Good Evening~
Today I sat and decided on what christmas decorations i want to make
but then I got distracted so in the end planned nothing!
I did upload a dance tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMyciBZB0uE
In my bedroom for a change :)
Anyway I got lunch - porridge >< then set off to Tara's house
Finally we were able to meet up, I was gonna go over to hers
as she promised me we would make candles!! :D
I have never made candles before so I was well excited ^^
Luckily my candle came out alright
it sunk in a bit when it set and Tara offered to top it up for me
but i chose not too as i felt id taken enough from her
The we talked upstairs and sat with her bunnies
who are cute but soo big!! Tiffin looks so titchy in comparison!
After they had had a little run round they took themselves back to
their cage and Tara said we could go sit down stairs
so we sat with the fire on, chocolates out and let the loom band start
I have never done loom bands before i know how popular they were or are
Tara had done a few and brought me a kit for my bday
so she showed me how to make a basic chain
and then i said id love to make a rabbit
so she youtubed rabbits and we found one we agreed on
I made a pink one she made an orange one
i want to point out how difficult this was!
The tutorial was 15mins long
we were there 2 hours 0.0
I couldnt believe were the time went!!!!
but I was determined to get them finished so i stayed til 7pm and finished it
this is our bunnies
We were so proud of these, but theyre not totally finished
they need stuffing and tying off at the end i will do it tomorrow
came home and got tiffin in and hes in my room
whilst i do 30 mins of dance practice
laters~
Konbanwa
I slept bad again=.=
even tho I was having good dreams the pain still woke me
I was annoyed to say the least >.>
But still I woke up at 8:10am so at least I hadnt
slept my morning away~
I got up and started making Tara a birthday card im suppose
to be seeing her tomorrow and her birthday is on 11th
I'll take a photo of the card~
Then I went out to do a job for my parents boring post office and bank work
came home and started looking through my fabrics
trying to hunt through my christmas fabrics
i dont really like christmas a whole lot therefor i dont buy xmas fabrics
i dont think christmas is worthy enough to be on fabrics >.>
But never the less I did have a few scraps dont know where from tho!
I would like to make some different decorations for this year
lynn showed me some great projects and I fancied making them
just for a change really and hopefully it will make my life easier come decorating
at christmas time as i am the only one who does the decor
I didnt do any sewing tho, my mind felt a mess from being tired
i didnt give in and lay on my bed tho! I want to sleep tonight so bad T^T
I ordered a few things online to do my xmas crafts with
I wrapped up Ed's present to send later this week
and I took a photo of my dunagarees!!
what do you think?
They were totally green
I ordered them from China they said they were "adults" but I swear they were kids
they were tiny!!! They grabbed me round the waist but it was the straps that did me
i extended them as far as I could but they were still too short so they were pulling
the shorts part up my bum, then it made them even shorter = me not wearing em
so I put new LONGER straps on, lengthened the shorts part and added a new waist band
so it gives me a few more inches round the waist and i added bows and lace as i do~
Now it fits great :D well happy with them ^^
Not sure really where the rest of my day has gone
i just have millie & alice on my bed now as my dad cuts more wood
and they dont like the noise so ive wrapped em up safe on my bed :)
Tomorrow should be seeing Tara but who knows~
Evening~
Man I had cruddy night's sleep
I was in pain and there for the pain woke me up a lot
felt like very 10mins i was awake, i know i wasnt but its what it felt like damn it ><
So i ended up waking up at 9:30am >.>
Then when I did get I had to sit with the guinea pigs
as my parents were chain sawing wood for the log burning for winter
makes a hell of a noise the pigs were terrified so i sat with them on my knee
whilst i had breakfast, eventually at 11am they stopped and i took the pigs home
11am and I had done bugger all!!
