I do not like naps where I'm not sure if I've been asleep or not, or for how long. Makes me loose all concept of time and what day it is. Pretty sure its Wednesday though.

Balloons!

"You look ridiculous if you dance. You look ridiculous if you don’t dance. So you might as well dance."

Gertrude Stein

Just so you know, I'm definitely trying to avoid writing my CCS blog post, so decided to write a fun one on here instead. Its still writing... I just don't know what to write about to do with Collecting and Displaying Craft. Mostly because I've been a bad student and not done any research, although I did go to an exhibition which kinda counts. Just didn't do any notes or sketches while I was there. Oops.

Anyways, today has been pretty fun. I went on my usual walk to Victoria park, however this time Kate came with me. So we ended up in the Leicester Uni Scream pub, Loaded Dog. And it turns out NO ONE at UOL goes to the pub at like half 5 on a tuesday afternoon/evening... So it was fairly blatant that we were not from UOL. As well as everyone who was in there seemed to be pretty quiet and considering there was only two of us we were pretty loud chatting and laughing... or maybe it was just echoing? Basically too happy for that time of day and very hard workers, naturally.

Made me grin with hilarity, as Anj caught me doing so.

Design Craft Fundraising Bits

Just some little pin badges I made to sell for our fundraising stall.

"You saw me in the street once.

Or least someone you thought that was me. and later that night you left me a message, and when I called you back, it inevitably ending it with you missing me.

You didn’t say it, but I knew there was more behind your voice. There always is.

You told me all about the girl and how she looked like me. And like second nature, you added that she was pretty too. I knew that was either a compliment or you trying to be suave. I went with latter and responded “Don’t act suave, it doesn’t suit you.” And you said “You know me better than I think sometimes, but it was a compliment among many.”

And there was your “I miss you” statement.

I don’t know how or why, but that was it. And this is why I always know where things end with you once they begin. Back into the past is all we have and somehow you always know the way. But I’m not that naive girl anymore and you’re no longer that enamoured boy and still, somehow you always drag me back in. Somehow, there’s something that always brings me back to you and only you seem to know what it is — as if it’s this secret little password you keep just for you to use whenever you want to want my doors to open again, whenever you want my heart to give in.

Somehow, it never fails.

Somehow, I always come back to you."

Lovely Things

Put my final pieces for the Creative Processes project on LOVELY THINGS,

So go have a look see!

• Same Cover, Different Ideas
• Soaked & Distressed Covers
• Layered Soaked Cover and Digital Print
• Multiple Layered Worn

Considering I haven't slept properly for 4 nights, I still feel relatively cheerful. Which is good, because party prep starts soon. Dead excited!

Completely fed up of coughing now. My entire body hurts every time I do and it just refuses to let me have a nice, lovely long sleep. I've got James & Lou's engagement party tonight and if it stops me from enjoying it I will be completely furious, as I've been looking forward to this for WEEKS. So get yo' act together body, yes? Please and thank you.
