Confession: I'm just a dork...

{picture of my cat, just because!}

t's true. I admit it. Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a dork!
I love computers, I love photoshop, I love code.

I'm not the kind of girl to go and get her nails done or spend hours at the hair salon. I would rather work in the garden or get my hands all sticky with glue and paint. I would rather be in a beautiful garden taking photos of a rose from a hundred different angles.

I would rather sew or craft or make something than watch TV.
In fact, If I watch 2 hours of TV a week it's a lot.
However, I never miss 'Fringe', it's about the only thing I am hooked on.
And 'Come dine with me'-what a fun program!

Speaking of sewing and crochet..I made this little hello kitty bag for my daughter last night. It's just two small granny squares sewed together with some chains for the handles and I sewed some lining into the insides. She adores hello kitty and loves her little bag!


I would rather stay at home and crochet than be at the mall shopping.
In fact I hate malls, I can't stand shopping and I dislike crowds.

I think my dorkiness seeps into all areas of my life...I am a dorky mom too.
I slip little notes into my kids lunch box's, imagining their smiles as they see a little piece of
paper from their mom in there...
What's on the notes? Just random things....a quote, a picture, sometimes just a smiley face...
I just want them to know I thought of them.


Even my dreams are dorky...Last night I had a dream about planets that fell to earth but they were tiny, about the size of watermelons. The outer layer fell off, the middle disintegrated and the planet became mangoes which we ate. Who dreams such things??!! Obviously only a real dork.

So my friends...I leave you in all my dorkiness!
I will be back later today with a second post (as only a dork would do) to show you a new mini journal I have made for my shop.

Hey Dork!
haha! Yes i too would never peg you as a 'dork'. I'm with you on most of that..however I am getting terrible lately watching tv, but then i have been crocheting at the same time too!! and my family as you know are big tv watchers, its rarely off! So my idea of a lovely quiet night in - reading or crocheting, listening to music, by the fire - doesn't happen often!

oh and I'm not good at photoshop or code!! haha! and i think if you like that then you are a 'geek' or 'nerd' rather than a 'dork' hahaha!!
I am with you with the shopping - would rather browse online! or look on Ebay.
and I'm not a hair & nails girl either, would rather be out in the fresh country air on my bike!
your little bag is the cutest thing EVER! just adorable.
I sent my son a note in his lunch once, he asked me not to as the other kids laughed at him! Shame hey? So I leave him notes on his pillow instead! haha!
Thinking of you lots today Bon!
Love Em Xx

Now I know why we are such good blog buddies...cause I'm a dork as well...lol I use to write notes for my kids lunches and make them special treats every chance I got...still do ;) I also watch very little TV and hate to leave the house cause there is always so much that I'm working on...especially to go shopping. My only vice would be traveling and I'd rather save my money for that. btw...You are too cute to be a dork ;)
