Hello Stranger! Freebie Time.

Oh gosh, it's been so long since I've had time to post. 

The year has been hectic but with positive changes and new routines. My focus has been on health and wellness not only for myself, but also for my children. 

Needless to say, memory keeping, crafting and scripting has taken a back seat. That's not to say I've not made time for myself along the way. 

I've taken to sitting at my sunny window (on my yoga mat), committing to morning stretches (without a mat. does that still count as yoga?), and the occasional meditation. And sometimes all I can manage is taking a few conscious deep breaths in.   



A few nights ago, I made time to get my brush out and practice some scripting. 

So here are some freebies to say "hello! hope you are all doing great."




Here's the link for the ETERNITY card on the left, and here is the link for the FAMILY quote card on the right. 

If you use the the free printables, all I ask is that you please tag me on @themakingtable when you share on Instagram. I would love to see how you use them.

MY PROJECT LIFE JOURNAL | March 2015 part 2

I shared a few pages from my March 2015 personal PL journal a few days ago (here) and I'm sharing a few more from that same month. 

I like being able to use more girly cards and patterns in this album as it's just for me. 

Here's the first spread:




This next spread is a photo hubby took when he went for an early morning fish. He saw the dappled sunlight coming through trees and wanted to show me. I'm like the full page photo too -- something I don't do very often. 

The RHS page titled heart words is a blog post I wrote about my relationship with my eldest son and how hard it is sometimes to parent a child who pushes you away (read here). It was important to include in my album because it documents where I was at, on this mothering roller coaster.

The heart words title (below) and the "oh yeah, so good" filler card (above) is from my HEART WORDS kit here



And with that, I'm a quarter of the way through 2015. The question is whether I continue with 2015 or just start 2016...?

MY PROJECT LIFE JOURNAL | March 2015 part 1

Has it really been over two months since my last post..!? That was back in November.

November was jam packed with learning new skills, new ideas and knowledge.

I set myself the November Daily Scripting challenge where I scripted every day in November to practice my brush scripting and shared daily on Instagram. Read original post here

It was interesting to see the quotes I was drawn to for scripting. Here's a few of my favourites:







  
Also in November, I did the 30-day Low Tox Life course with Alexx Stuart. It was a LIFE CHANGER. I don't say things like that lightly. Here's a taster of what you can expect in the course. Alexx has released this topic for public viewing as she believes it's important for everyone be aware. There were so many gems in the course that I spent most of December going over each of the topics and watching all the interviews again. 

November and December was full to the brim leaving no time for Project Life. Here I am in January once again, and I have still not finished one year's worth of Project Life since I started in 2013.

I'm still plodding along with my personal Project Life Journal. Here's a few pages I did for March 2015.



I put my brush script practice into use for these pages and created the Beautiful Mother card (LHS), and the pink pancakes filler (RHS). 

I did a few variations of the pancakes filler as well:



I hope you've enjoyed a lovely start to 2016!

My November Daily Scripting Challenge

I finally say down last week to make a card for a good friend of mine who'd recently had a beautiful baby girl. In my mind, I pictured a card with her daughter's name scripted. I've been trying on and off with my attempts to letter with a brush for almost a year without success. I was almost ready to let it go as one of those things I could not do.

But I couldn't let it go just yet.  

When all the brush lettering started appearing on Instagram a year or so ago, I was in awe. In love. And in envy. Why could my hand not script!?

My beautiful friend Tanyalee from The Drawing Board knows of this obsessive struggle of mine to brush script. I am grateful for her indestructible patience and sincere encouragement because it was Tanyalee who mentioned Random Olive to me. Seeing Random Olive's Instagram videos was the turning point and through practice I saw tiny bits of progress. I even got the card made for baby Charlotte.


  

I have learnt so much just from practicing every day over the last few weeks. 

I realise now that brush size matters. I needed a small brush as this was most comfortable in my hand.  

I was still practicing my scripting late on 31st October. As it reached midnight, I realised we were venturing into a new month, it was now November. It was then that I set myself the challenge to script every day for the entire month of November. And so the hashtag #novdailyscripting was created. This will be my motivation to commit to a daily scripting practice that will hopefully see improvement in my scripting.




