Snoooow

Look at the pretty snow :) this is my back garden on the day college closed for snow at about 11 and the snow is still falling heavy... if only there was time to go sledging :(

Blackpool

I have just been to Blackpool for the IDST national finals :) it was lots of fun and i wish the event was more than once a year! I got into both finals whoooo and placed 4th and 5th. However it has taken up 3 days of my uni work which is never a good thing with a deadline!

Mr Bingo

I had a little chat with Mr Bingo last week, it was really nice to show an illustrator my work and get some feedback on it, he really liked some of my patterns which is some really positive feedback for me an helps me feel much more positive about my work.

Screen Printing

I had a big screen printing sesh today up the road not my usual choice! what is with all the crazy stuff they make you wear! its only screen wash! oh my days.

Gingerbread house

I went to Ikea to day and made a very exciting purchase! a make your own ginger bread house and even better its brad name is 'ANNA' whaaaay. Im going to make it closer to christmas so I shall post a picture when I have very exciting times :)

Buns :)

Lovely Buns :) I had a bun making session today with my boyfriend, for one of my self written briefs i am making a baking set for children and I wanted to experiment with some photographs for collaging, here is a yummy picture of the collection. I have to say they were the best i have ever attempted!

Manchester

Me and my mum went to manchester today a last day out before 3rd year begins! I took her to Wagamamas for lunch it was very nice and we made lots of mess it was my first experience with chop sticks ha!

Drive in Movie

I went to a drive in movie last night at Harewood house i wasn't expecting much but it had a really good atmosphere everyone was beeping there horns and flashing their lights at the special bits, i would definitely go again! Its a terrible photo but thats thanks to a terrible camera and the fact it was pitch black, but you can kind of see :)

Chester Zoo

Today i went to the Zoo it was so much fun and its given me lots of ideas for a brief id quite like to do on endangered animals, there were so many fun facts that i never even new! me and my friends took a special interest in seeing how long the animals were pregnant ha! I think im definitely going to have to go back and find all these facts again possibly use in my brief.

Whitby

I was ment to be going to Italy for 2 weeks but that didn't happen instead im stuck with typical English weather of RAIN never mind iv been upto quite alot this week, lots of days out with my mum and my sister sarah joined us for a few. We went to Whitby with my dog and got completely drenched walking into Robin hoods bay what a mistake! I love Whitby we used to have a static caravan when i was younger so i feel its my second home, id love to do a brief based around it but im not sure how id get around this with my style of work.

Lanzarote

I have just returned from holidays :) what an event everything well almost everything that could go wrong went wrong typical! firstly i missed my flight going so i have to miss a day and spend £170 getting a new flight then it was cloudy on the first day so stupid me thought just applying a bit of factor 6 would be fine! FAIL i burnt in massive red patches terrible! so i have been left with purple areas across my body which wont stop peeling damn my ginger skin. It was good to get away though and it was good to be in a country where they kept winning the world cup games!
