102!

i totally missed 100 posts....so yay im on 102!!!!!!

did a bit of scrapping yesterday, managed 3 layouts including this one using the qtea add on gnome kit, which was perfect for the photo!
last night when we went to bed, tom was actually in his basket! the first time he's used his cat bed. although he obviously felt he was missing something because at 5 i woke up with him sprawled on my feet. bless.

working 3 nights starting tonight, so my life will pretty much be on hold until i see daytims...speaking of daytime, its still gorgeous outside! chilly but beautiful. roll on summer!

just received these labels from every jot and tittle . love em


also check out new sassafrass lass lines here. oh my god i love the robots!!

a change of scenery

so i decided that i didnt like the buttons that were originally on this dress. they were fabric covered and had no 'oomph'. so i cut them off and replaced them with these

i think they look cute!

also for your viewing delight is dear tom doing what cats do best, sleeping.

ive just updated my ipod for the first time since we got the internet back, and it isnt letting me sync the songs ive bought. so no imogen heap, no arcade fire and no suburban lgegends. if anyone else has this problem and has solved it, pleased tell me how!

its back

yup the dizziness. i was supposed to go back to work today, but woke up after having disorientating dreams, to find the dizziness had returned. i felt awful phoning in sick again as i had actually been looking forward to going back!! i dont want to feel like this anymore! the doctor said every time i get a cough or cold, i could get this again, so ive decided to take echinachea to boost my immune system. as well as my anti sickness tablets *rolls eyes*. got i feel awful.

damn birds!

we have birds in our loft. how annoying!! they're really loud!! grrrr go and nest in a tree!

on a lighter note, i saw sweeney todd last night. it was amazing! my dad wasnt sure, and my sister's boyfriend said there was too much singing (well it was a musical), but me and marcus loved it. it was really sad at the end. if you dont mind singing and blood, id def recommend it!

and now, because it's so damn nice outside, here's a photo of our small abode...
the left hand window is actually a false one, there to make it look good! we only have the middle and right, and the garage next to the front door.

and our 'garden'

little project

first, check out these plasters/bandages i got. unicorns! also picked up some ribbons from paperchase.

second, i turned my photo album from my jan qtea kit into an inspiration album, with the help of a sewing machine, some felt and some cherry fabric.

paper play and pancakes!

Happy Shrove Tuesday! or pancake day to everyone else!

just made a couple if layouts, as you do! love the way the london one turned out, really simple and effective with just deco tape as a background and some star stickers, thickers, dymo and a heidi swapp notelet. the gig night layout used bampop, a qtea kit notelet and some stickers i had in my RAK mail from jodie.

wore the evil shoes today, as im thinking perseverance will be the key to making them comfy. they still hurt, but not quite as much today

yummy!!

no 1. look at all these easter eggs. in feb!

no 2. my cute outfit! i did wear my shoe boots but after walking round town for 2 hours my feet killed

been out of the house for 6 hours. didnt get my blood tests done as by the time we got to the walk in clinic, the wait was 1hr45 with no guarantee the phlebotomist would be able to see me. so instead we had a massive breakfast at the pub..yummy!

and for some reason, tom keeps freaking out around us. im not sure if its his new collar or he's depressed and wants to go out...

london baby!

went on a spur of the moment trip to london today with my 6 year old nephew, who was a star! we picked him up from swimming so he was already tired out, but he managed to stay awake til we were 10 minutes away, complaining he was bored! i nearly had a run in with an idiot in his car as he had decided that i needed to move to let an ambulance through, when me moving wouldnt have made any difference to said ambulance actually getting through.

the aim of the trip was the British Museum and it's mummy collection, but first we stopped at pizza hut! charlie was a star in the museum, asking lots of questions, really interested. he decided the areas we looked at and got tired about the same time as us! he was very impressed with his gift shop buys, a mini mummified cat figure and a pen with a floating mummy in. as well as his darth vader he'd bought earlier.

this book was used by the wives of samurai as a type of kimono 'catalogue' and this last picture is charlie against an advert for the terracotta warriors, currently on display at the museum (which we didnt get a chance to see this time).