Here's what I've shared so far on Instagram:








It's not too late to jump on board and practice your scripting this month. Use the hashtag #novdailyscripting on Instagram if you want to join in!

DIGITAL LAYOUT: A digital template challenge

Last Friday started awesomely (retail therapy), but the afternoon gave rise to a few matters that made me a little anxious. Making decisions is not a strength of mine.

Anyhow, in the late afternoon I came across this digital template challenge from Sahlin Studio and decided to give it a go. It was just the thing for taking the edge off the afternoon's happenings.

Here's a look at what I created:





If you feel like giving this a challenge a go, here's the link

I'm thinking about printing this as a large photo and slipping it straight into a 6x8 pocket.

PS. Please forgive any flaws in my technique as I've never done this before. Any tips you have, I'd love to hear them in the comments below.

PROJECT LIFE | New Release Heart Words Collection

I had put my memory keeping on hold for a little bit while I made some decisions about my approach. 

Did I want to continue with physical albums? Would printed photo books be a better option? Do I continue with the boys' journals? So many questions and options. 

At least now I have a loose plan in place to keep moving forward. For the moment, I will continue documenting 2015 as physical Project Life albums. 

Here's a look at March:




The scripted cards are from my newest Heart Words collection of digital cards from my online store here.



The cards include phrases I say to the boys (eg. love you more), things I say to my myself (ie. just breathe), and headings (eg. so proud) I like to use to tell the stories.

Do you ever become indecisive about how you document and memory keep?

ON MY MIND: Learning and Nurturing

Hello! It's been a while!

Thank you dear readers, who continue to follow this 'lil blog of mine despite my lack of crafty shares lately.

I have had to take the pressure off myself to create and craft. The pressure to keep up. The pressure to seek approval.  

Over the past few months I have been focussed on things I trust will nurture my mind, body and soul.

---

SLEEP, YOGA AND MEDITATION

Test results show I have Adrenal FatigueIn the past, it's not unusual for me to to stay up into the early hours of the morning and function (barely) on 4 - 5 hours sleep. Having these recent test results has reinforced I consistently need more quality sleep.

Part of the treatment is practicing yoga which I had been doing via Yoga with Adriene. I was half way into the 30-days of yoga challenge when the boys got viruses (week long fevers and terrible coughs) which coincided with the school holidays so everything went a little pear shaped. Regardless, I was surprised how much I loved the yoga and noticed less fogginess in my head and more mental clarity within just a few days. Adriene is also really fun to follow along with because she is so relaxed -- check out Day 1! I am keen to get back into it.



Another aspect of the treatment is progressive muscle relaxation which you can read more about here. I purchased the tracks by Joanne D'Amico here. I'm very particular with guided meditations because I needed to find a voice that didn't irritate me when I was trying to relax. Joanne's meditations are fantastic.

THE CONNECTION DOCUMENTARY


Due to a chronic health condition which spanned well over a decade from when I was 24 years old, I have researched, studied and become fascinated with the mind-body connection and how this holds the key to our ability to heal. 

I watched an amazing documentary last month called The Connection. After seeing the trailer, I purchased it immediately! You can purchase it online here.  


"It offers answers and proves that you can change your mind, 
change your health and change your life."  
~ The Connection

I cannot even tell you how much I loved this documentary. Do yourself a favour and at least check out the trailer. The Connection has reinforced why I need to slow down.

BUILDING A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SON



I wrote about my relationship with Mr 11 here a few months ago. Building a stronger connection with my eldest has been my focus for a while now. With some minor social matters at school, it was even more important now for him to feel reassured and supported on the home front. 

We spent the day together, just the two of us, for his birthday last week. 

We went for donuts and birthday shopping which was all very awesome. However, that afternoon things quickly fell apart when he got uber frustrated with me (mid-Lego build) for taking too many photos, and him telling me I'd literally ruined his birthday. 

After I gave him some space, he came over and put his arms around me. Through his tears (and mine) he talked and I listened to him quietly. He told me how he felt about things I honestly had no idea about. We talked as equals, not just as mother and child. Something shifted that day and his behaviour and attitude has changed, for the better. My boy with the tough exterior is a sensitive kind hearted young man who needed to be heard and to hear he is loved and appreciated. Isn't that what we all want?

