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?

Precisely ....Precisely

Yesterday I decided to embroider some of my favourite feminist quotes, it was very therapeutic until I got to 'precisely'. which, I do not know why I decided to embroider TWICE.

IN THE WRONG PLACE. 

Was obviously so relaxing that I forgot how to use my noggin. Well, it only took me half an hour to realise this and then unpick it all.

But I have cheered myself up with some nice outfit photos today, would of liked to do them outside but its still pissing it down AS PER USUAL. Well, that's what you get for living in England.





Tee Primark
Dress New Look
Tights :/ OLD
Shoes some cheap shoe shop
Beads Vintage
Belt Vintage
Flower Gift

Apart from that my weeks been pretty good, a little scarce on outfit photos due to the fact I spent a few days in just paint covered leggings and shirts.... Getting some emulsion on to boards to start my first paintings of the year!

I love this outfit, its abit of everything, and although I love to dress in a theme this  really cheered me up. I love stripes especially tights and love the looks people give me because they know there not fashionable and not many girls wear dresses this length at my age... well not where I live. It's just plain jersey but a simple design is really nice to jazz up, i think its supposed to me a maxi dress but  my tallness combats this a makes it a midi ( there 'in' right?)

Also loving these shoes, bargain satin red sneakers which I have mostly been wearing all of this week, its nice to have a change from DM's and still be comfy.


And flowers in my hair always make me happy, especially these satin red ones I got from my buddy for Christmas...Instant spanishishnessss <3

Incase you were wondering what quote I was embroidering it was this one by Rebecca West...

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: 
 I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that
differentiate me from a doormat.

genius.
