Watermelons!

Good Evening all~

I slept a lil better last night
and woke up at 8:30 
I did some dancing whilst everyone went out
i was sweating and out of breath i had done a good work out
and got an energetic dance done
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh50E8_7EcI

then i suddenly thought i had dentist
so i quickly got ready and left the house
i was waiting a lil whilst at mia's dentistry but it was fine
mia called me in and i asked her right away how her mouth was
she told me it ached so shes on painkillers, and she struggled to eat last night :(
i felt bad for her because food is everything to mia, we say she was a guinea
pig in her former life as she loves food and never stops talking!
the dentist checked me over and luckily there wasnt anything wrong
with my filling thank god, its the tooth in front i had worn away my gum
so now some nerve was showing >< i know why it is its because i used to
clean my teeth wrong and hard, til i got a pressure sensor electric toothbrush
so i thought i had kicked the problem but maybe not she said it could
be the angle i brush at, ether was she coated my teeth and its been loads better!

came home and made my own leek and potato soup it was alright i guess
i then rang up my old Primary School i was so nervous - why!?
it turned out the head mistress - my old year 5&6 teacher - was busy
so she would ring later
me and mum then made the most of the sun and went for a 45min
walk round the neighbourhood which was nice just a bit nippy 

came home sat with pets and read
the head mistress rang - mum picked up luckily - mum cleans her house
so shes on good terms with her which has been nice as ive always had that
connection to my old school this way
she passed the phone to me, and my nerves went as soon as i spoke
i was fine and she said it was fine for my do work experience!
i was so happy and grateful, i start on friday morning!

tonight i have got tiffin in and hes in a scampy playful mood
it would seem so i have all on entertaining him away from chewing my toys =.=

tomorrow id like to get some sewing done
but it might be tricky given theyre my mum's and brother's presents
i have got to sew =.=
oh i photographed my watermelons 

arent they cute!
the big one is for mia and you can put stuff in it
the small one is for our christmas tree~

Supporting a friend through braces

Evening all~

I slept so bad last night
waking up a lot and hearing noises outside
so which i wake up and look out my window - bit like a dog really
i had 3 dreams about toilets!! 3!!!
insane, safe to say when i woke this morning i was desperate for the toilet!
But my brother beat me to it i was hurting from needing it =.=
not the best of starts to the day

I got ready quite quickly as i knew Mia would be on her way
she came over whilst I was with the piglets, we had a brew together
she showed me her gaps in her mouth bless her
she told me how much shes been struggling to eat and shes lost weight in the week!
i said shes gonna be size 6 at this rate!
she was nervous about having the brace fitted but i was with her
every step of the way, i came in the room with her :)

she was so brave through this, but braces dont hurt being fitted
the are suppose to hurt for the next 5 days tho :(
i brought her to my home as she requested and made her a cup of tea
and chatted for a lil while until i said it was best to get her off as she
had work in the afternoon, she could talk all day given the chance!

I had lunch with mum then we went out to a home store
I brought an amazing lamp for Dom it is in the shade of a police box
its blue ceramic and was £12 which i didnt think was badly priced
but not sure weather to give it to him this year or next :/ but its pretty big to store!
I got a vintage looking tin to put all of mia's birthday presents in ^^

then came home sat with pets and uploaded the dance i quickly
recorded before mia came over, my eye is still recovering but doesnt
look half as bad as it did so i thought id just get on with it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOt8AhbEXCA

tonight i will dance as it was really cold out and i didnt fancy a walk
i got e-mail from my old Primary school today confirming i could
come do work experience i need to ring up tomorrow ^^ so relieved 

tomorrow I have a dentist appt for my tooth that is still not right
from the filling i had last month, it kills so mia is sorting me out
at 10:50am :)

Another xmas shopping trip

Obandesu yo~

I slept really quite bad last night
disturbing dreams to say the least
so I woke up dark under my eyes
my right eye looked like a fish XD

When I looked in the mirror and remembered
i was off into the city i kinda thought
"no guy would even bother looking at me"
not that i want guys attention, but no one would
be remotely interested if they saw me =.=
i wore my kitty hat, fluffy hoodie, shorts and thermal tights
someone commented on my kokkuri-san nails even tho i think theyre rubbish
and someone liked my hat also ^^
Jozu always the stylish one to stand out ;)

we were in the city for some time and ended up eating
out too, we both had tomato soup with a roll which was warming
and just as well as it poured it down whilst we were in the cafe
it was such good timing!
i got my brother's and dad's xmas present sorted so thats a good
tick off my list. i just would like something to finish off dom's and ed's present
but i'll do that online probably
my mum was moaning saying she would have to come shopping again
as she needs to get something for both me and my brother
this is why i hate christmas its a stress put on everyone
its something you HAVE TO take part in and it annoys me
i dont need a day in the year to give my love ones a gift
i give all year round
anyway i told my mum i would email her a list of link of
items i like then she can pick in stead of trudging round shops
i have more choice to my taste online too
i dont really want anything anyway 

