Big Brothers Back!!!!!

Ok so this post is dedicated to big Brother!!!!

Looooovving Jay!!! Ive got a think about that gordie accent, could listen to it forever, and pphwoar, do i need to explain!!

Marks hilarious, dont understand why Pammie was so….scared?….or him, he would be my best mate if i was in the house!!!

Louise is cute, think she will go far purely because shes a nice girl!

Dislike….Tashie, she does my nut in! talks a load of rubbish, doesnt she get that the things she says are played to the public and if she is wrong (for example pammie being her best mate) she will just look stupid!!!

           …..Rebekah….Now i know lots of people are loving the girl, I however….am not! I cant even explain it, i feel sorry for Aden (who by the way waas on my dislike list for constantly trying to teach people his slang but he’s so cute he’s been transferred to the like!!!) he clearly likes her and she keeps putting him off, aaaw

Anton……….what a *bllleeeeeeeeppp* thats all i have to say about THAT matter!!!!!

Cant really say much about the rest as they havent done alot so far!!!!!

Long time no post!

Just done a painting for my friends little ones room, Sid from “Some dogs do” fab little book, simple story but has a lovely rhyme to it!

Sid from "Some dogs do"

Been doing a lot of reading recently! A good one is “The beach Cafe”

“Evie Flynn has always been the black sheep of her family – a dreamer and a drifter, unlike her over-achieving elder sisters. She’s tried making a name for herself as an actress, a photographer and a singer, but nothing has ever worked out. Now she’s stuck in temp hell, with a sensible, pension-planning boyfriend. Somehow life seems to be passing her by.

Then her beloved aunt Jo dies suddenly in a car crash, leaving Evie an unusual legacy – her precious beach cafe in Cornwall. Determined to make a success of something for the first time in her life, Evie heads off to Cornwall to get the cafe and her life back on track – and gets more than she bargained for, both in work and in love…”

 

Fabulous little book, would deffo reccommend if your thinking on starting a new adventure of some kind, great for inspiration!!

 

Also, keeping to the Cafe theme theres a book called “Meet me at the Cupcake cafe”

 

“Ever dreamed of starting over? Issy Randall can bake. No, more than that – Issy can create stunning, mouth-wateringly divine cakes. After a childhood spent in her beloved Grampa Joe’s bakery she has undoubtedly inherited his talent. So when she’s made redundant from her safe but dull City job, Issy decides to seize the moment and open up her own cafe. It should be a piece of cake, right? Wrong. As her friends point out, she has trouble remembering where she left her house keys, let alone trying to run her own business. But Issy is determined. Armed with recipes posted to her from Grampa, and with her local bank manager fighting her corner, Issy attempts to prove everyone wrong. Following your dreams is never easy and this is no exception. Can Issy do it? “

 

Do not, i repeat DO NOT start this book whilst dieting! It will ruin everything for sure, in every chapter there is a recipie, each one is written in such a personal way (they are written from grandpa to grandaughter) it really makes you want to try them! I must admit ive made the cookies and  scones so far hehe. Im only half way through the story but so far its had me hooked, cant wait for the rest!!!

 

Rite well thats enough for now! untill next time!

Rugs, excitement and Snow!

Hello world, so, i watched the one and only episode ive ever seen of ‘Kirstys Home Made Home’ and decided to have a go at rug making! I bought a metre of hessian from good old ebay but didnt manage to win a nice cheap tool thingy so decided to use a pair of tweezers instead. Im not doing too bad but it takes soooooooooo long and i dont have the best patience hehe. Hopefully If this one goes well (and ever gets finished) Ill have a go at some funky patters as I stuck to striped on my first shot!

The beginnings of my first ever rug!

Im very excited to be gettin Photoshop for my new laptop for Christmas. although It seems it takes santas elves a bit longer to make software so I wont be getting it till January, hehe, never mind Im so excited!

Cant wait for summer!!! And Im a winter fan!!! This cold is just getting silly, so glad my little micra ‘Roy’ is so good in the snow, who , needs a flashy sports car! I feel so sorry for so many people when its like this, Having to travel around and sleep in airports and railways must be a nightmare. Get them bloomin’ heated runways sorted, very surprised that Heathrow doesnt have a better plan!

Right time for C.S.I and some more Rug making!!!

Work, work, work!

Ok so its been a while. I have spent the last few weeks work, work, working! (unfortunately none design work, work, working!) I rreeeaally want to get back into some design work before I lose my flair completely!! Im doing a mural for my bosses kids wall so that should be fun! One day when I have time I also want to try doing some fabric collage cards as I did a wedding reception acceptance card and it went really well!!! Wish I had some pictures to put up but nothin visual going on at the moment!!

stuck on my next step

Hello, well, I was supposed to be making some nice handmade christmas cards but its getting very close and i haven’t even started! Routing through all mu uni stuff to find what i need is not looking like much fun at the moment, especially when it is all in the shed at the end of the garden…and its cold. I’ll get round to doing it eventually and hopefully I’ll do the lot while im at it.

Im thinking of re-using as much old work as possible, i have so many lengths of work that cost me a fortune to make and are just sitting there not doing anything.

This is, and always will be my fave piece of work ever. Its just so big! One day it will come to good use!

Im quite stuck at the moment, I have a great job, but no enough hours and no money! And I would love to do some proper sophie style designing but dont have the time or the money to start a project that might not get anywhere. What to do, what to do…

 

If anyone has any tips for my predicament or words of encourangement now would be the time thanks, x

 

A new day, a new cafe!

Rite, just to let everyone know that my friend Dana is opening a play cafe in the next couple of months. It will be called Fozzy’s play cafe (Fozzy because the surname is Foster)

The address is: Fozzy’s Play Cafe, Unit 4 Southgate, Market Weighton, York

It will be available to book for childrens party’s. Cakes will be made by Maxine…

Its going to be a fantastic place for the kids to have fun and the parents to relax! I will post the opening date as soon as i know it!

Long time, no post!…

Hey world.

Rite, I started my new job as a Food, Textiles and Art technician last week so this has been my first full week! Im so lucky to have got the job and i love it! especially how things are with the whole credit crunch and whatnot. 

I also started slimming world last month and omg, Ive lost almost a stone in a month, im so happy and i love it, its well easy and i can eat chips, whooop! If anyones a bit fed up of crappy diets and not feeling how you want to feel u gotta try it, it really is so simple…oh no i sound like an advert, criiinnnge.

Ive decided Im the biggest lightweight in the world and i cant handle my alcohol so im just not gonna drink!! I hope my personalitys as good sober as it is drunk..if not a bit better, haha. So ive gone about 3 weeks without alcohol and it isnt actually that bad..i can stay out longer too, hehe!!!

A big shopping spree and a fit guy and this will be a very good couple of months for me!! haha, not putting any hopes up on the fit guy though there seems to be a shortage on them at the moment (the kind im looking for anyway, shock!)

Ive started playing my acoustic a bit more recently and im looking for some good things to learn, im loving Newton Faulkner  ( <3 ) but im not that good just yet, haha. So if anyone knows of anything thats that kind of sound but a bit easier for a guitarist that makes it up as i go along please let me know!! Ive been serching www.ultimate-guitar.com which is pretty good but you kind of need to know what your looking for and as most things, i havent got a clue!!

Rite I think thats all i have to say for now, laterz world, xx
