick up her son and we had a cuppa. It was nice to catch up. Both kids were out and about today, They are sleeping over at their friends' houses, so I had leftovers for tea, nice and simple! Tomorrow is lunch with the book club girls. Holiday's are lovely!

Here's to seeing how many things I can actually complete this month!
