The day off

Today I fell in love with:
Cambridge
Rooftop gardens and..
Starbucks Cafe Latte
On my day off I started with a little work at the office filling out an application for a television show here in the UK. The I went downtown Huntingdon and post a gift to Ms. Laura Williams and the application. I got myself a stand from Argos to hang my clothes in my room (pictures later this week witha room tour!) and also a Ploughmans Sandwaich from Sainsbury. Following that I went to Cambridge for some Starbucks, city gazing and grazing around an art gallery..full of cow art. Will share more later. Now it's to bed with a hot drink, some Vicks and someone suggest: Hot Sauce (Louisiana Hot Sauce here I come!!). And a chick flick (course!).

Eye*Candy

Lazy Saturdays, this is me and Charlie after a bunch of walking and meeting people and dogs at the Garden Show in P-Town.

Rise and shine we have work to do!

Here are some layouts I did in my 8x8 scrap book last week.






I painted this..

And studied this style of drawing..


I obv don't understand..water color pencils..at least not the ones I have..

This is my art journal




First attempt at this style..


I have minimal shelfage..

I made this slide too..

Today I gave Charlie a faux hawk, but after discovering how soft his fur is short..I shaved it off.

So far so good.

What would you like me to blog on, any suggestions?
I'll have plenty of photos to share next week, Daniel is coming up and I think I may do a photoshoot.

Love love LV today

I love the sunny sun sun

I made this little dress for a girl that my friend adopted from China, I hope it fits, she is 3 and I heard she is tall, width is fine, I guess either way it can be a top too!! The tie is a brooch so it's removable.

I did some braided ties. Braiding is a GREAT help for any straps or ties. It makes a simple and pretty look.

And you don't have to hide-seam sew any straps!

I thought this was a cute little addition too!

Tonight is the last lesson in my class! Yummy Sorbet!! But no worries, I am doing a summer class with yummy kebabs, bacon florentine, chocolate banana melts(for throwing on a open fire! Go lake food!!) and stuffed Jelapenos!

That won't start until May, as this month I am having gastirc bypass surgery. You've heard the horror stories, believe me, so have I but I've heard the great successes too. And although I'm super nervous (considering today I got a paper telling me to sign on the dotted line because you could die in surgery or from bloodclots) I'm super excited too.

It's Friday! Friday is my favourite day of the week..
1. Tonight I stay up real late. I might get some typing in before that.
2. Tomorrow morning - hello sleeping in (minus letting the dog out lol)
3. I might visit my Aunt Georgina tomorrow
4. Start the Natalini project (a thank you package of goodies)
5. Make some more goodies for friends, maybe a few hair slides, brooches and a teddy bear perhaps
6. Planting herbs
7. Going to church

AND

Monday: Daniel is here until Wed. Wooooowhoo.

What are you doing this weekend? And gimme your honest opinion on the little dress..ok for a beginner? Pretty good? Don't quit your day job? lol

You can stand under my umbrella ella ella hey hey hey..

Hello. It rained all day and all night last night. Me and dad still went down town, we dropped off our presc. meds and then went down town. He did some band stuff and I saw some really awesome chipbaord lettering at The Grafton. It was cool.

I discovered a hole in my armpit..not the nicest discovery ever. So I will go to the doctor. Maybe they can put me on drugs that heal me. Or something, because nothing under my arms is healing. HS can be difficult to figure out sometimes.

Anyway. I am super dooper sleepy right now, so I'm off. Tomorrow..lots of work! I have to list a bunch of things on e-bay. And do some pages for scrap booking and start looking for some more paper to reuse for some stuff. Yup yup.

Peace and love!!

Hello. Hello Fall. Hello you.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share with you a few things today!! It's FALL. Yes, here in England it's fall, as in cold and dark..sooner. It gets dark around 4:30pm. So we only have a few hours of good light. BUT it feels like halloween. I'm not a big celebrator, I go out in the States, dress up. But I don't really party much or trick or treat. But the strange thing is, when I go for a walk..to the next town..it smells like it did when I was kid. The sun is shining but it's also cloudy, it's chilly but a flannel shirt is all I need, and it smells..it smells like freshness. You feel the warmth of the inside..outside and appreciate it much more. Home becomes cozy, inside warm, hot things comforting. The smell of apple pie or mince pies makes you want to curl up and watch a movie or play a game or (for me!!) scrap book. Tea tastes better, sleep is harder. It's fall.

So I made these fingerless gloves!!

I know they kind of look hobo(ish) still but do not fear, these special fingerless gloves I will be adding buttons and lace to. Maybe some cool stuff I find.

FALL!

My Mum made them, I iced them. BOOOOO!!!
Boolicious.
This is where I walk!!
This is the pub up the road! Doesn't it remind you of The Holiday!! Hehe.

My first layout in my scrap book where I've sewn it!!

See!!
This is of my great friend/brother Elree Ellis(as most know him). He changed my life in one summer. I've never seen so much love from someone as I have from this man and his family. Now I have many sisters and brothers and even a Mum away from my real Mum. Sharon, Will's mother always makes a soul feel loved and welcome and we enjoy eachothers fellowship so much!! Love and miss you guys!!
That's all for now. I'm very sleepy. But tomorrow we get our frist Tesco Rental by post. Wooowhoo finally some good wholesome films, instead of the flops that they have available at Blockbuster here.
Peace and Love!
BOOOOO!!
