Creating that creative space...

I figured out towards the end of last year there was something missing in my life. It was pretty much all work and no play. Now, I'm not saying I don't love my work(s) - I just didn't have any "me" time.


One of the bonuses of working at a school is the 40 week a year work life (the down side is not getting paid for the 12 weeks I don't work)


So these holidays, I have been doing little creative projects - the first one to go "out there" is my wooden peg fridge magnets. So easy to make, minimal outlay and a little time and there are some cool ones coming out of my craft area (known to my partner as the "can you clear a space so I can eat my dinner on the dining table area".


Here are some of the first off the line. I am thinking about popping them on Trademe to see if anyone would buy them. I think this would help my DP see that there is a tangible meaning to my efforts if someone actually does buy some!


UPDATE!!!
Just done the cutest 50's inspired ones! Check them out below. AND I got a bulk order for 20 sets of my pegs - go me!!
