I thought I would play with a little more colours - ones that I don't often use... suprisingly it's a good challenge - because it turns out I like the combination of the orange and green together.
We all need to escape our cages - and this is a sure sign of freedom to me.....

1000 Squares Project

A flickr & facebook friend Lia has completed her project to create 1000 inchies..... Wow, they look fab - you can visit her link to her site above.

How's Your Spelling?

What kind of thinker are you? My results:

Your Thinking is Abstract and Random

You are flexible, adaptable, and creative. There's many ways that you can learn - and you're up for any of them. You relate well to other people, and you do well working in groups. You can help people communicate together and work with each other's strengths. You don't work well with people who are competitive or adversarial. You prefer to work toward a common goal... not toward conflicting goals.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?

My poor old puss is almost 19 years old. Amy took her to the vet the other day as she has not been seeming well. Well, she is totally deaf, has pneumonia and then on top of that we found out her Liver has given out - and that all we can do is wait for her 'time to pass'...
she is sleeping a lot, still likes eating her biscuits and is still very alert - It's sad and I am giving her lots more attention and cuddles, as she seems to be slipping away a little more each day :(
