Kimono Quilt Idea + new PB

Konbanwa Minna-san~~

Ahhhh tsukareta~
I didn't sleep well
woke up at 2:30am then from there me and my thoughts spent some quality time together til around 4:30am then I fell asleep and woke up at 6am been awake ever since
dont know why I bother setting an alarm I never sodding need it!
I got up and had a mad dash round getting stuff done, mainly making sure my pets were outside for an hour before i left, they werent impressed being on the dewy grass but tough luck girls
i cleaned them out and took them home before i left gave them a salad
Oz wiped his soily paws down my t-shirt, thanks Oz just as I was leaving the house

I got to Adam's house for 7:55am
I chose not to wake adam as i could tell last time he didnt approve of it XD
we left for a new park run for me
it was quite warm to say the least and zero shade like completely in the open
i felt shattered and wanted to be in a cool bed somewhere XD

I made my journey round, it was next to a canal and river so it was really scenic 
i liked it, it was flat too thank god
but i started to feel sick, and i dont usually feel sick whilst running
but i think it was the heat, so i was sensible and didnt push myself as ive got the whole day to get through yet i dont want to be feeling like death all day
i passed the finish which was a hard ask if im honest
id had enough but had adams parents to wait for before i could go to the car where shade and my drink was, i was dying to get out the sun
they were a good 10-15mins behind me
adams dad seemed to feel id done a good time but i said i hadnt 
i hadnt pushed myself so i didnt think id done a good time
id just got myself round the 5K
we set off for adams house

I stopped for a brew to get some energy
and to say hello to adam 
he said the trainers had come today
he wanted me to open them as id walked through the door!
i told him to give me a minute and let me have a brew
but in all honesty i didnt want to open them
why would i?
a gift from my boyfriend i couldnt have cus they were being returned
salt in the wound much?
he left me to grab a shower before work
he didnt even say bye so i felt he was off and quiet with me today
i felt id done something maybe
i went home

and i was saying to adams parents that my brother is always in the shower
when i come in from park run
and behold he was! my car needed a wash so i thought id do it whilst I was waiting
god how much did I get done before noon XD
then i went for a shower much needed at that, got out the shower it was 11:45am

I relaxed a bit cus lets face it id earned a sit down!
but i dont enjoy sitting 
so i did something productive with my sitting
last night, in the middle of the night rather, i came up with an idea of something i wish to make, something i can work on for a while cus it will take a while
currently i have an anime style quilt hung up on my wall which i made
ive been thinking of putting a fresh one up since the start of the year
and was originally doing a rabbit quilt design but could never settle or like a design
one came to me last night tho, a kimono design!!

so I spent well over an hour looking for a kimono quilting block to use
and whilst i could see on google that people had made a kimono quilt, the design remained illusive and i was coming to my wits end til i found one on Etsy it was £3.70
i was so hoping NOT to pay for a design when i know so many are free 
but i was coming up with zilch so I paid for the design - never brought from Etsy before
and got my template i then spent the afternoon going through fabric scraps to play with and what could be used for my quilt, here is my practice run using scraps

Not bad, its not neat as i had re-learn the art of paper-piecing 
but i know what to do for next time kinda thing 
so i think im gonna have to make quite a few of these for the design i want 
then im gonna put the t-shirt my brother brought me from japan in the centre of the quilt
as its got a geisha on it :D i wanted to do something special with it instead of wearing it and watching it come to the end of it's life cycle. so its remained in a wardrobe with fabric waiting for an idea
might need fabric tho /: yet more fabric XD

I did a bit of dancing but soon tired out 
i recorded one tho, even after doing 5k Im recording dances XD
i got quite a few nice comments for Howling I put up yesterday which was nice to see
as sometimes im tempted to give in dance videos

i ate pumpkin soup alone then mum rang to check up on me
she doesnt usually but i think she's been worrying over me
me and my mentalness
shes back tomorrow :)

might tidy up ether tonight or tomorrow
depends what i want to do with myself 

tomorrow its suppose to be 30c+
so god knows what we'll do cus i dont work well in those temperatures 
makes life feel like an even bigger chore

Enjoying two new songs today
Predia - Curtain Call
OnePixcel - Sparkle
Woo :)