So i went upstairs and cracked on with the dungarees
I was working on em hours and I have sorta finished em
well i have like 50 loose end to tie off and cut
Then I will try them on and photograph them
I do like the look of em they look adult size instead of child size
I went for a walk i didnt go for tho i was exhausted, tired and in pain
so turned on home, when i got in i did want to fall asleep
but i have been trying not to, so i decided to lay down and read
i put the book down and fell asleep =.=
alwell musta needed it i guess
i have been deciding on what needs to be done this week
craft wise and jobs wise, i have a few things i wanna make ^^
I looked at dance schools but the classes
are ether far away or late at night :/ so im gonna keep looking
i found one but it just sounded like zumba to be honest
i want somewhere were you learn routines and have a mirror wall kinda thing
I got Ed to take a photo of the card I made him
I gotta make Tara one tomorrow~
Otsukarare~
Today I woke up at 7:50am early for me i guess
but I was hot for some reason despite the house being cold
I had the pets to clean out, I never mind it never takes long
Then I started on my dungarees, made a good start on them
well i feel like ive been working on em all day! they will be finished tomorrow
Just got the straps to put on and final details so not too much to do but enough
I sat sewing with Kamisama Kiss playing on my laptop
I ended up finishing the second season :D a job ive been meaning to do!
In the afternoon I wanted to go for a walk whilst the sun was out
it was out but hardly warm like winter sun >.>
My family had gone over to grannys, i kinda felt bad being the only one who didnt go
so i decided to grab some nail varnish and head for her house
I arrived and it was nice to see her home again she actually looked
better for being home so i was glad. my family was over sorting bits for her
i sat infront of her and cut her nails, filed and painted them
she was very grateful i told her "anytime granny i like doing nails"
I left to go for a walk
on my way home i saw my family walking back from grannys so i caught
up and walked the rest of the way with them which was alright i guess
my dad always walks 5 meters ahead of us in silent - like an army march i call it
Got home and started the dinner, tonight I was doing the family pasta~
I like it when i can cook, give mum a break
yesterday we were having french stick so i had mixed up veg and tuna together
so the "sandwiches" could easily be made with that
It was Lynn's birthday today so I wished her happy birthday
and facebooked her the picture of her dog i tried to draw
she liked the card i made her also
im gonna get some dancing done now~ i forgot to look at dance schools ><
so i'll look tomorrow :)
GooD DaY
Today I have been busy~
I got up and went to the shops with mum for food for tonight
then when I got home I kicked into action!
I sorted out my wardrobe as it was just a mess and I couldnt
find anything or put anything in the damn thing
so i must have thrown out 20 garments?
seems a lot but my wardrobe still has plenty to give!
Im giving the stuff to charity, seems werid as half it comes from charity shops XD
honestly i never have expensive clothes
they ether are really cheaply priced in the sales or from charity shop
and on rare occasion, given to me
I cant justify spending a lot of clothing that doesnt last forever
its not very often at all i'll spend over £10 for a garment that is for sure
anyway so with my wardrobe tidied (means less outfits to choose from for dancing now)
I actually found a few things that i "forgot" i had (more like couldnt see)
I threw quite a few dresses out, i made the decision LAST time I cleaned my
wardrobe that if I hadnt more them THIS time round then I would part with them
seeing as we had such a cruddy summer I didnt get wear them so theyre out!
I do have dresses left but only nice ones :)
I "found" a pair of dungarees ive never worn out the house
ive worn them for dance covers but thats it
simply because they didnt fit nice
so tomorrow ive made it my mission to alter them~
I photographed this dress I did a few years back
I wore it once or twice out the house and that was it
i dont feel comfortable in it, its too long for me
so I thought Id try sell it? who knows someone may want it
just seems a shame to give it away to charity for them to maybe not even sell it on
Id be happy with anything £5 would suit me just so i know its going to a home
then I want to flog this as well
the lamp shade I made the other week
I just want it gone so badly!!
I dont care what i get for it, it cost me £5 for the shade then £2 for the fabric
so as long as I cover the cost i dont care
if you or if you know anyone that might like these will you pass the message on please :3
id appreciate it big style
Today I also did a patchwork piece for lynn
she wanted something working out so i did it i just need to write
the instructions down
i'll upload a photo tomorrow~
uploaded a dance too

Choice & Chance
I need to do some dancing tonight I didnt do any last night
ran out of time
I went to the office at 2pm got given my lesson box
luckily only 1 school of mine starts next week and thats on thursday
with only 8 kids!!! normally i have like 25! so theyre breaking me back
into it slowly :)
Ok thats it for now~
Good Evening
Im home much later than I wanted to be
Ive just been for a walk with Mia but she can never stop
talking and then we got talking to her Mum and time just went on!
