I am ridiculous.

So now that I am back at uni I feel that I have more time to do things like this... which is pretty bad for my time management. But I want to show off what I have been doing lately - it has taken me 4 weeks to come up with these works, which is far too long. But after working all summer it took me a while to even begin to think about art.

So I have learnt to stretch my own canvas, which is really satisfying but stressful and hard. However, I am taking an easy route and stretching with synthetic fabrics instead. I'm cool like that. I've also been shoving fabric through my printer at home, saving myself a lot of money instead of going to the super expensive (but still awesome) digital fabric printing place. If only my printer would print larger than a4...

Oh, and Happy New Year. Heres to 2011! L xo

Back on Board... Kinda

It's been lovely having a break from the blog, still not sure if I can be bothered. I feel weird about it because I don't know who reads it (apart from family) and don't see the point in it sometimes, except maybe to look back on in a few years.

So anyway... I've been working away like a little bee at my job, which I am enjoying for the most part I guess. Work is work. I am loving my days off and have spent every one of my weekends at the beach, it's fantastic! I've also been spending time with friends, which is even better.

Notice my necklace, made by the lovely Miss Ferrit

And my extra special occasion hair

And while I wrap endless amounts of Christmas gifts for customers, I cannot help but get a little bit festive, I hope to have a tree next year!

I'm not sure..

I am not sure about you at the moment blog.... I'm on a blogging holiday until I work out whether I want to keep it. L xo

Sleeeepp...

I am sooo tired, this is my first full week of work and I'm only up to day 4 and I feel like I could stay in my bed forever. I'm really not used to standing all day and I'm looking forward to my weekend (which isn't the old sat-sun like most lucky people). Right now I am drinking a Macs Sour Green Apple soda, sooo perfect for summer and listening to the fireworks going off around the place. I am terrified of fireworks, really wish it wasn't so. I can't stand to be near them, but they sure are pretty:

Hellooooo Summer!

Walking to work this morning I realized just how warm it was, summer is definitely coming and it feels wonderful. Not so much for James however as he just got back from a boys trip to the beach and is bright red and in lots of pain, poor boy. I'm going to try my best to avoid a sunburn this summer I swear. Right now I am enjoying wearing skirts and dresses without being unbearably hot and uncomfortable. I love reading blogs, however most of the ones I read are in the northern hemisphere and are frolicking around their autumn landscapes making me long for scarves and boots.

Apart from working I haven't really got a clue what to do with my time. It's strange not having assignments and artworks to get finished. I'm hoping to a few trips out of the city. L xo

Girls Night

Last night my two dear friends Juliette and Miri came over and we embarked on one of the biggest girls night I have ever had. Pizza was eaten, lollies were scoffed, there were glitter tattoos, cat stickers and feathers in our hair. Face masks were applied, interesting ones at that. Miri pulled off the Choco-mask and I got a freaky one that heated on application...weird but nice. And then we fell asleep watching Grey Gardens. Seriously one of the best nights I've had in a long time, I am looking forward to summer with these girls!

The calm beginning with the GIANT pizza.

Seriously silly. L xo

Homey

This is my kinda place, I found it on The Selby.