we got home about 3pm, got pets out
and had a brew with a cookie :3
i went to sleep as i usually do on wednesday do to 
having yoga in the evening
my dad woke me up tho by being an idiot holding the door bell down
and knocking on the door =.= he just doesnt think and there was no need
to do it ether but nevermind hes always in the right anyway

im having trouble with my mental health i can feel 
well i hear it most days but i can feel something darker there
lurking in the corner and it makes me sigh and wonder
"when will it raise its ugly head?"
its like trying to shut the lid on a box that is too full - eventually its gonna pop open

tomorrow I am taking Mia to her orthodontist appt
to have her braces fitted, poor girl. shes nervous understandably 
i feel nervous for her! bless her

im off to yoga
sorry i havent done any dance upload i forgot today 
and i didnt record a new one due to looking like a fish XD

Piggie Wall Hanging Hajimeru

Evening all

This morning I woke up with and odd vision in my right eye
(the one that has the bite)
I walked into the bathroom to look and just laughed at myself
i find it quite funny, i dont think id be laughing as much if i had
someone to see or somewhere to go to
but my eye this morning had not 1 eyelid not 2 but 3! 
i had 3 eyelids! my eye was huge and pinky purple
so i know tuesdays i usually do a dance but no way
was i recording myself looking like this! I said I look like the Elephant man XD

When mum went out i did the hovering downstairs and tidied up
so the house didnt look a mess when she'd come home as she only
goes in a stressy mood when its a "mess" and by mess i mean a few glasses on the side
a magazine on the floor and bits of pet saw dust =.=

Anyway I spent my morning working on mum's xmas present
as I knew she wouldnt be back from work til 1pm
I got kinda far, mainly doing all the Applique
which is basically sticking down fabric
this is an example. on the left will be Pinky on the right Millie

I still need to sew all the way round them, add their paws and facial features
and thats before i turn them into a wall hanging!
its been a lot of work, drawing them out and marking their colourings
i know it will look amazing when finished
i made a few plans for it, they dont make sense to anyone else XD

i love plans as they only mean something to that person
here is an image off Google of the kinda thing I am aiming for in the end

Mum came home and I was caught off guard as I was completely
oblivious to the time! So I told her not to come upstairs til i was packed away
but I got a lot done so I can complain really

I felt exhausted all of today but I have no idea why as I went to bed at 9:15pm
and woke up at 9am so thats 12 hours sleep!
I went food shopping with mum, i hate going, but i went to keep her company
when we came back i hit the hay for an hour i couldnt keep my eyes open 

I got up before dinner so i could help make it
I got Tiffin out, mum made cookies and i got to eat one
from the over X3 heaven i looooovee hot cookies~

Im gonna do some dancing tonight as I havent been for a walk today
it was horrible outside, not to mention i have no idea where the
day has gone today!

tomorrow I am heading into the city with mum again~

My own Tardis

Oha~

I had strange dreams again
dreams about being in a secret lab with locked doors
and broken lighting, and even tho i didnt see anything i knew
the people there were testing on humans, i wanted out
but i couldnt get out
then i woke up luckily! it was 8:15am :D
but I woke up with dodgey eye sight
when i looked in the mirror my right eye had inflated
i felt round and i felt a big hard bump under my eyebrow
since this morning the skin round it has gone purplish 
i look fantastic put it that way, i think something bit me in the night ><

I started working on a watermelon plush thing for mia
i thought id do it just to finish off her present this year 
she has a thing for watermelons
but also i can use it for Choly Knight's monthly competition and get a new template ^^
it came out well but took a lot longer than i thought but i think
its cus i took my time and wanted it to be right
i will photograph it
speaking of Choly Knight here is the news i mentioned yesterday,
I e-mailed her to ask her opinion of my work as i love her style and
i do very similar work to her and heres what Choly had to say~

Hello Jozu!

Thank you so much for the wonderful words about my book! I'm so glad it's been able to help you out and keep you sewing!

Concerning your work, I think it's very cute and a lot of fun! Do you hope to expand into selling your work in the future?

To be more specific: I think the hoodie looks very well made; the zipper has been installed well and all the seams line up as they should :) The colors you picked have a nice harmony, and the bunny face you've added is very cute.

The Fruits Basket art is also very sweet! I love how you've paired up the perler beads with the clay pieces.

I'm also very impressed by the quilt :D All the blocks have so much detail and they look like they've all been pieced together well. The pieces all come together flush and smooth with the other layers of the quilt. 

