So! With that in mind, let's get started, shall we?
I like to make things. I take lots of photographs, I bake new recipes and improve on old ones, I like to make thank you cards, I'm writing more, I film things once in a while and occasionally I'll paint a thing or two. I like creating physical, tangible things. So, this is the place to share them!
My goal is to establish a routine of creating things, then posting these self-made doodads here, and then create more doodads to post about, and so on and so forth into blissful, creative eternity.
To get started, I figured I'd tip my hat to the popular instagram hashtag, #throwbackthursday and post some pictures and descriptions of things I've made in the past.
Huh. For the record, I'm only interrupting myself in order to clear some thoughts that suddenly sprang up. I surround myself with rules and guidelines in my everyday life. I suppose it may be from my proper half-British upbringing, or maybe most people do this. Anyway, I was about to clarify what I mean when I refer to things I have "made" and perhaps outline some criteria that these "self-made" objects should meet before I am "allowed" to post them onto this "blog" which I am "making." NOPE. For the record, I'm posting whatever I feel like, as long as I had a creative hand in it. So there.
This is a series of photos I took of the Golden Gate Bridge on a trip my
boyfriend and I took to SF. I put them all through various filters
on instagram, ordered prints through a company called PostalPix
(Brilliant) and put them all up above our bed.

This is our dog, Eddie. No, I know what you're thinking. He's actually not a
professional model. He just strikes come-hither poses like this one all day.
His natural talent is a gift to be envied by all.
A thank you card I made for my dear friend. I found vintage wallpaper patterns online,
then traced them onto plain paper, colored it in with colored pencils and stamped
on the thank you with rubber alphabet stamps.
I discovered Picstitch and all its' glorious filters!
I saw a Cindy Sherman exhibit at SFmoma with my mom a few years ago,
and resolved to take more self-portraits. My next series will be entitled,
"Duck lips and too much eyeliner: a study in fluorescent bathroom lighting"
I can't remember where or how I got it, but I managed to get ahold of a double-sided
omelette pan, and without hyping it up too much, it is THE GREATEST INVENTION
EVER.
LOOK AT MY ADORABLE BREAKFAST.
That's it for now. Let's see where this goes, okey dokey? Kthanksbye!
