Good evening
and welcome to another night of bangs booms and crackles!
jeez Ive had enough of em and tonight theyre in full force!
i swear theyre worse than what they have been
4 nights in a row =.=
so pets are in and im keeping them in for some time til
its calmed down out there
Today I got up at 8:30am
by 8:45am I had booted all 5 pets outside
and by 9:15am I had cleaned all 3 hutches out
what a legend XD I couldnt believe how bloody quick I got
it all done, I was rushing as the weather wasnt great
and I knew the grass was soaked but the pets enjoyed it anyway
they miss not going out
so I put them home and had my breakfast
I went upstairs and started to cut fabric up for a
present I want to make for mum
MY BEADS ARRIVED!!
finally!!!
So I was able to finish all 5 of my bead creations!
I will photograph em later
Because I only have 1 box frame currently, i was only
able to finish 1 present which I chose to do Mia's
Looks aright I think :)
I thought Id photograph the art work that me and my brother
are surprising mum with tomorrow
its tiffin alice and millie
sweet isnt it, it joins the rest in the living room
we seem to have been taking photos of the "generations"
so theyre 3rd gen
here's 2nd gen kip lily and pinky
and 1st gen sky nutty and buttons
lets not forget Hazel bless her
so out living room is full of animal canvases XD
I took a photo of granny's memorial piece as well
as you can its under the stairs which is were the girl's indoor play happens
so we can see it as we sit with them ^^
I finished watching Noragami, I believe theres a second season airing
my god i loved it and decided that despite having no space or money
i will collect the manga to it!
I spent a good hour online looking and thinking about presents
I managed to order a fair bit, and got a few people ticked off my list
but still have a bit more to do and a city trip to do
i like to be prepared then i can avoid the shops in december
im gonna let everyone know i havent got them much as i dont
have an income currently and i do not know when i will next get one ether...
tomorrow mummy and daddy come home XD
Im gonna get up and do a good clean and tidy up!
Evening
Ahhhh I havent stopped this evening ><
There has been so many loud fireworks
and I have had the pets in for hours by myself
and what with Tiffin roaming around I have to always be vigilant
as I heard the pigs squeal downstairs I went running to find tiffin
hopping away from them...hmmm...i wonder what he was doing
i checked the pigs over for any sign of him hurting them but they were fine
the other two squealed upstairs and it was tiffin once again
as he has knocked over some of their toys and it had made the girls jump
honestly tiffin so i gave him a talking too
then after that he was amazing honestly i can stress to you how good he was
i kept finding him next to lily and pinky just laying next
to where they were, or standing on one of their igloos keeping guard
or he would be in my room keeping guard
bless him
and usually he gets arsey when it comes to removing his "leavings" from my room
but this time he didnt! he just sat whilst I did it
and when I came back he had gone on my bed!!! 0.o
He never goes on there bless him so i gave him a cuddle
and plenty of treats for being good boy
my parents left this morning
they will be back sunday ><
So i have been on pet duty
I have been working on my beads
my bloody beads didnt come today!!!! agh they were due today as well!!!!!
they BEST come tomorrow!
I have made Tohru Honda for Mia's present over 3 times now
and I still cant get her right :/
its still a mess even now!
I went for a walk when it stopped raining
I emailed my old primary school for work experience
i ate dinner alone as my brother went out with his girlfriend
for dinner to a pub
i have no one to go out with T^T such a loser right? XD
I uploaded my 300th dance
jeez I never imagined id enjoy dancing so much
that i would have taught myself 300! I deserve a pat on the back right?
my brother had been to collect a canvas of tiffin millie and alice
for the living room, its a surprise for mum
we hung it up together so it goes with the other 2
looks amazing i cant wait to see her face X3
Tomorrow I am determined to get more done!
i would like to start another project or get the bead ones done
if the bloody white beads arrive that is!
