Learning Something New

'If you don't use it, you lose it'. That's what they say, right? So this week I decided to use my brain and try something new. My son uses photoshop and he's been on at me for ages to have a go, so I thought I'd give it a try! I found it quite confusing - all those icons! I thought I'd never get my head around it all but I persevered and slowly began to pick it up. I'm still very slow but at least I've made a start. Here's my first creation... It's very basic but you have to walk before you can run!! :o)



The weather's been crap again today so I just pottered around the house before going to work this afternoon. BORING! I hope it brightens up soon - the trees outside are still looking very bare, they should be greening up by now.

My mission for the next couple of weeks is to sort out all my junk and get rid of it - I've really got far too much stuff and it's starting to get on my nerves. I've got a whole shed full of hobby stuff that I don't use any more, but whenever I start to sort through it, I think it's too good to throw away! Then I think that maybe I'll start using it again. I've got to get out of this mindset - it's like those hoarders that are on tele, I can understand how they feel when they say they can't bring themselves to chuck stuff out. Thankfully I'm not that bad - my hoard hasn't found its way into the house yet, but my shed would look a whole lot better without that lot in there. I've got a dolls house in there which needs a clean up and a coat of paint, I think I'll do that and see if I can sell it, and if I can't I'll give it away, probably put it on freecycle, it's a shame for it just to be sitting in the shed doing nothing.
