Thank Fuck it's friday.

 

As you can see I went OTT with trying out some stuff on Photoscape :)

T-shirt- Primark, slashed by me

Jeans- Oxfam

Boots- Dr Martens

Scarf- H&M

Decided to slash the back of this Tshirt last night whilst watching that spooky Marchlands that was on. Will be watching the next one but it seems a bit predictable and slow. I like the back of the T-shirt but I still think the front is a bit plain, I want to print some Tees, might use some of my Iron on Transfers this weekend.

My boots are another one of pairs or Docs, you cant see the back in this pic but they have pick patent Guitars up the back. I think if I ever get married I'll wear white Docs, but not a white dress, I don't really do white clothing.

I'm so thank full it's finally Friday night, complete fall out. Hardcore Friday evening = town alone, library alone bus alone with unbelievable heavy bag with 10 books in.Yeah I know I should in Skins or some Teen cool TV show because my life is THAT thrilling.

Borrowed some books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to use in my coursework, and some Sherlock Holmes books for my art project including this...

I'm not gonna hide from you that I am an immense IMMENSE IMMENSE

IMMENSE zombie fan.

Any kind, virus, supernatural, intelligent, undead,  modern day, futuristic, past...I just love them.

And seeing as my brother has nearly every Marvel comic in existence I also have a appreciation for graphic novels. I always love the independent ones especially Victorian/steam punk and stand reading them in Forbidden Planet, so when I stopped by the graphic novel section n the Library I had a look for any new/interesting arrivals...AND THERE WAS THIS!

The art is amazing, only read a bit on the bus whilst eating a Freddie frog and Chomp but it seems a pretty good storyline too!

I also went round all the charity shops and bought A Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle which I haven't read and a £1.40 kit to build your own MDF pop put dolls furniture...yeh I know.lol.

It was cool little chairs and Victorian/regency style table so I couldn't resist!

My mama bought me lots of nice treats from Asda, mainly chocolaty things, so I'm probs gonna go get some of them now, sit down with my Look and More magazines and wait for Embarrassing bodies to come on!

Heres a classic that always improves my Friday evening and is always in my Top 25 played on my iopd :)

Btw if you didn't know you can follow me on Twitter!

Hope your all having a chilled Weekend Eve xxx

Week in 10 #2

This week has been spent...

1. Eating lovely things (by that I mean sweet, unhealthy stuff)- after an empty kitchen finally went shopping to restock, and got all my favourite foodies like chocolate eclairs, Muller yogurts, Shreddies, Galaxy chocolate, Strawberry and chocolate milkshake... yeah there could be a pattern here!

2. looking at my fabric collection- I really want to start some sewing projects as I've got some really cool fabrics including Paddington Bear, which I  can't wait to get started with!

3. Portfolio making- I have an interview for an art course I want to do on Friday, so although I have millions of sketchbooks and life drawings to take, all my other work is huge, unmovable paintings or installations so I bought such a cute little photo album from Paperchase and have been compiling it :)

4. Watching Dr.Who on double bill and looking up the hidden synoptic links in my Dr Who book of facts ...lol Geek.

5. Bargain shopping! Look out for the next post on all my great finds!

6.Nursing my ear :( - even though I haven't had any piercings done for a while now one of my earrings flared up, probs because I'm naughty and wear cheap large earrings then sleep in them so my ear hurts.. but it's all good now, a little bit of care and antibiotic cream and its all hunky dory in the ear dept once again.

7. Drawing the Jaberwocky- For my mother (who works in a school) to put up in her class who are studying the poem... I did it all on A1 in black marker, its fun to just chill and do some kiddy, cartoon sketching some times....especially with MARKERS!

8. Listening to Paloma Faith and my new Radio 1 Live Lounge CD's a bit too loud haha

9. Wearing my bunny slippers and covering up with a snuggie blankie ( one of those ones with arms so I can still work, because it's been so cold with all the rain :(

10. Sorting out the garden- I'm not big on gardening but I'm always out there because of my bunnies so I like it to be kept tidy, and occasionally I have the urge to plant a few seeds....not that they ever like to grow for me very well!

What have you guys been up to this week?

Week in 10 #1

I've decided to start a regular feature of my week in 10, probs because I don't seem to have the time to get everything I feel like sharing down in the week, it's not gonna be extensive just 10 short snipits of thing I've been up to this week, hopefully with some photos (fingers crossed!)

Ok, this week has been spent....

1. Wearing Shoes - really been into shoe-socks combo this week as you can see from here and here

    2. Drinking Hot chocolate mmmmm- especially when drunk out of my new DrWho mug with marshmallows, cream and biscuits homemade by one of my buddies <3



Oh and yes that is my DrWho table top calender in the background



I Had two choc orange ones and they were gorgeous :)

3.  Sitting on my desk embroidering the Pope's face onto plastic sheeting - basically what my art project went into this week..haha but very therapeutic

4. Tweeting- I have twitter!!! just got it yesterday and set up mobile tweeeets so I can post even when I'm out and about, check it out!

5. Sitting at desks- whether mine in my room looking out on my road, or my one at my art studio (which I have mainly been sitting on -see 3) just working and organising and BLOGGING!

6. Listening to my ipod- with the walk in the morning back into my life I have selected my fav playlists, THE WHOLE SWEENY TODD MUSICAL (original cast of course) all that talk of killing and cutting people up into pies really gets me going for the day you know? 

7. Eating chocs- had too many left over for Christmas so of course me and my art dudes were happy to dispose of them ( one box of chocolate eclairs, one box of Thornton's, and maybe all the pink ones from the Roses tin by myself :))

8. Watching my Les Mis 25th Anniversary at the 02 DVD- whilst ironing then with hot choc, SO GOOOD, if you like the musical or book then check it out <3

9. Watching TV- there are finally good things on eg. Primeval season 4 on Saturday night and I've just seen the start to the new series of Larkrise to Candleford which started tonight <3 I love a bit of dinosaurs and period drama...hmmm maybe be should have a period drama with dinos, if you threw DrWho in there and some class songs it would be so immense my brain would implode, and all the imploding energy would grow, create a black hole and suck you into it...so, its up to you.

10. Reading- I finished my book , Scarlett Thomas' My Tragic Universe, very different to what  I usually read but very thought provoking a lovely ending.

I hope next week contains as many nice things!