Bonfire Night is upon us
If only Mr.Guy Fawkes had succeeded in blowing
Parliment up, I would have shaken his hand personally
Moving swiftly on from my political views ^^"
Today I was on pig duty as mum has work early some thursdays
so its up to me to sit with all the pets by myself :)
Then I went upstairs and started crafting away
I started with Mia's piece which is from the anime/manga Fruits Basket
The character I have chose to focus on is Tohru Honda
Mia cosplayed as Tohru Honda this year at Manchester convention
So I thought there would be a nice connection there
This is the background, which was all torn out from a
Fruits Basket Manga book I brought from a charity shop for £1.25
Then I spent like hours doing these babies
They are kinda like chibi's I suppose of the main characters
in Fruits Basket starting with Kyou the cat Tohru the riceball and Yuki the mous
took me ages to get the shape right and mixing clay colours =.=
but I think they look good in the end
they need their faces finishing off with paint~
This is the start of Tara's present
as she has the Pokemon theme i cut out some vintage 1996 pokemon
fabric and glued it to some card
this will serve as the background
its so smooth and flat =3=
So Im all set for when my beads arrive!
which I thought they would arrive today actually :/
In the afternoon, seeing as it was still pouring down outside
me and mum got to work on my chair
basically I brought my chair from Argos a few years back for £29.99
I liked it cus its the style of chair I get on with in my room and it was pink!
trouble was that the padding went pretty fast
so I was sat on a poncho mia brought me a couple of christmas's ago
I decided enough was enough as it was hurting my bum
so we brought foam yesterday and today we got to work
Mum helped with ever aspect of my chair covering
from making the template to cutting out the foam and finishing it
once the foam was on we picked up the poncho I had been sitting on
and started to staple it onto the chair
I had washed the poncho yesterday dont worry XD
and now it looks and most importantly feels amazing!
so much more comfier no longer feel im sitting on bolts!
We left some bit dangling as thats how it always looked with the poncho
thrown over it, Tiffin here is modeling for us
When the rain finally eased a lil we went for a quick
walk round the neighbour hood as my god did i have an need for fresh air
so that was nice
Me and mum both agreed to get into contact with my primary school
to ask for work experience, so I started typing an email out
and mum came and spruced it up a bit for me as usual~
I will send it tomorrow morning :)
Mum and dad are going away tomorrow! D: for the weekend =.=
leaving me with pets
my pets all 5 of em are currently indoors with us
as theres a lot of fireworks kicking off right now >.>
Evening~
Today I was woken at 8am >.>
Even tho I hadnt slept properly from about 5am
I was shocked to be woken as I thought I was still awake ><
I had a hair cut to attend so I had to get up :/
I rushed to the hair dressers - didnt have time for my morning brew =3=
I arrived with my hair dresser saying she had double booked by mistake
do I mind waiting? I guess not. I could have had that brew damn it!!!
So what is a 15min job took me an hour!!!
But what can you do, she doesnt normally mess up, I'll forgive her XD
I talked about my career choice and she says Im wasted in teaching
Im too creative to sit in a school =.=
Its hard to get into the creative industry tho
So I got home and had my brew!
Then I was trying to design Mia a present
Took me all day to settle on a design!
I did finish off her clay jewelry
so here we have her rings, one cookie and one donut
And just a pair of watermelon earrings
dont think its too bad really and I hope she likes them all
Granny's frame came in the post, the one we had to re-order cus of dad
It took me ages to get it right in the frame
cus I like it nice and shiny ^^
it looks so much better in a frame, like its really highlighted it
So we hung it up under the stairs
using a pre-existing nail we said next time the hall gets decorated to put
a more centralized nail in for it
Me and mum went ok to a few shops
I got dragged round the usual make up shops
I dont mind a flick but mum takes ages XD
We went into Boyes as I have been meaning to get some
foam to recover my bedroom chair
as there is next to no stuffing left in this thing
i feel like im sitting on the bolts!
but thats my fat arse for ya ive probably squished all the stuffing XD
Recovering my seat will be a job this week~
Work rang me and I cant get work until I have this
bloody reference from my college!!!! its very annoying
and they have been trying so hard to get this referance
but ether people dont pick up or they wont speak about me
Dont know what im gonna do there
I have 1 idea and failing that I am gonna do some work experience
at my previous primary school as my mum knows the head teacher
who is my previous year 5 &6 teacher. she got promoted ^^
Im waiting for those god damn Hama beads!
