DIY On A Budget Issue One | Page 31

Today I woke up and decided I was going to be a writer!

Hi I'm LuLu Blu, I'm 35 nearly 36 I'm a stay at home mum I have 2 beautiful children very fortunate to have a daughter and a son. My star sign is Pisces so I'm sure many of you can relate to me already. I'm a DREAMER and to be honest I love it, I love that I'm still finding out who I am and what I want to be at my age. What I do know is I'm very creative, I see things differently; I know exactly what I want in my head but can never find it to buy. Last summer on a whim I decided to book onto a sewing course, it's always kind off been another interest of mine, IV always painted and hand sewn (shockingly) costumes for my children. So I thought yeah why not? It was a 9 week course on a Wednesday evening for 3 hours, if I hated it I thought it's not actually on for long it will be bearable.

Hello career number six! And I'm not joking, but the last 5 jobs/whims/experiences have totally made me a better person and defiantly made me realise they wasn't the career I wanted to be in forever.

Really I'm pretending to be a writer as I want to sew, I want to make pretty dresses from amazing fabrics that twirl and swirl in the right places.

Now I'm attending my second sewing course, again it's only on for 9 weeks, my aim this time, is to share my experiences like a diary, or a blog? Would this be a blog? I'm not very technical I will ask my daughter in the morning as she's ten and of course knows everything, (slightly sarcastic, but smiling to myself) you're probably wondering by now what is the point to this? As I'm fully aware I'm waffling just hoping some readers may make it to the end. Every week I of course will be sharing my sewing experiences, I will also add projects I'm currently working on, so hopefully over the coming weeks/months you can see them from start to finish. Please send in any questions or tips and I will try my very hardest to answer them, if I can't I know a lady who can. All tips/techniques/ will be published, maybe even one day growing into our own glossary.

My main aim from this publication is to introduce myself, tell you a bit about what I will be doing, and expressing cannot express enough that I'm new to this, sewing and writing, so please be kind. Ideas, comments, suggestions always welcomed, I may hide and cry somewhere but it's meant to make you stronger? Seriously please let us know what YOU want to see and read, it's your magazine,

Just one more thing, keep up the good work! I love looking at everyone's individual creativity, and running off to find the bargains you've posted.
