my creative space . cleanup

a clean~up is due in my space!
this is how i've left it while i do my tax {we all know this is the opposite of creative!}, and work on some listings etc. . .
that silly accident i had on the weekend: in my earnest attempts to improve my photography and get some clearer pics of the calendar, i did get into a pretty awkward position {bent over the back of a chair, balancing the camera on the edge to keep it still, facing directly to the ground} and dropped my camera onto the concrete, lens first! it retaliated with this message: lens error :( which i took to mean, lens is never going to go in or out again {seems to be the case}.
so, i'm having a camera~related sale this week! {details here}
i have a lend of a camera in the mean time, but am going to look at getting a beautiful new one :)
any suggestions on which type to go for?

hope you are having a creative time today ~ visit kirsty at kootoyoo for more fun spaces.

** also, big thanku to kylie for this post :)

crash, bang, it's all ok, sale!

last week i posted a note in the etsy forums about joining in this weekend's huge sale {buy an original and receive a free print} then on wednesday, just after i had a sale come from madeit in the minutes before i had to leave the house to pick up my 4yr old from kinder} my computer froze and started to make a noise like a vacuum cleaner. i tried to restart etc but no luck. i left the house in a state of mild panic . . . i had not made any backups in the whole 2yrs, 7 months of owning this computer! . . . all the photos of the kids, all my work . . .

when i returned the situation hadn't fixed itself! so the last few days has been filled with dread, panic and STRESS. for more than 24 hours i didn't know if i had lost all of the above and/or the computer. in the mean time a friend came around with an external hard drive {an early christmas present} and saved everything, and my husband took the sick mac to get looked at and it turns out that it's just a case of memory loss - and luckily with computers we can buy them new memory! it's still getting fixed {hence my clumsy post via my husband's pc laptop} and i'm pretty sure it'll all be ok next week - i will get my limbs back!! and i promise i will backup from now on . . .

life, sales and thankfully the weekend must go on!

happy saturday :)
