#493 Quality Time is for Everyone with Zerkalo and Iconic














I was reading an article the other day and it talked about 'Quality Time'. Today’s world has never moved faster. Where emails and phone calls seem to take priority over everything else aren’t we all forgetting what really matters? Making a difference to those who mean the most to us.


Everyone knows that spending time with friends and family is important. But it still sits a long way down our list of daily priorities. Just making that little extra effort can go such a long way, and ultimately our children and relationships benefit from it the most. Experts agree that quality time spent with children can help them become more balanced as an adult. It takes only 15 minutes per day to reconnect with a child and in turn make a real difference. Whether playing, reading a story, sharing a meal or even an ice cream. It doesn’t really matter what you do. The important thing is that you do it in the first place.

In spending more quality time for myself on my blog creations, Zerkalo have released the beautiful ‘Evelin’s Bathroom’ set at the August round of FAMESHED. The set is available in both PG and Adult versions. There are 2 versions of the bathtub – golden and silver which refers to the faucet and piping textures. The Silver I have used in the above picture. In addition to the bathtubs there are red and white rose petal textured pieces to place on top of the water, or on the ground which I have used above, and beautiful decorative sets of candles (single and double), rolled towels, rug, stepladder and flat towels. With the adorable creations from Iconic available at Chapter Four on now, I couldn't resist adding the Iconic mice to this setting.



So what are you waiting for, come take a walk to our destination for today: -

#485 Parallel Play with Bauhaus Movement


'A parallel universe or alternative reality is a hypothetical self-contained in a separate reality coexisting with one’s own.’
As a child I always had the somewhat strange feeling there was another Me somewhere, maybe it was wishful thinking. I could sense it but did not understand what it meant. When I talked about it with friends they thought I had simply lost my mind. So I stopped talking about it…For example when I was riding my bike on my way to school, I could not help thinking about The Other Me whom I felt Connected to. My play friend. Because I wanted to be part of the normal people (hahahahahaha) I decided not to mention it anymore. In that time people really thought you were totally abnormal when you had crazy ideas like that and considered you to be a psychiatric patient when you believed this was possible. One thing is sure, I am not a patient. I am a High Sensitive Person like many Others and have big ideas.
Much has changed since then. Science developed a huge interest in finding explanations for The Other Me’s, ‘Quantum Leaps’, they called it, Parallel Universes. They seemed to be totally convinced there was a parallel Universe with another Me, or several Universes called Multi-Universes with people exactly like me and you in a different dimension. If that was true.
This would explain dreams as well. Have you ever experienced a dream that was so vivid, and you wake up feeling like you were just there. Some people say it is a past life, some people say your dreams are you consciousness, and some say that it is from your parallel self. Whatever the case you remember every single detail and it feels so realistic. We can have dreams which are telling us what to do. We can dream about our beloved Ones. But we can also experience dreams in which we watch the Other Me…I remember dreams in which I literally SAW another Me. Making different choices and working out lines of my Destiny. Just food for thought, what if you found your other me, what would you do?
For now "me" is travelling to our destination for today and that being the Shiny Shabby Event for the month of July. Wearing the beautiful and unique design from one awesome designer and that being Bauhaus Movement, I bring to you our destination for today: -

#457 This dry land has some sunshine with GizzA Creations

Feeling very patriotic about my country Australia, I have to write about some places that have received rain for the first time in over seven years. Friends called me a few days ago excited that the rains had arrived. Could you imagine seven years without rain!!?  Pretty hard to imagine. Their young children were terrified at what was coming down and hitting them on the face. To us it is common, every so many days it hits our roofs, our cars, our face as we walk. It is wet and annoying but needed. It is known as rain water. The children were so terrified, they screamed all the way to their parents thinking that the heavens were indeed falling on them. I know that is hard to believe but there are places in Australia that have not seen rain for some time.

In 2010, South East of Australia was in the grip of “the big dry” or what was called the “millennium drought” - billed as the worst drought since European settlement. Dams across the Murray-Darling Basin were down to only 25% of capacity. Then the floods came, followed by yet more floods. In some areas the dams are now almost 100% full. The first time in 8 years. Several thousands of gigalitres have been released. Government has spent billions of dollars trying to prepare Australia for the next dry, but the complexity of droughts means we have little hope of being ready. If you can imagine, Entire floodplain forests died along the rivers of the Murray-Darling Basin; for many of them, the drought was just the final straw.  The dry not only affects farmers but our livestock, our wildlife and from the recent droughts, some species of animals have disappeared. Whilst Australia they say is a great place to live, it also has it underlying problems and that is the millennium droughts that affect us.

#380 Suppertime consists of Storytelling and Cake


For my no '380' blog post I would like to thank the amazing creators and designs that I used for this post. The idea behind this post reminded me of the good ole days and I'm not that old!

I believe we are in desperate times, people and desperate times call for desperate measures. So it is with great verve and energy that I issue a battle cry for action.

It is time we took back what is rightfully ours, families of the world. It is time we re-claimed our rights to that all-important evening hour- a time once known as supper, which held the power in its reach to gather together people from diverse activities and places and in so doing, press the pause button on whatever other all-important, pressing concerns might have been going on at the time.
It’s time we got our supper hour back.

Thankyou to Apple Fall for giving me this idea with their splendid double tier and strawberry on top cake that is available now as a Gacha item. We need to come home. Who cares about our diets, who cares about cholesterol,  It is time to snuggle up, grab a good book and wait for that once fabulous meal time called Suppertime.

#347 Writers Block with Indrya Originals






All of a sudden, your blog seems like a dog biting your heel cap and refusing to let go. You do not have time for yourself, all your research zeal has been exhausted and the topics you want to write on are all watered down. They have no juice anymore. You have no juice anymore. Welcome to the world of writer’s block! Well this is me at present.


All bloggers reach their writing limits at one time or the other. After blogging for some time, ideas just seem to vanish into thin air. All the great topics on your blogging pad have either been flawlessly covered in another blog, outfits copied, or simply the same, or you have the title, but no content to write. When this happens, and it happened to me last week when I was sick.


 I say to myself, something will change, rest, read more mazagines, more books, take a breather, walk outside in the warm winter sun. Don't throw a tantrum, don't throw out the typewriter yet or hurl it over the balcony. Clear you mind and yes you can change the color of your pen, but hanging the gloves is not an option. You need to bring your sexy back and so I will.. (I hope).