It takes a certain amount of emotional energy, but it's well worth it.

THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING



I have been overwhelmed in many areas of my life lately. My home workspace that was intended to be my creative haven is cluttered and piled with papers and stuff. Yesterday I sat down to write a list of all the things overwhelming me. I had a sizeable list and I realised most of the items were indeed "things to do". 

The reason I haven't started to work through my list of things to do is because I don't know where anything is! The thought of just looking for the paperwork I need is already too daunting. Last night I came across a book review on "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying" by Marie Kando and I knew I had to give this a go. 

I bought the book today and I can't wait to read it. Mr 11 has already started reading it which is cute. Tonight he asked for his own copy for school so he could read it instead of a library book. Bless him.

---

If you have read this far, thank you.

It's been a time of change, learning and nurturing as I look for ways to simplify and find balance in my life so I am calmer, happier and healthier. Not asking for much, right?

Hope you all have a beautiful week xo

PS. Project Life is still my core memory keeping method so watch this space.

PROJECT LIFE | Feb 2015

Hello Friends! Sure feels good to have finished my February 2015 pages for our family album!

I've had a few photo paper issues which has delayed my printing but I won't go into that here. *boring* 

Just a super quick post today to share the pages. 



Again, I have used my latest Everyday Journalling Collection (shop hereon the RHS of this spread and a few card designs that may or may not be coming soon on the LHS. I say that because family/work life has been a little crazy and things have been put on hold temporarily. But it's getting there! 




Hope you're more up to date than I am ;) and enjoy your week! xo

INSPIRING MY EVERYDAY | Meet Suzanne.

Welcome to the last instalment of interviews with some of the people in my life who inspire my everyday. See other interviews here.

Meet Suzanne, owner of Yogababy. 



I met Suzanne when I joined her Prenatal Yoga classes almost 11 years ago. Like many first time mums, I wanted a natural birth without intervention, unless medical intervention was needed for a safe birth and healthy baby.

Suzanne inspires me with her passion and dedication to empower women by igniting their inner wisdom to birth naturally, using yoga and mind-body techniques.

I also admire Suzanne's commitment to self-love by eating well, keeping fit and active, nurturing her own spiritual wellbeing, and knowing when she needs to allow herself to rest and let go, all whilst managing a busy yoga studio AND teaching classes and workshops.

Let's find out a bit more about Suzanne.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

I've been practicing yoga since my 20's and was inspired to teach yoga after the birth of my son in 1995.  I was raised in Darwin and the Gold Coast and have spent time travelling around Australia (I ended up living in Fremantle, WA for 10 years) and have been to wonderful places in the world as well.  

I completed a Postgraduate Degree in Psychology and worked for awhile with the Salvation Army and Community Volunteer Services in the early 90's.  My turning point was when I became an Environmental Activist and left my full time work to volunteer.  Yoga and my drive to save the Planet became my passions and they have been very instrumental in where I am today.  

I am lucky that I have a natural business mind and have been able to grow the Yogababy business in a sustainable way...I couldnt have done all this without the loving support of my partner of 22 years, Damian and my children, Bodhi (20) and Amrta (17).




What is your favourite childhood memory that makes you smile?

Spending time at Kuta beach in Bali when I was seven years old.  My brother and I loved that we didn't have to go to school and could spend all our time by the ocean. 

What did you do before Yogababy, and what was the driving force for you starting your business?

Before Yogababy, I worked with At Risk Youth for the Salvation Army and was a Volunteer Environmental Campaigner for the Wilderness Society.  The driving force for starting Yogababy was my passion for Yoga and my children.  It seemed the next best step towards following my ideals!


What are the qualities you most admire about your partner?

His capacity to really listen and understand what it is like for the people he cares for.  He is very steadfast and doesn’t give up. 

Who is someone who inspires you and why?

I am inspired by my friend Sarah Buckley, who writes and speaks internationally about birth and our planet. Her daughter Zoe inspires me as she just spent 4 days attached to an Oil Rig which is on its way to mine the Artic to highlight to the world that the oil would not be accessible if it was not for climate change. 


What is the most rewarding and the most challenging part of your work?

