The Sunday Creative ~ Prompt 4

Week 4's prompt of

TRADITIONAL

at Madeline's The Sunday Creative had me stumped (yet again!). As I was plating my dinner tonight, I realised that; apart from the burger being vegetarian, I was having a traditional meal of burger, salad, fried onions and chips. So, in all its glory, here it is:

Thanks for looking.

Take care, love Sarah C xx

Creativity Boot Camp Day 10

Today's inspiration on Creativity Boot Camp was the phrase "FULL BODIED". I had no idea what to do for this. I could have photographed some red wine, but as I don't drink it, that wasn't going to happen. So, what to do, what to do ..... . Sitting down to my dinner tonight, I realised that I was getting full and I had hardly started eating. Quick, grab the camera and take a photo of what was making me "Full Bodied". I will apologise now for how my plate looks. If I'd known I was going to be photographing it, I would have plated it up for the camera, not just so it could be eaten. At least it shows I do occasionally cook myself a meal!!

Thanks for looking

Love, Sarah C xx

30th September

Well everyone, we're at the end of the month. 30 days of learning, 30 days of blogging and only 7 LOs! I lost my scrapping mojo big time after only a week of this project, but was determined to keep up with noting my learning. I have all my papers and embellishments ready and waiting should the mojo return.

So, the final day's instalment.

30th September I learnt that:

1) I have finally seen a project through to the end, all be-it in a different form to the one I started with.

2) I can still go to town and not be tempted by the cheap shops.

3) chippy chips taste so much nicer when you really fancy them, rather than as a quick and easy meal.

4) sometimes a present doesn't have to be expensive to be 'just right'. The best purses mum and I have had have come from The Factory Shop.

5) I have learnt more this month than I thought I would.

That's all I have for you for now. I'll be back when and if I have some LOs to show you. Thank you for stopping by.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

29th September

29th September I learnt that:

1) I need to put extra money aside for the things that should cost 'not a lot'. The lamp I'm having made is going to cost a little more than first thought, but still a really good price and much cheaper than buying one off the shelf. Thank goodness for having a friend that can do stuff like this so there's hardly any labour costs.

2) once I start sorting out things, it leads to other things and seems never ending.

3) I can do a shop in Morrisons and not spend too much. About time too!

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

27th September

27th September I learnt that:

1) my tablets make me really sleepy.

2) cooking a lovely meal doesn't have to take ages in preparation time.

3) after finishing a LO for a GDT slot, I really am not into scrapbooking at the moment.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

25th September

25th September I learnt that:

1) I should check what is actually in the freezer before planning a meal.

2) the best time to avoid supermarket crowds on a Friday is after 8 o'clock in the evening.

3) avoidance doesn't get things done.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

24th September

24th September I learnt that:

1) I need to eat before going for a blood test.

2) it's too easy to order a takeaway.

3) even with the postal strikes, some parcels come through the next day.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

23rd September

23rd September I learnt that:

1) the kindness of friends is amazing. I came home from the jobcentre today to find some beautiful yellow roses with lovely touching words on the card.

2) it helps to organise early especially if you need to internet shop.

3) it is possible for me to go to town for an appointment and not be tempted by the cheap shops.

4) my new tablets make me so hungry.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

21st September

21st September I learnt that:

1) making tomato soup is easier than I remembered.

2) I'm not very good at coping with visitors at the moment even if I think I am doing ok while they're here.

3) the Learn Direct Literacy Course I did and got an OCR level 2 certificate for is apparently equivalent to a GCSE Grade A-C!!

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

20th September

20th September I learnt that:

1) I can have a day out to pick up a couple of things and do a little shopping without being an emotional wreck part way through. Deep breathing helps as did the sleep in the car between Milton Keynes and Peterborough.

2) I much prefer sitting upstairs in Pizza Hut where it's quieter.

3) making a 'to do' list can be scary, but breaking it all down into small things at a time with the odd treat thrown in helps.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

17th September

17th September I learnt that:

1) it's lovely having the occasional child-free girlie brunch and day with my cousin.

2) chilli's delicious especially when someone else cooks it.

3) it is possible to get dairy free ice-cream from a shop nearby and very yummy it is too.

4) I get panicky if I'm sitting in a pub for a couple of hours. Didn't stop the evening being great, just wish I felt more like I could cope with things.

5) a great night out doesn't have to cost much. Free pub quiz and a glass of OJ, even if we didn't win.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

15th September

15th September I learnt that:

1) even the doctor thinks I'm depressed. I've been given anti-depressants and am being referred to counselling.

2) I really feel I should be shut away from the world until I improve as I'm no good to be around.

3) a short nap in the afternoon helps me to feel more awake for the evening. Fantastic especially as I only get a couple of hours sleep during the night.

4) comfort eating only adds lbs to the scales. Knew that already, but it got confirmed again when I went on the scales in Boots today!!! :o

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

13th September

13th September I learnt that:

1) I should eat little and often.

2) too often something is not used/forgotten about/all but discarded until someone else wants it and will make daily use of it, then you start to wonder what you've been missing out on. 'Too little, too late' usually.

3) it's lovely coming home to a gorgeous 'non-birthday' card from a friend.

4) I don't have as much patience as I used to have.

5) I can't tell someone how I really feel about them because I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of negative feelings. Instead I've written it down in a Word document to delete when I feel ready to.

6) milk is too often used in a product when it doesn't have to be (Walkers salt & vinegar crisps), but it's a fantastic feeling (and taste) when something I used to love doesn't have milk in (Tesco chocolate limes).

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

11th September

11th September I learnt that:

1) green tomatoes will eventually ripen on a windowsill, but it could take several days. Better to leave them on the plant.

2) the saying "I'll just do this quickly" is just that. A saying and not a reality.

3) it takes more patience and paper than I thought I had to simplify a craft project for children to make.

4) I still cannot make a good looking omelette. Tasted great, but was a 'mess on a plate'.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx

8th September

Day 7's LO is yet to be done.

8th Sepember I learnt that:

1) sometimes it's better to keep out the way and often out of sight.

2) sometimes silence is golden.

3) it's ok being a close family, but it would be nice not to feel you have to tell them almost everything without them getting narked because they 'didn't know' and that last bit goes for me too.

4) I eat out of boredom and when I'm feeling low and it's worse if I'm feeling both together. This is something I knew before, but it was re-inforced today. I also go for savoury as much as sweet foods at these times too.

Love and hugs, Sarah C xx
