shopping

I went into town after work today, to my two favourite shops... the art shop and the haberdashery. Stocking up on goodies to make a book tomorrow...


I'm so used to making book experiments with little scraps of paper that it feels a little strange buying nice paper and card, and I was so indecisive in the shop, I didn't get home until 8pm (although I must admit I took a minor detour to Borders to buy myself a treat...) But in the end I made my mind up and went for a nice chocolaty brown, with these colours for the spine...


So busy day tomorrow!

saucers

I did it. I sat myself down and made a start, and a few hours later I'm nearly done. It only took 4 cups of tea, half a bar of chocolate (eaten a square at a time as reward), one round of washing up (which I hate) and one small visit to the shops to buy some new saucers for my plants to sit on (very urgent and essential I assure you). A few hours isn't that long is it, if only I'd started sooner I tell myself, then I would have been finished days ago...


So now all I have to do is press the send button and keep my fingers crossed for the chance of an interview... eeeek!

spoilt

This arrived today...


Woohoo! I've had it on my 'wish list' for ages and decided last week that I deserved a treat (don't we all!) The only disadvantage to having it delivered to work is that I had to sit the whole day with it burning a hole in my desk... So now I'm home, the kettle is on and i'm going to sit down and have a jolly good read!


drool :)

oops...

Today I bought two pairs of shoes.


Now this isn't like me at all... I'm not really that into shoes. I can appreciated them from an aesthetic point to view, the colours and styles and shapes, my best friend buys what seems like a pair of trainers a week. But I can't walk in heels, and I've got wide feet so I can't fit into pointy or strappy or... well you get the idea. Back to school shoe shopping was always a trauma for both me and my mum... so that's why I think it's worth noting that today I purchased two pairs!


A lovely little black number in the sale (perfect for work, as although there is no dress code I think having holes in my toes is pushing it a little) And what do you think to my parrot wellies? Parrot wellies! Hurray!


Just in time for my little holiday in the country next week! (Yes I'm animal sitting again, lets hope they all behave themselves this time...)

hurray!

Much to my surprise, I sold one of my pictures! So off I went to the charity shop and bought some new books...


Five for £5!