My most rewarding experience is seeing the babies and mums when they return after giving birth to tell their stories in the yoga classes.  Having other pregnant mums witnessing their journey is amazing and very unique.

The most challenging part is responding to emails when pregnancy and birth doesn't go well and leaves our mums and babies compromised.

What has been the most challenging thing in your life and what positive lessons have come from it?

Having children has been the most challenging experience...such a whirlwind of changes both emotionally and physically.  I really respect life and trust that our children will inherently grow into emotionally resilient and intelligent human beings if we nurture them well.

It has been said that children are our greatest teachers. What has motherhood taught you?

Motherhood has taught me to trust..myself, my partner, my children...to surrender to flow of the family and just let things turn out well. 


Can you share one of your proudest moments?

My son turned 20 years old today.  Last year he attended a yoga and meditation retreat with me on his birthday.  He was so present to the practices and fully helped out in the kitchen.  

Lastly, what would you friends describe as being the qualities they love most about you?

I’m passionate, kind and supportive  

Thank you Suzanne for your time today. It's wonderful how dedicated you are to helping women trust the wisdom of their own bodies, not just in birth and parenthood, but in everyday life.

INSPIRING MY EVERYDAY | Meet Tanyalee.

Hello!! Welcome to another INSPIRING MY EVERYDAY interview. You can read the others here.

Meet my most amazing friend Tanyalee. 



Tanyalee is the author of The Drawing Board where she shares her beautiful project life pages, art journalling, gardening and recipes. Tanyalee did a guest post about a year ago here.

We live in different states but we 'talk' everyday and our husbands wonder how we haven't run out of things to talk about yet. 

Tanyalee inspires me with her motivation and commitment to getting the everyday things done. She works full-time and is a dedicated mother of 3 children, so on weekends she is an absolute machine when it comes to getting through the housework, meal planning and preparation, driving children to work/sports, and she still makes time to craft and blog, AND get a decent night's sleep. Amazing. 

Tanyalee is great at reminding me to stay true to myself when I have moments of self doubt. I love this girl to bits. Always there to motivate and inspire me to get things done (ie. get off couch!) and there to listen and offer supportive words of advice and reassurance when I need it most.

So let's meet Tanyalee! 

In a few sentences, tell us a little about yourself.

I am a mum to three big kids, a wife to my childhood sweetheart, a full time graphic designer and a part time crafter/art journaller. I love growing veggies to feed my family, I love raising my fur babies (cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens) and I love spending my spare time just pottering around my house. I LOVE being at home more than anything else - as long as my family is nearby of course.

What is your favourite childhood memory that makes you smile?

To be honest, my childhood was a bit of an up and down experience - especially my teenage years so I don't have many happy memories of those - so choosing my favourite childhood memory is a bit of a struggle. I do remember two trips to Whyalla, South Australia quite fondly though - they were both to be part of the wedding party for two of my Aunties. 

One was when I was 11 or 12 and it was such a fun time, getting dressed up and walking down the aisle (or through the gardens as the case was) to be part of my Aunty's special day. 

The second was when I was 14 or 15 and again, I was so proud to be standing up for my Aunty in her Big Fat Greek Wedding. It was truly an experience I will remember forever and makes me smile for sure.


You are a Graphic Designer by day, and an amazing art journaling artist by night. If money was no object, what would your dream job be like?

Hmmmm, I actually really love what I do every day. I love being able to communicate messages using imagery and design styles. I love making pretty things. I call myself a pretty picture person at work - it is kind of the only way people actually understand what I do. So if money was no object I think I would actually still be making pretty pictures. Maybe not with as many defined rules though. Maybe I would branch out and experiment further with my art, take more photos, play with paint, and learn even more skills to make pretty things on my computer. Design is my life - but you know what - it was only by reflecting on this question that I have realised just how much it means to me. I can't picture myself doing anything else.


Describe one of your happy places. 

My happy place - at first I thought this was a tough question - I thought that the answer would need to be somewhere with amazing scenery or somewhere expensive and lush, but to be honest the place that I am happiest is wherever my family is. Wherever my kids and husband are I will be happy. In my home - be it a small brick box in the suburbs or a stone cottage in the country. Home is my happy place, surrounded by those near and dear to me.


