procrastinating

FOr the past few days i have been procrastinating. Im about to remedy that today.. tonight at least anyhow. I will finish the invites or atleast get another 6 done.


So I am off to the beauty palour this afternoon then shopping at kmart. I have the heater on here due to it being rainy and cold.

will write more later alligato

in from the wild

I'm back. Have been since sunday just have not filled in my blog. Think i'll start from friday.. had a good time with the family at the pub up in the mountains.Noojie a place called the outpost retreat. Had cake and a lovely day out with the family.

So saturday rocks around and I went to the city, stopped off at the bead shop and got some lovely things to go onto louises invites. They are really pretty. So today (tuesday) I bought the rest of the paper for them today.. plus some ribbon.

Let me get back to saturday: I got to lucy and pauls house.. sat down and was asked if i would like a cup of tea...sat down and as was putting it to my lips they showered me with balloons and a birthday cake. It was so lovely... they bought a singing candle and sang to me..

Later played scrabble. Paul won. (grumbles)by over 100points.. his seven letter word was bananas! Oh man. Anyhow, In the evening we went to this place called Red Rice on brunswick street. Met up with Kylie too. Had a long evening, just chatting. Then went home had a lovely cup of tea then off to bed. I woke up at 9:30 which is unusual for me to sleep in so late.

I woke up to a beautiful bowl of porridge honey and pear... yum. I forgot how much i like it. I will have to cook the cinnamon and apple one we have at home. I think as a mid morning tea. Time came around and off I head into the city to meet up with Shiralee...went to the dumpling place for lunch. Walked around the city and stopped off at this chocolate shop that is hidden but popular.

now after that i headed home... so lets see now... i will write more tomorrow


love albell

birthday

Turned 30 today! Milestone and a half. Had a really yummy lunch out with the family. I was as quiet as a mouse. Well I will write more later

trucking along

Its almost 2 here.. and ive been trucking along with the invites... ive cut out the bits of felt so they are ready to be assembled with the ribbons and pearls etc. I have made loads of cards for the market with off cuts of materials from the invites. With some beautiful little embelishments. Man i have not used a ruler so much in ages. Im constantly ruling and measuring. Its all part of the deal i guess. I have a whopping sum of 2 cards perfect now. I never thought I would be so fussy... but they are wedding invites.

Im going to get mum to help me! Bugger it!She can. Or else i will have non for louise when she comes home tomorrow. Well think i need a coffee im a little low so hit me up with some caffine.


ciao for now.

Cardaholic.

I have been busy making all these cards to sell at the market. as well as working on invites for louise. It really is a labour of love for me. I like doing them almost zen like mode i go into.

I made some pretty lush cards.. i found some beautiful ribbon today. So i bought a couple of meters from the shop. I am in enjoying this new endevour. Having fun with colours etc. I am going to sell them at $2-$3.

Well i better get going now. I will be working my ass off to get some invites done for lou. Its really fiddly. I need some more cardboard so it means a trip to Yarragon.
I have to be careful of the time table tough... if i miss one train ill be stuck there for 3 hours and ill probably go broke..i spent so much money on materials.

nighty night.

hello

Hello. Went chasing butterflies..well jewelery ones anyhow.. didnt find any in the shops... man talk about checking every where. It looks like they are out of this seasons fashion. Unless i find some at the opshop or something. Got a few variations from spotlight. Sheesh I have been there three days in a row. Its the equivalent of bunnings for women. You could stay there for hours getting many ideas. Just have to stop somewhere, put the breaks on.

So Im making invites and I am making cards to sell at the market too. Just $2 a pop i think, til i get better and better at them. I am using the things thats Mish has sent me. I am going to use her tags as price ones for my art. Yes so its back to trying to sell my wares on Saturday with dad.

So its the right time to save money. Its the wrong time to go spending it! Like i have done over the past few days. OOOOpssYY DddAisyy. O well. You get that sometimes ha? Yes you do...I want to start increasing my savings.. though little i get its enough. I hope to sell some of my books too. They were all new. If i cant sell them., i shall donate them to the library.

Although with the internet the library is still a place i like to go to. I forget that i have access to all the info i need on the net and race to the library. TThough there is nothing like a book to read.

So what now then? Well its back to the drawing board for me.

take care out there.
