Blog, Boxing and Birthdays

Hello again

As you can see, I've changed my blog template again. I really like it, but then my mood/style changes so often, it might well change again. Do you like it?

The Mr and I (and cats) are moving again! We will be relocating ourselves to another area of Swansea (2 streets away from where I was living before) to a house with more room! I will actually have a room for my crafts, bliss! So now if the rest of the house looks untidy, I won't be able to blame it on the lack of space to work in, and my laziness will be out there for all to see.

So ready for the move, I am having a clear out of old clothes, and craft supplies. I already have a box full of card making supplies going to a paper crafter and a stash of scrap fabrics going to a sewing friend of my sister's I recently met. There are a lot more things to sort out and pack away, but its turning out some surprising finds of things I forgot I had, like these really retro doll faces I bought and some cool Japanese stickers and accessories.

It will be my birthday tomorrow, the last of my 20s!! :( But I am actually looking forward to my 30s), so I will try to enjoy it to the full. A day of coffee, Hitchcock films, shopping and dinner are on the cards! :) Plus I found my cake in the fridge this morning, hahaha, it was trying to hide behind a small jar or teryaki sauce...lol, cakes can't hide from me for long!

Oh, one more thing! I signed up to a craft swap, my very first, at Artichoke designs, I've just given over my details and answered some questions on my likes and dislikes, any allergies etc. I liked that I could give information like this. So I will hopefully get matched with someone soon! I can't wait to get started on some goodies!

I will report back on my birthday findings!!!

Cheerio!

Look what I just won on ebay....

I just bid this afternoon and won this:

I've been meaning to make a white box for a while now to get some uniform photos of my things, nice an bright. So found this on ebay, bargain!!! So I can hopefully start taking some clear shots from this weekend. Now to start sewing more things to shoot!!! lol!

Hope you all enjoyed the wedding festivities and the long weekend? I'm not much for watching royal occasions, but this couldn't be missed. I thought They both looked lovely, and genuinely happy, and wish the best to them both. Otherwise, the Mr and I have been repainting our bedroom (it's been crying out for a paint for months), I have gone all capsule on my wardrobe and thrown or donated old things I don't need, can't fit into or don't wear anymore. I can actually see everything in there now, its been years since I could last say that!! The house is looking more spacious, which is a miracle as the place is tiny!! And we both have lots of hobbies! Hoping that our savings will eventually allow us to buy something a bit bigger when we can ever afford to buy our first place.

There are a few summer makes in the pipeline, but I don't want to divulge them yet so that they're a surprise. But they are old skool cool!!!

oh, yeah, my birthday is coming up soon, keep forgetting that, my last year in my 20s, oh what to do with it eh? maybe a tiny last tattoo before its over? or a pair of irregular choice shoes? hmmmm

Imagine Homer Simpson drooling over a donut, and that's me right now!!!