Anyway last night I slept pretty badly
I had got woken up by mum screaming in her slee
god does that give us all a heart attack
But I also had nightmares, the usual really
This morning I started working on Ed's present
I did get it done but it took a few hours
I havent photographed it yet but im pleased with it
I made a start on a patchwork i said id work out for lynn
ive cut it out just needs sewing
went food shopping with mum and then we
went to TK MAXX i picked up 2 pants by Marilyn Monroe suppose to be
£24 I paid £4 theyre super soft 0.0
Came home and altered a dress I brought for £1 from charity shop
basically it was strapless but had tie backs round the waist
so I took the tie backs off and used them at straps
as I have no chest to hold dresses up >.>
I was randomly piecing it together when I had the idea to
make the straps go in the center and do a kinda sailor tie with them
Im really pleased with, my £1 dress ;)
Mum told me today i have too many clothes and to throw some out
so im gonna do that tomorrow along with doing the patchwork
I uploaded a dance today from my previous channel~

Good Evening
Tonight Im going to yoga!!
I can not wait to return after what feels like forever
my teacher had 3 weeks off to go on holiday with her family
ive heard shes had a nice time and im glad that yoga is finally
back, ive been doing bits and pieces of yoga but theres
nothing like having a full session
Today I got up and cleaning Tiffin out
the only problem i have with cleaning tiffin out is
he likes to "help" me >.>
he is everywhere I want to be!!! tearing the new and old newspaper
getting in the way of the dust pan and brush
just a nuisance he always decides he needs a drink when im doing his cage XD
such a scamp
Then I dashed off to go meet lynn
we were going to the dodgey end of town, i have only walked down it once
and that was pack when i was in college
lynn and her husband den where there when i arrived
and we went round the market i picked up a couple of fabric
there was plenty of cheap fabrics but they were mainly thin fabrics
fabrics i dont work with
so it was hard to find what you wanted and seeing as i didnt actually
need anything i didnt go buying loads that i would then have trouble storing
so i picked up 1m of this black material for £2 and the pink tartan 1m for £1.50
i could not believe the value, i dont know anywhere that sells fabric for that price
i picked up some cottons and press studs
but also in the photo is a dragon
random i know, but i found it in a charity shop today for £1.50
its TY beanie. I have one identical to it
Mia has always liked it and says she wants one, so when i randomly
saw it in a toy section i picked it straight up. she wont be expecting this XD
gonna give it a wash first
also from charity shop i picked up this
i know its a bit werid but i really liked it
i brought it as a ring but when i got home i put it on a chain
as i dont wear rings, its cool and i love it ^^
We went for lunch at 11am, i had eaten breakfast at 9:30am
so i wasnt hungry and was happy just having a hot drink
but den ordered and paid for me to have a english breakfast with them 0.0
any other person would be happy and grateful
i was grateful but he couldnt have done a worse thing for me
my head went into over drive. dear god it was like hysterical up there
i ate most of it because its rude not to eat food someone has paid for you to have
but my head was just having none of it
we started off home and den suddenly took a turn for the worse
he's terminally ill so this can happen at any time and can come on rapidly
we had to stop every 10 meters for him to catch his breath and stuff
i worried about them getting home
until he turned to me and said "jo if i pay you will you take us home?"
i said no need to pay me i'll take home no problem
so i did, i didnt mind in fact i felt better knowing he had got home
and he got his medication when he got in and went to bed
i stayed with lynn for a while talking sewing and fussing toddie
i got home at 3:30pm normally i would go to bed so i would
have energy stored for yoga
but oh no my head had other plans
in the end i danced in my room and when it had finished raining
i went for a walk for 30mins
i was shattered but at least it shut my head up for a bit
and what with doing yoga later too, i should be able to sleep peacefully
i rang the doctors today and made an appt - 18th at 8:50am
i cant go on like this im actually gonna go insane
ive been poorly once i will not be poorly again
Im just sorting out a few things then im off to yoga
id like to do another part of Ed's present tomorrow, seeing as its his bday today
and ive got to do a patchwork piece for lynn
ok im off for now~
