Door Jamy Pillo's

Over the past few weeks i have not been spending too much time in creating new items. I have been unwell so my attention span to sit and actually create has been overwhelming..

But ive been feeling unproductive and unispired, until recently. 

So finding my mojo to complete orders has given me great satisfaction.. 

September

Ive recently become the proud owner of a Nikon D5000 and ive been trying to use it every day just so i can get familiar with how it all works..  

The last couple of mornings ive been able to get some great sunrise shots..

This was my view yesteday morning, the foggy mist was lurking on the ground..  

Today it was a bit wet so didn't get out the door to take a shot.. 

But then spotted this out my kitchen window.. 

My cat intent on trying to capture this butcher bird .. im pleased to let you know that she wasn't able to jump up and get it.. It flew away before she had the chance to change spots and pounce..  But i love living out in the country, as you are not able to see these scenes so readily when you live in a town, or a city... 

My creative stance has been lifted as in the past couple of weeks i have been working on some wholesale items for The Dardy Collection this is a business that is based in a little country town called Dardinup in Western Australia..  Feel free to pop on over and check out her wonderful array of items, which are all handmade by fellow crafters.

Merley.. at 50 SALE!!!

Isn't it amazing how one can get busy..

The past few weeks have just flown by.. 

I recently turned 50.. yep old age is finally here.. :)
Im not one for celebrating but this year, i managed to make it through my day, without feeling overwhelmed and panicky.. I normally have major panic attacks and become a blithering mess.. I tend to just want the day to slide by and not even think about it..

This year the day dawn brightly Coralie over at Rainbow Farm Photography took the most wonderful shot, so i bit the bullet and brought one of her prints. Have now got to find a frame for it..

My neighbour friends made me special the next day by having my husband and i over for lunch, she spent the time to make a cake, but also they respected my wishes of no Fuss.. The cake didn't even have candles.. So it made me feel loved and respected..

Im not sure why i have a hard time when it comes to my birthday, but i hope that this year has been a turning point for me.. New beginnings and all that... :)

So as a new beginning ive decided to have a SALE a clean out of my supplies cupboard, its time to get rid of the old and open the way for some new creations...

All items listed over at Merley's are at SALE prices... So why not head on over and grab a bargain.. Buy early for Christmas.. My items make great stocking fillers...

im still alive

Its amazing how one forgets about pages...

My life has been a little topsy turvy lately..

Ive started working one day a week.. 

Our crop is in the ground, and starting to come up. We had some lovely rain over the past couple of days, as well as some very windy days.. Its sad to see dust blowing over the horizon, when you know that its one of your neighbours who's crop is getting cut of at the ground..  

My items have now been placed in a local store, and from all accounts are selling, so am in prep work stage to creating some new items..  Ive in the past week made the decsion to close my Merley's Facebook page, this was not easy as i did have a few followers, but like my blog i was finding it hard to keep updated and also since my sales have dwindle i thought i will try a new tack..

Tea Towel, Bagz Bag & Dishcloth set $19.50 Free postage

Dishcloths $6.00 each Free postage

(Display Only ) Soft Shut Door Jam Pillo $9.00 Free postage

So from now on my items will be listed here for sale, or via Merley's

Being Creative

Well its been ages since ive posted anything here.. 

Sitting at home and not doing a lot is starting to get to me, and i know that this is not a good thing. 

So ive been looking into ways that i can utilise my secretarial skills, and work from home.. So im now offering a basic typing service, for those out there who would rather do gardening than sit in front of a computer screen or typewriter and write up notes.. my webb page for those interested is here .. 

But i have been busy with my Merly's Creations

 Yesterday ventured out to try out a new idea.  

I still need to sew either some velcro or a press stud on it to keep the flap from coming up all the time.. and am wondering if i should have a little handle attachement or not.. 

But im pleased with how it turned out.. 

It could also become a glasses case.. with a few more stiches added... 

New creations

Over the past week or two ive been trying to get some new ideas and creation made up.. Also have been working on tweeking and promoting my Face Book Page and trying to get some interest in my items via that media.
