Room (a little) improved

Ok so it has been a very busy two days in the Rock Doll camp!

 There has been lunch dates galore, singing lessons, the creation of a database (Zzzz factor) and general errands that needed my attention.

Today was made very special when a close friend of mine got a boost of sorts. I just love when people have a spring in their step. Especially the ones who really deserve it. (you know who you are yaaaaay)

Anyway, I have only managed to do 1 of the 2.5 hours on my little space so far. Good things take time eh???

Here is a sneak peak of the progress.

Room to improve

So this is a bit of an unusual tactic. 
Im posting this random (and nasty) photo of one of the rooms in my house. The reason being….. to motivate myself and to prove to you what can be done in a very short space of time and with a little bit of creativity. I've just moved house and this was due to be my little office /creative space. As you can see fromm the pic, I can't exactly get in there to do much about anything however….the next photo I post tomorrow will hopefully be very different!

Just for kicks, I've set some guidelines

• Allowed expenditure: zero
• Time for project: 2.5 hours max (ambitious)
• Brief: Create a fun and productive working environment.

BEFORE

Hmmm, this is a rather embarrassing exercise. Might I just remind you, I've just moved ;)

Fund It

This is a great program I recently stumbled across. It's a super incentive for people who have a dream but not the funds to make it a reality. I just love when people think outside the box, especially in theses times of economic instability.

"Fund it is a new all-island crowdfunding website for Ireland’s creative projects, giving everyone the power to help good ideas happen.

Fund it is designed to support greater individual giving to the creative sector; an area that up until now has been under-utilised. The approach serves to strengthen the bond between a creator and their audience which offers the potential for wider-ranging, long-term relationships."

Fund It

Well done to all involved and also to those who contributed to making things happen.
