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
didnt watch it yesterday as goggle box was on ^^
 
anyway thats me off for now~

I forgot + kaimono!

Im sorry I forgot to blog last night!
By time I had realized I had turned my laptop off
and couldnt really be bothered to turn it back on
because if im honest i did bugger all yesterday! 
i got nothing done. I had reflex in the morning with karen that was about it
oh she mentioned that she was getting a tattoo done by her best friend
who is going on a 2 day course then practicing on her!!!!
she must be insane, and she has no idea what tattoo she wants
something simple so its not too hard for her friend's first attempt
so I tried doing a doodle for karen, she didnt ask me to but
i felt like i wanted to so she had some guidance on it
i dont want her just going on google images and finding a picture =.=
so i drew her a tree and elephant 2 things she loves

She loved it and will show it to her friend later

Today I went into the city with mummy X3
been a long while since we've been in together
and seeing as i didnt get to go in on wednesday i needed to go!
we walked round and i got my hoodie, from sports shop
2 hoodies for £18 which isnt bad really mines purpley blue mums is baby pink
i was gonna get a mega thick hoodie but it was £21 it was nice
but when i think that ive paid £20 for my new coat this year it doesnt seem right
my coat was in the sale reduced from £60 tho but still

we picked up some white hot choc as we were running low
in the shop they had a hot choc machine going so i had a free sample X3
i went to forbidden planet for manga, every volume i wanted they didnt have =.=
we stopped for lunch in a cafe we have never been in
it was cheap, small and the food was amazing not to mention the hot choc
id go there again!

We went to CEX in the hope of finding "Bidget Jones Diary" but they
barely had anything in >.> we got a few gifts from debenams well mum did
i did get a t-cup with saucer and tea-bags to finish off mia's present from there
upstairs as debenams had 20% off everything i thought id check out the lingerie section
as i only get underwear from there when its highly reduced
and to my luck they had a 70% sale on 0.0 so i had my head in racks of bras XD
i found one i liked and its amazing! it does up in the middle at the front!
ive never had one like this its well more convenient. it was £5 with the extra 20% off!
shocking as you dont wanna know how much it would have been
i found the matching panties and to my surprise they had been reduced to £2
so i picked em up, debenams pants are amazing i cant explain its pure luxury 
but they are pricey i mean who has the money to spend £20+ on 1 pair of pants!?
not me for sure but this is the first time ever ive had a matching underwear set X3

I went to blueinc and brought my brother a t-shirt in the sales for xmas
i got a magnet to put in lynn's xmas card, baubles from £1shop to finish the wreath off
a comedy DVD for my dad's xmas present, me and mum both got a 2016 guinea calender,
think that was everything
i only have to odd bit to get to finish off gifts then im done!

i was shattered and so was mum we had been 4 hours in the city
we got home and had a brew and put our feet up, well first the pets came outside :)

then i finished the wreath i will photo tomorrow, read one of mia's mangas
bit of dancing and yoga 
I found bridget jones diary in a charity shop - new for £1.99 so we have something
to watch tonight! as its children in need one channel and bloody football on another
honestly theres loads of sports channels but football for some reason still get to
dominant the 1 - 5 channels >.> so we were desperate for something to watch!

my brother is coming home at midnight tonight
my parents are fetching him whilst i will be sleeping~
so when i wake up i can see him again :D

tomorrow I plan to start making dom's present~

elephant and yoga card

Evening all


Well my day got screwed over big time >.>

I was fuming
I got my bag packed last night and fresh clothes out
all in preparation for going into the city in the morning
to pick up xmas presents 
But when I woke up I felt like road kill
my head hurt i felt sick, my stomach hurt and i felt drained
so I spent my morning huddled in a ball in pain
and emptied my stomach contents 6 times!!!! my stomach felt like battery acid

lunch time came and I thought id eat and go to bed to escape the 
way i was feeling. i ate a big lunch for my simply because i think 
my insides were empty so i had the room!
i got the pets in and made sure i could go to sleep in peace with everyone out
lynn said she'd ring me at 3pm and it was now 1pm
plenty of time

at 1:20pm the door bell goes, its the post man so i got up from my bed
went back to bed 1:35pm the door bell goes, its a delivery man so once
again i got up and went back to bed
2pm im dosing off and my guts make noises again to which had me
groaning "jeez again!?" so i was on the toilet again!
so you know what, I actually gave in and said SOD IT! 
i got up and did some baking XD
clearly wasnt allowed to escape today
and in the end lynn never rang! so i could have slept later on if i wanted =.=

I ended up baking a tray bake cake i hadnt done before
its a white chocolate cake ^^
my parents came home and saw it and were glad for pudding later
we had it with custard it was sooooooo good

I got my frames in the post to finish presents
so i did them and will upload photos soon
i did photograph Karen's elephants i made



and Yoga Karen's gingerbread yoga xmas card

I started making a fabric wreath for my hairdressers for xmas
i noticed every year under their tree is chocolates so i like to give
them something different, and they charge me their old
prices so its so nice of them and i must save a lot really compared
to what they charge now days
i just need some mini baubles and its done :D

tomorrow I have reflex tomorrow with karen
my parents have said they will pay for my treatment for a while
seeing as i dont have an income
sponge yet again.....

thats it for today~

Tohru Honda Present

Konbanwa~

Today I woke up before 6am as I wanted to say 
goodbye to my brother before he went on his
college trip to France
I could tell he was nervous bless him
I felt anxious for him
When he left I went back to bed and actually got
back to sleep! I woke up at 8:20am
which I was shocked at as I half expected to wake up 9am onwards 

The pets were able to go outside this morning!
so it made a change this morning that was for sure
I had the house to myself so I recorded a dance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7Rx6IEckpg
Which was fun to do
then I started sewing these elephants up for the final
part of Karen's present I got them finished just a min ago

Mum came home from work so we grabbed a quick lunch
and went out clothes shopping she was in need of clothes
as 3 t-shirts of hers got wrecked this week from grannys coffin flowers
the deadly staining pollen from the lily flowers!
claimed 3 t-shirts tut tut
Mum ended up buying a bundle she did really well
I just got a t-shirt nothing special just everyday thing to wear in the house

we came back and puts pets outside again ^^
I continued the elephants
I finished watching Blood Lad today as well
ive watched 2 anime series in like a week
im shocked as i go in and out of watching anime

I went for a walk with Mia
seeing her before she has 4 teeth out this thursday and friday T^T
hope shes gonna be ok
shes unsure if someone can go with her on the day she has her brace
fitted so i said id take her if need be
here is her present a tohru honda style art piece


tomorrow I am planning on doing a city trip by myself
something i havent done in god knows how long!
Its gonna take a lot of will to go
but i need to get xmas presents before it gets packed in the city

My Hama Beads~

Konbanwa~

Ahhh last night i didnt sleep well at all
I had a nightmare, woke up sweating, heart pounding and head hurting
so it took a while to get off to sleep again

I tried to do more of mum's present this morning
whilst she was at work but i was experimenting with materials
for it so in the end i didnt actually get any thing done to
her present ><

I sat an made my yoga teacher a christmas card
its cute and different and most important - yoga style
I will photograph it~

I went to bed during the day i was shattered
i didnt go for a walk due to it being cold, wet and very windy
i just knew i wouldnt enjoy it

I finally got round to photographing my Hama beads
soooo here is Mario for Ed

Tohru Honda for Mia

and Pokemon for Tara

not bad i guess, only Mia's is framed which I will photograph
Im waiting for 2 other frames

My brother is leaving tomorrow T^T
he's going to France with college for a few days 0.0
I know im gonna be thinking about him and worrying about him
