I whipped out my Christmas List

Konbanwa~

I went to bed roasting last night
my mum has a thing about central heating >.>
I suppose Id rather be warm than cold
but its hard to get to sleep when your sweating buckets
so i slept with one leg out the covers
i woke up with a very cold leg in the night so wrapped it up
then in the morning there was a mega fog/mist
that didnt go til like 11am!

I decided today to look at my christmas list, begrudgingly 
I dont know if it my depression or the fact that there wont
be any grandparents to celebrate this time, but I really dont want
to do christmas this year :/
I have never been a fan of christmas, of course as a child i loved it
but now i feel its something so forced upon you
I give my friends and family things through out the year
cus i dont need a day to give gifts i give em when i want
I like giving people things ^^ 
I prefer to give than receive 
but my yoga teacher taught me last week
"that we have to receive as much as we give
otherwise we are denying others the action of giving"
I had never thought about it that way before

So I got out the box under my bed - my present box
and luckily i had picked a few bits up already
but not a lot but its a start
so I wrote down them, and wrote down who im giving to this year
and what to give them
its a tricky thing, some people are harder than others too
so this morning i was on google a fair bit looking at ideas
ideas to make that is, not to buy :)
i make presents were i can as more love goes into them
than an item in a store

One project im working on involves....Hama beads!!!
yep i still have them from when i was a child!
I think theyre called Perler beads in the States
I was surprised how many beads I had left
so I started my design, which is a Mario one I got online
But sadly I was short on colours like white and red
so I wasnt able to complete the design
So I thought Id look on ebay to see how much beads were
and to my surprise i was able to order 1000 beads for £1.80!!!
Back when I was a kid to buy beads it was £5 for 500 beads!!!
I was shocked so I ordered some, hopefully they will come soon :)

I was planning out another present as well
which I can start sewing tomorrow but it wont take much sewing
I went for a walk, I wasnt in the mood nor could I be arsed
but I went as I want to try and do a walk each day

I did a tiny bit of dancing in the afternoon, but didnt get far
im gonna continue with it in a mo

Here's my wardrobe
this is before

and now

It makes a nice change of scenery :)