Who inspires you and why?

I am inspired by a lot of people - crafters, bloggers, friends, family - but the one person who I will never lose respect for is my Mother-in-Law. 

She is the most dedicated, caring, self-less person I have ever met. She has raised four amazing men, she has been there to help us with our kids when things were tough, and in more recent times has cared for her husband through a terrible, debilitating illness. 

She always puts her families needs ahead of her own, even when doing so puts her own body under enourmous strain. She inspires me to be a better person, to care more, and to help people more.

What is one of your all-time favourite quotes and why?

"Do not worry until you really have something to worry about." 

This has become my self-appointed mantra in the last 10 years. I have suffered from debilitating anxiety for the past 10 years or so and this little reminder has been my saviour on quite a few occassions. It isn't anything ground breaking, but it is enough to help me break free of the crazy and get on with things. I mean really, what is the point of working myself into a frenzy if there actually isn't anything to worry about. Easy to say - not so easy to do!



What has been the most challenging thing in your life and what positive lessons have come from it?

The most challenging thing in my life is also one of the hardest things for me to talk about. I was sexually harassed/assaulted when I was 15 years old by my employer. It was an awful, awful thing for a teenager to deal with and it has had many, many repercussions for me as the years have gone by. And while this was a horrible experience that I wouldn't wish upon any teenaged girl (or boy for that matter) it has also taught (and continues to teach) me some great lessons.
  • I am stronger than I think I am.
  • It's definitely OK to ask for help and to talk about the bad stuff in our lives - especially with our kids
  • And sometimes we have to face our demons head on to be able to move on in life.

It has been said that children are our greatest teachers. What has motherhood taught you?

Motherhood is such a wonderful thing. I can't imagine my life without my kids. Sure I started early, and kind of bluffed my way through things, but I wouldn't have it any other way. My kids are my world, followed very closely by my husband and my animals (in no particular order - haha).

Being a Mum has taught me that happiness is about more than material things - it is about creating happy experiences and memories for my kids by just spending time together. It isn't always about getting the biggest, most extravagant gift for birthdays or Christmas, it is about spending time together and enjoying each others company.

Being a Mum has taught me patience. So much patience. Toddlers are trying little creatures and without patience we would never raise healthy adults.

Being a Mum has taught me to accept everyone for who they are. Each child is different and we cannot create expectations for them based on past experiences or even their siblings.

Being a Mum has taught me that I am worthy of love, and that I can love freely.


Can you share one of your proudest moments?

One of my proudest moments in life would have to be the delivery of my first baby - and picking just one of my kids births is really hard because they are all such amazing creatures, but my first baby was a surprise - a very happy surprise. I was young, had no idea what I was getting myself into, and I was alone - apart from my boyfriend (now husband) of course - but I had no family nearby and I felt very alone. I could always call on my Mum and Mum-in-Law for advice, but it isn't quite the same thing as having them on the other side of town, or just around the corner.

I remember being handed the phone not long after Nik was born and ringing Mum and saying 'I did it Mum, I made a baby and he is beautiful'. I was just so proud of myself, and I don't think I have ever felt that proud in my life. Well except for maybe when they reach their own cool milestones like starting school, and high school and university (yep my boy is a uni student and I am very proud of that), and watching them perform at dance concerts and eisteddfods, or school assemblies, or watching them play sport or get their drivers licence. So many cool moments - just being a parent makes me proud almost every single day.

Tanyalee's eldest son (now a teen) with much loved and greatly missed AstroBoy.

Lastly, what would your friends describe as three qualities they love most about you?

These kinds of questions are always hard - what do people love most about me? I would like to think it is because I am loyal, and I care about them, and that I am honest.

If you are good to me, then I will do everything to fight for you - I will defend your honour, I will talk you up, I will keep your secrets, and I will be there whenever you need me.

I care about those close to me very deeply. If you are sad or frightened or struggling, I will be there to support you. If you are happy, I will be happy. If you are sick I will try to help you.

I like to think I am an honest person. I definitely won't lie - honesty is a very important quality to me - it is the basis of building trust. Therefore I am always honest with my friends and family and I hope that means as much to them as it means to me.