I wanna get started damn it ><
Hopefully they will be here tomorrow!
Im gonna do a lil dancing
but I have yoga tonight and we have been
warned that she is gonna work us hard tonight!!
Fireworks have been kicking off even as i write this
and tomorrow is the 5th
joy
so were gonna get al the pets in for the night
Konbanwa~
I woke up at 8:50am
so I wasnt able to have breakfast with mummy T^T
so I sat with the piglets X3
I wasn't sure what to work on today
seeing as I couldnt continue with my Hama bead work
til my new beads turned up
mum had said a key chain of hers I made is falling to pieces - thats felt for you >.>
So i was having a think what I could make it from
when clay came to mind!
And with that thought came the thought of, when i when to Whitby
I picked up some jewelry making supplies, mainly to make Mia
some jewelry for christmas
So I dug that out and got work finding the tutorials I had once found
and I made her
1 pair of watermelon earrings
1 silver ring with a donut on
1 bronze ring with a cookie on top
I made mum a half watermelon key chain
and the other melons are spare
I was pretty impressed
as it did take all bloody day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not believe where my day went!
I still have the donut and mums key chain to finish tho
My beads arrived today all 1000 of em
I was feeling pretty confident with my 1000 beads thinking
if anything I would have to many left over
how wrong I was =.=
I havent been able to finish any of the 4 designs I did yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All because I didnt have enough white beads!!
out of 1000 you'd think Id have enough right?
But the packet it came in did so not look 1000 but it said it on packet
and I wasnt prepared to sit and count =.=
so in my fury I went upstairs and for a further £1.60 I ordered 1000 WHITE beads!!!
They better come quick is all I can say
I hate having art work lying round my room unfinished >.>
I went food shopping with mum I didnt want to
and I could she didnt want to so I thought we'd grin and bare it together XD
With everything today I forgot to upload my dance
So I will upload it tomorrow ><
sorry for the wait!
Tomorrow I have a hair cut at 9:30am ><
Good Evening~
I woke up at 7:50am! Wow in the hour of 7
I did contemplate going back to sleep
but I had back ache and needed a wee so I got up
I've not felt tremendously good today
It's like my illness likes to pick these random days
just to say"i'm still here you know"
I like to think Im not ill, but I get days that remind me that
yes in fact I still have my illnesses =.=
So with that I dont feel like i got a lot achieved today
I did do some sewing today tho
I fixed my joggers that had a hole in
and I started to work on ed's xmas present
I'm going for a Mario game Screen shot look
So heres the background which is made of felt
Then these two will go on top of the felt
Theres gaps as Im waiting for my beads in the post, ran out of white!
Then I was sat thinking about Tara's xmas present
I came up with many ideas
but eventually I settled for a design I could work with
So I'm going for a pokemon theme
this is the 2 characters going on the front
its Ash/Satoshi and Pikachu from Yellow Version
yes very retro
Then the background will be pokemon fabric I have
which are bedsheets from 1999!
Keeping with the retro them ;)
I did some dancing today to try list my energy levels
but it left me feeling absolutely done in!
I even tried to record a dance for tomorrow
but I was exhausted and kept screwing up so I left it
The fog was coming back in last night
so it was here this morning and it never cleared!
we were fogged over all day
and now it looks so thick its like you could hold it!
so pets have been inside
I hope my beads come tomorrow!!
I texted some friends to ask if they could remember Hama beads
as I used to do it with Helina when we were kids
Mia knows it, my cousin Sarah had some and so did Dom
which surprised me, he had his greatgrandma's funeral today
I hope it went ok for him as his family
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 :)