If you had more specific concerns or questions, I'd be happy to help out! But so far I think your work is very cute :D

Thanks so much for coming to me with your questions ♥ I'm so honored that you would come to me for this sort of thing :)

 

I was so touched by this *0* 

I was so honored, I always wonder what experts thing to my work

Maybe I should ask other professional crafters? :/

 

Here's the Tardis I have made for Dom 

the back is fleece and I guess you could use it as a rug

or place it at the end of your bed ether way its a pretty piece

and you can tell its a Tardis right ;)

he is gonna love it~

 

I went for a 45min walk, when i got in i sat and read with

a cuppa instead of going to sleep

I also cooked dinner tonight for everyone

made from scratch spaghetti everyone liked it ^^

thats my day ive very tired 

tomorrow I want to make a mini water melon to go on our xmas tree~

might get some dancing done tonight

Christmas Wreath

Evening all~

Today I woke up at 9:15am!
how I do hate waking up late
I went to bed at 10:15pm after watching Bridget Jones Diary
and doing my nails, I did Kokkuri-san themed nails
theyre rubbish =.=
i may upload a photo or i may not~
I had dreams as I always do
I have a few that seem to be a bit repetitive, like a theme
dreams like
I loss the plot - my mentality 
I go a bit like a psychopath
I destroy things, big things like desks not like pieces of paper
dreams where my illness gets in the way of doing something
paralyzing dreams where someone climbs on top of me in my bed and i cant move or speak
being in school
yeah just quite a few repeat them selves
theyre not exact replicas of previous dreams, just the theme is the same if that makes sense
i like dreams where i am in places that cant exist or i can fly or something random
vampire dreams are good ones, vampires, demons, monsters i tend to like them ^^

Anyway this morning I continued doing dom's present
it is now finished and looks amazing i have to say
i will photograph it in better light tomorrow
he's gonna love it ^^ and its probably cost me a fiver to make :D
I was doing it whilst watching Kokkuri-san 

I went for a 45min walk, i really didnt want to
but i knew i had to make up for not doing my walks
so i got on with it
when i got back i went to bed ahhhh it was so warm and peaceful
i did wake up after an hour but i was so happy i turned over
and fell straight asleep for another 30mins!!! woops ><

Ive had tiffin around me, he has taught himself to jump on my bed
this isnt something i encourage as hes not fully toilet trained
and kip peed on my bed a fair bit which drove me and mum up the wall
i do not want to go through that with tiffin
but up to now he has been very good not a single thing has left
his bottom on my bed. but he does have an issue with my toys...
he seems to hate them! he bites them a lot, i say its cus hes jealous
that they have fur too. but i tell him hes the best and not to pick on them
so i monitor him closely when he goes on my bed

i took a photo of my wreath for my hairdresser
i did it the colours of her salon
i got the baubles from pound shop it was the only colour they
had in that size but luckily they stand out :D as i wanted silver

anyway ive gone on enough
but i have something to share tomorrow :)

How Lucky we were

Konbanwa~

Last night I went to sleep about 10:30pm
I woke up at 1am from a dog barking for 20+ mins =.=
then I heard mum's mobile go off it was my brother
ready to be picked up
so i heard them get up and i fell back to sleep
I woke up this morning and knew my brother was home safe :D
its such a relief it truly is
even more so when i was told about the france bombings
my brother told me if he had been on the later train (euro star)
then he wouldnt have been home as they stopped the train line
god just how lucky was he, not only that but thank god he
was not caught in an attack i couldnt cope with that
im glad to have him back
he showed me his photos and talked about it all
mainly the food, he had 2 mcdonalds =.=

He had missed home so much we could all tell he was
glad to be back. baring in mind he had only been in france
for 3 days not the arctic for 2 weeks XD 
as he had missed english food i made him a bacon sandwich 
at his request to which he watched top gear whilst he ate it
british food + british TV yeh he was glad to be home alright XD


Anyway so today I said to myself I would
do dom's present, using this new doctor who scarf i won off ebay for £2.50
it had 9 panels of doctor pictures printed on identical both sides
I was stuck for ideas just what the hell i could make with it!
Last night I thought I was going with the bunting idea
but then this morning out of no where i got a great design
it looks amazing and its almost done
why is it that ive been thinking months then the idea happened in
a matter of minutes!? how does that work!?
gonna finish it tomorrow

I would have loved to have gone a walk today but
its nothing but rained and the wind is freezing
so i skipped it which im annoyed about as i havent
been for a few days altho yesterday i did walk
a lot round the city so i guess thats something

i started learning a new dance i have been
dying to learn ^^
erm this is tara's present a pokemon frame
ash and pikachu back from the gameboy color versions
on 1996 pokemon fabric
all retro ;)

tonight i have quite a good night planned
after pet duty i will be doing my nails
and watching Bridget Jones Diary

anyway thats me off for now~
