  • This weeks Inspiration Workshop over at Gussy Sews is all about the beach.

    The beach is one of my most favourite places. It holds so many memories for me.  Holidays with my grandparents - getting caught in a wind storm on the beach and having to run against the wind to try to get off the beach and into the sugar cane fields.


    Winter holidays to Mapalane with great friends and caravans. Spending two weeks each year walking along the beach watching the sun rise, catching sea lice to use for bait, watching little sea turtles making their way to the waterline, going snorkeling and see an entirely new world beneath the waters surface and constantly having to had and lock everything away before leaving the caravan to stop the monkeys running off with everything!!  The number of times we came back to the caravan to find the monkeys in our tent, going through our fruit bowl or the fridge or even our clothing.  I lost a flip-flop one year........please tell me what a monkey is going to do with one flip-flop?

    Anyways, as i was saying the Beach holds soooo many memories for me that i will always love it

    This weeks Inspiration Workshop over at Gussy Sews is all about those things that Inspires me. There are so many things that inspire me i don't really know where to start. So, i thought it would be a good idea to start with those things which are currently inspiring me.

    Lets start with Marie Forleo. I only stumbled across her site a few days ago and this is the first video that i have watched of hers and while i don't have my own business, her advice is sound. If you have a goal, and lets face it - we all do, she gives one little nugget of wisdom that is so practical and easy I wondered why i hadn't thought of it before......

    A filter question that you apply to your daily tasks and situations to see if it helps you achieve your goals - genius! 


    Amazing websites like pinterest have got soooo much inspiration on them.  There are a hundred places to start with this site.

    How about these gorgeous flowers.  Orange, yellow and white are great combinations and having them in this cute paper funnel thing, hanging on the door just makes it that much more pretty.

    And then we have this. What inspires me about this picture is a lot of things. I love the bright colours against the brown fabric and cream walls.  I love the uniqueness of the room and the artistic flare to it.  I love how cosy the room looks, its so inviting. I could see myself curling up in the afternoon sun reading a good book.

    And finally how about this bracelet......I love the elephant and the African feel to it. It makes me think of home and brings a smile to my face.

    Inspiration comes in many shapes and sizes.  What i love best about inspiration is how individual it is and how the simplest thing can spark the greats idea.

    This weeks Inspiration Workshop over at Gussy Sews is all about Sunshine.  Growing up in South Africa means that sunshine was a huge part of my life. I LOVE sunshine and all that it brings with it.  Happy memories of fun filled days, lazy saturdays spent with friends, the most amaizing thunder and lightening storms....and all of this and so much more just from sunshine.

    This photo is from my last trip back home to South Africa in September last year.  First stop Cape Town to visit my aunt and cousins. We spent the day at Hermanus with whales just off the ocean shore, the sun shinning up above, guys doing weird and wonderful things like the above and lots of shopping at the local market. 

    To me sunshine equals happiness!

    Its week #4 of the Inspiration Workshop! linky party and i am totally loving this weeks prompt!


    The Prompt ~

    This week’s Inspiration Workshop! prompt is spending the day playing. These past few weeks my life has been so stressful and so unbalanced that spending the day playing did me the world of good.  Weekend are supposed to be for relaxing and catching up on things but mine seem to have been filled to the brim with things that, if i felt i had a choice, i probably wouldnt do. So, today I am saving may Play Day for a little later on, when i have the time to really enjoy it.  For now I am going to share some time spent playing that makes me smile.

    My Inspiration ~

    Now its your turn ~

    I cant remember where i came across this little flow chart on project decision making, but it really made me smile so i thought i would share it.  What i like most about it is that with a little bit of tweaking, you can totally transform this into a flow chart for every day decision making needs.
