My go at using 'The Secret'

So, I'm on school holidays at the moment and the other day I was sitting at home watching Oprah - as you do, especially since I was in a car accident the other week, my fault, and I don't know how much my car is going to cost to fix (I only had 3rd party insurance as my car is cheap) so I didn't want to be out shopping and spending money. Ok, I've lost track, watching Oprah - and she was talking about that 'The Secret' book. I haven't read it, but from the show I gathered that it is all about the 'Law of Attraction'. There were women on the show who wrote lists about what they want in their 'perfect man' and OMG now they are married to them (just a hint of sarcasm there). There was also a lady who had a picture of a stove on her 'inspiration board' and when it came to replacing her old stove the one she purchased kept breaking. So, she swapped the brand of stove and OMG - it ended up being the one on her inspiration board without her realising it until she took a good look at the picture she had pinned up. She claimed the universe had sent her the stove.

So... I'm going to use this blog as my inspiration board. I haven't made a list of things I desire yet, or a list of my perfect man, but as I am a bit pathetic and still live at home, one thing that I shall have on my list is to own my own house. And I want a cute little villa. So here are some pictures for the Universe...


Right, the first two pictures are me pushing my luck with what the universe will bring my way. Hopefully the last one is realistic and the universe will be kind :)

Next up - writing a list so the universe will send me the perfect husband. Hmmm... maybe I should have done that list first - top of the list could have been "Man who owns a cute villa".

Next topic... my crochet blanket is going well. Slowly, but well. If I can be bothered I will take some photos. I like having a look at Carina's craft blog - her pretty photos keep me inspired to continue with my own blanket. Also, what's cool is that this months 'Your Home and Garden' magazine (which arrived in the mail today) features two different homes that, in their pictures, have crochet granny blankets!! So, I was cool before they became cool. Nah-nah nah-nah nah nah! (One of the homes was also a first home buyer who had a cute villa *sigh*)
