My project challenge

In October 2013 l was sick and eventually had to come out of work on sick leave. to make a long story short l was sick for quite a long time and finally was lucky enough to be in a position to take a career break.  Over the last few months some of my old energy has returned and l finally feel enthusiastic about learning new things and trying new things.

My ipad mini  has been the best gift l have ever received. It has been my constant companion over the last 11 months.  It has made things so easy to find, to share, to save.
I discovered Pinterest, which to be fair, l had resisted for quite some time and then l fell for it big time.
Many people cant get the attraction of it.
For me it was so simple.
Initially it was a way to look at things that cheered me when l was sick, things that made me smile, things that inspired me. Over time l began to create more and more folders.
in more recent times as l felt more energised about doing more, l decided to put into practice all these things l found amazing, interesting, handy tips, recipes, house cleaning ideas, arts and crafts ideas and so on, into a folder called Projects for me & Projects for me and my kids.
I decided to try something from this folder every week to begin with. Some for me, some for me and my kids.


Its great fun to be honest. I can try a recipe. I can let the kids look at the folder and pick a new art project. I can use the folder to organise my utility room, my laundry, my medicine cabinet.  So, l thought l would keep a record of all the things l have tried and all the new things l have done.
