An Ode to Pop

Hello! I have drawn a Poppy. That's not the end of the post, but nearly. I have drawn a Poppy because one of my best friends, at age 19, found out her ovaries don't work - HOW SHITTY IS THE WORLD? SUPER DUPER SHITE! But through all of that - she has still been my beautiful shining beacon of red and the rock to me I hope she always will be - I know, I'm a selfish cow....

Mural-ity

My friend and I MIGHT be painting a mural in my spare room, It hinges on permission from my (rather straight laced) partner, aaaand being able to get an image projector from somewhere. I am extreeeeeemly excited about the prospect of this, so excited in fact that I rather want to go and start splatting paint around in there now. Who needs shitty wall decos 'ey? nope, not me...I am an arteeeEEEst!

A REAL charity shop

I must admit I a bit of a charity shop addict, but recentely they have been letting me down left right and centre. I just don't really think the average old biddy knows what the, shall we say 'street value' of a lot of items are - but let's not get started on a great big rant because I do try to avoid that on here (one of the many reasons for my spasmodic posting!)

Aaaaaanyhoo... the little spot of paradise where my parents live seems to me to have, what I call REAL charity shops, in its vicinity;


this lot, cost me £2.98, that's right - and those suitcases were 99 english pence each! - but it's really not just about the price, because obviously I realise it's all for a good cause. It's just the sheer volume of quality items that they seem to have in comparison to my local treasure troves, basically, you don't have to work quite so hard to find a real gem item (which in all honesty, simply appeals to my lazy side)

Anyway, my plan for those suitcases is for crafty storage and the jar is going to be for either sugar or pasta I haven't decided yet....also, I have decided, my NEXT post WILL include a picture of the infamous craft corner, no more beating around the bush.

Flopbag

.....flop, floppy and flop bag, these are my new favourite words at the moment as I am all three. I don't want to do the whole excuses thing but you know it, the same ole song, work work work no time for play -sing along if you know the words! I even forgot one of my best friends birthdays and to send my wonderful nannies and grandmas thankyou cards for my birthday which was OVER a month ago!

til now when I have let myself have an evening off - I put these floppy excuses for thankyou (actually, "post") cards together, oh and wrote this floppy blog post...oh and finally plucked my eyebrows.

BRING ON THE DISSERTATION SO I CAN FLOP THAT TOO!

Sweden a card and a rather hard bump to the head...

So, I had a good time in Sweden. I went with my university so we were looking at lots of childcare settings - very interesting indeed. Unfortunately I had a little bit too much to drink on the last night and gave myself concussion! Arggggh, well I got to experience the swedish healthcare system at least...This is the first time I've really properly got to the computer since it happened as I've just been in bed reading, watching DVD's and making this for my wonderful tutor who had to stay with me;

If you don't think the card is lame enough you should of seen all the cheese I wrote inside! I meant every word though as she really was amazing.

Over and out.

Make a Mosiac

I have had lots of fun creating this little mosaic using flickr. It was actually kind of a game I found out about on one of the blogs I read, the rules can be found here.


Here's the photo information (the fact that there are two by the same person/featuring the same girl, was a pure accident, I just liked the pictures and honestly didn't even realise until I'd finished the mosiac...how weird is that? and as I result I read a few of of her ramblings, took a liking to her, and discovered her blog!)