Thank you Tanyalee for your time, and for your openness and honesty with your answers.

INSPIRING MY EVERYDAY | Meet Kellie.

Hello and welcome to another guest in my INSPIRING MY EVERYDAY series! My intention from the beginning was to not feature only crafters, even though there are many crafters/bloggers who's work I admire. 

I wanted to introduce you to some people who inspire me in my everyday life. You can check out the other guests here.

My guest today does however fall into the category of both crafter and blogger. And although I love her Project Life layouts, she inspires me in other areas of my life too.

Meet my good friend Kellie. Kellie is a wife, and mother of 3 gorgeous girls. She is the author of Give a Girl a Blog, and owner of Aussie stamp company Kellie Stamps.  


One of the things I admire most about Kellie is the way she is dedicated to spending quality time with her girls. She has movie night with them at least once a week, if not more. Not to mention organising super fun crafting projects for her little two during school holidays as well. I really love that she does that. 

She told me something that has really stuck with me. Kellie said when her girls come to her, even if she is in the middle of something, she will stop and look them in the eye so they know they have her full attention. How simple is that for being present with the kids!? This is something I now do with my two boys. 

So let's meet Kellie!

What were you doing before Kellie Stamps and what inspired the beginnings of your business?

Before Kellie Stamps, how far back, haha.  Before my youngest two I was in administration for a works company. I absolutely loved my job, but I wanted to be a stay at home mum this time round. 

Just before I started Kellie Stamps, I had our youngest at home with me, middle girl in kindergarten and eldest in school.

I was inspired to start Kellie Stamps when I started to get into project life.  I really started to get into stamping and I was frustrated at what was available for Australian's with our way of spelling.  The fact we have Summer at Christmas and so on.  




Describe one of your happy places. (happy place is open to your own interpretation)

Home.  Honestly I can be a bit of a hermit.  But I feel safe, happy and myself in my home with my family.  If ever I'm away and I feel ill, getting home will instantly make me feel that little bit better.  



Who inspires you and why?

Oh this is a hard one, and the funny thing is, I ask it to people I interview as well.  I'm honestly inspired by so many crafters and bloggers.  But I'd have to say, my girls.  After watching them craft their hearts out the other day, I realised they these 3 girls, they inspire me way more than I've ever actually realised.  Kira inspires me with her strength and courage that I completely lacked at her age, being extremely shy.



You and your husband have a beautiful connection.  Can you describe what you love and admire about him?

Thank you Sue, that is so incredibly sweet of you to say.  How long do we have, haha?  

I love that he makes me laugh, daily.  I admire his complete honesty and loyalty.  I love his devotion to our girls.  But most of all I love that he can walk in after a busy and often hard day at work with a smile on his face, a kiss and cuddle for us all, even Pippa our dog, minus the kiss for her though, haha. I've often have to race her to him.  Last of all, the fact that the day we married he started calling me 'wifey'.



It has been said that children are our greatest teachers. What has motherhood taught you? 

Patience, and I'll be the first to admit there are days I'm still not very good at it. It's taught me to be more open. It taught me that I didn't realise you could love 3 people so darn much that you could burst.  

The one thing I do struggle with is letting go.  Kira is a teen and almost 16 and I'm having a lot of trouble letting her experience life, because I'm not letting her make her own mistakes, to learn from them. Something I'm working on and something we talk about.



Can you share one of your proudest moments?

One, well hmmmm. Giving birth is right up there, of course, something I share with Luke and I will always cherish.  

But a proudest moment for me personally would be the day I got my licence. I got it later in life and I was so nervous and had been practicing so much with my mother in law, so nervous as I fail tests easily because I crack under the pressure of tests. But I aced it, and I was so proud of  myself.



Lastly, what would your friends say are the three things they most love about you?

My humor.
Being there when they need me most.
Last of all I would hope would be my loyalty.

Is there anything coming up for Kellie Stamps that you would like to share?

Every month I've got 1-2 releases.  In the coming months there might even be a month of 3-5 sets being released in the one month!


Thank you Kellie for sharing a bit more about yourself today!

You can find Kellie on her blog here, her shop here, and her Instagram @giveagirlablog.

A few more guest to come so stay tuned!
