Sorry i've not written for a while but i have had rather a hectic week. People off sick at work - muggins here gets lumbered with extra shifts, and then the looming Graphics deadline (8th February, TOMORROW). Yeah, well Asda has basically messed that up. I spend too much time there and not enough time on my college work, fact. But i just cant seem to find a balance between the two! Stressed to say the least. On a lighter note, i've just returned from the hospital with Guy (the current "piece") snapped/torn/nackered the ligaments around his right ankle playing Rugby, now sporting ever such a nice pair of crutches, well done to him! What a nightmare. Had a good day today though, just getting a tidgy bit stressed and tired now, ready for summer and a break from all this hassle!
I bought this little piece of wall art from Next on Wednesday, shopping on a well deserved break i'd say! I thought it was rather cute. Its a weird sort of cream colour, suppose to look "worn" and "old" with bits of paint thinner than others, but i cant decide whether i need to paint it or not. i thought the "worn look" gave it kind of a vintage look? But i cant hang it on my wall as its painted cream, it will blend in too much. So yes, it needs a home.. Anyway, deadline day tomorrow. Lovely, not. Time for bed i think, i could do with some beauty sleep!
Well, this is Miriam, in the normal state of elephantness :) I put a tea light inside her and sat her back on my window, the lights were on when i took this one above though.
This one is with the lights out, she looks much better with a candle in and the lights out. I am rather chuffed with the outcome :) She was a grotty terracotta colour before, i found her in the bargain bucket at Wilko's for 50p and she looked like she needed some love - so love i gave her! Painted her, newspapered her and jewlled her, now she looks everso lovely and like she actually belongs to someone! Welcome to the family Miriam :)
