the first of the new line



So I think this will be the start of the new line, for want of a better expression. I've played around with the theme a bit and i think this is the one that works the best, so a few more of these in different colours i think. And we'll see if they sell, I've listed a few on ebay but am gonna check out how to sell on etsy too, i'm all a bit new to online sales so it'll take me some time! That's if they are any good!! I'm gonna aim to do a few craft fairs over the summer too and see how we go. Now just to come up with a name for them!

Life apart from that has been pretty quiet, been making some bits, some i like, others i dont but it's kept me occupied i guess and now it looks like i'm gonna be getting full time hours I won't have as much time on my hands, thankfully!!

Craig always just seems to get the mood right

This was his latest facebook update, as is so often with him and his obscure lyrics, he just hits my mood head on.

'Just not enough.
I need more
Nothing seems to satisfy
I said, I don't want it,
I just need it
To Breathe
To Feel
To know I'm alive

Finger deep within the borderline
Show me that you love me and that we belong together
Relax, turn around and take my hand.'

Great lyrics, well odd song though. By stinkfist. Mind with a name like that.... still it suits the mood of the morning.

I got a job yesterday, it's only part time but i think I'm really going to enjoy it there. And there will be less time to think which is definitely a bonus. I shouldn't be left alone with my own thoughts, it does me no good at all.

New objects of joy :)


Are these! Aint they fab? Uggs aren't normally an extravigance i'd go for but i got these for £35 which i was very chuffed with! Ben is going to hate them, but who cares? I think they're awesome!!
Done another few applications today. I was applying for a bar job and even they have those stupid 'give us an example of...' things. I hate them, they actually make me angry. Much prefer the theatre way of ignoring your CV, phoning you if they're desperate for staff that day and then judging you on the spot. Much better than this psycho analysis nonsence! One of the questions on this form was 'what motivates you to get up every morning?' Oy. At that point i stopped the application, it's utter rubbish! So maybe it will have to be back to theatre but i hope not.
The boys have shot their film, it's for the empire competition, your fave film in a minute. So they' ve done resovior dogs. Next up, Die Hard. Brilliant!! So fingers crossed for them.

Pom Poms and other things


So today has mostly been about finding a job. And pom poms. I found some wool under the bed so thought why not? i haven't made them in years! Now just to find a use for them (scarf?)
Today has also been about finding a job. Didn't get the Costa one, which is no big surprise really since i have no experience in doing anything other than lighting and theatre. But the seasonal vacancies have gone up for the council so I've applied for one at the Botanics and will apply for the one in Craigtoun Park when i get in tonight. It takes so bloody long to fill the form in, it's crazy. At least it's a temporary contract so there's none of that career progression nonsense you normally get. Please, you need staff, i need a job. Oy. But i really fancy the botanics job, esp since just now i seem to be set on wanting to learn floristry so it would be good for that. Fingers crossed, though again I'll be lucky if i have the experience they're looking for (another bug bear of mine, i work hard and learn quickly, does previous experience really matter considering with any new job you have to go through training? hmm)
Going to find out if the gym is open, if so i'm gonna head up there. The bits i ordered to start making the hair slides are here so i'm gonna make a start on that too, yay!

Isn't this amaing? If only i had a macbook!
Been having a wee look round itsy for some ideas, i've got a load of my own wich i'm currenlty working on but i wish i had thought of some of the stuff that's on there, it's awesome!
Bought a few bits and bobs to start the charm bracelets and broches. now just waiting on them to arrive, boo!
Ben gets back from London tonight and i should find out about the job tomorrow, not that i think i'll get it but i'll keep my fingers crossed anyway. In the meantime i'm off to do some ebaying!

hello!

soo made it to blogspot, via tumblr. would have thought there would have been some sort of link up between the two but apparently not :)
