Yippee!

Been at work all day, and it wasn't too bad today, we had chocolate behind the till and they are now significantly down. I have also discovered Ebay... I love it! It combines my competitiveness with my love of shopping! Total heaven! and you can get some absolute bargains on there! I absolutely can't wait to verify my Paypal and such, and start selling on their and buying more stuff. For now my poor boyfriend is footing the bill, it's a good thing he loves me! 

I'm also working on a new project, I found a jacket pattern that I really love and so I'm going to find some pinstriped material, navy and white I think, and make it into a beautiful jacket hopefully! But I'm still trying to find some fabric for now, so it's a bit of a pain, I might wait till I'm next paid and go on a hunt, since my bank account is currently suffering a little....

I've also brought new shoes and a top, I think my mother might kill me!

I'm also going to start up my Etsy business again soon and am going to sell on E-bay as well, starting with all the jewellery that I don't want or wear I think, but mainly for little vintage pieces since I know a lovely antique shop in Ely where you can by some lovely jewellery and think it might be fun to get the train to their once a month, but I'll have to see for now.

Inspiration

I guess vaguely like this, but in Yellow,
different check and different chains. But you get the Vague idea.

I finally have my inspiration for my dress for my interview! and now I'm raring to go! I found this gorgeous yellow lumberjack type material with grey sort of check in with it, and so I've based my dress on that material and built up around it! It's going to be sort of a punk rock lumberjack! with lots of antique silver chains with little crosses and stuff on, with a glamorous edge as well! I've still got to draw it but it's all up there in my head for definite! I've been driving my mum mad with the idea, and I'm going to start on the beginning pages today after lesson!

I've just got to sort out the dress, and then I'm going to start on the shirt! I'm really quite excited for it! But I'll do a mock drawing of it today and post that so you can all give me a little bit of feed back on it! But as I keep saying, I'm really excited about it! Which is quite good as the other one I think would of been really difficult to actually do but this one does look a little easier to actually put in to practice. I'm also really looking forward to styling it as well! My friend, loves styling too, so I think between us we can get some amazing shots of it! 

I'm also almost done on my night course, last week next monday, and I'm getting really excited! I'm just doing a simple grey a-line skirt, but I think I've enough material to do it again, so I might make another once the course is finished and I might add some little jewels and stuff on to it and make it a little bit more glam! I'm really glad I took up the night course since I really do enjoy it, and I'm looking forward to enrolling in the next one! I've also seen some of the finished articles at the college for the Fashion Design course, and I'm actually not minding so much if I have to go and do a foundation year there or something, since the work they produced their is Uni quality or just below I think and the pictures etc. do look really good. 

Swimswim! and Shirley Craven...

Shirley Craven's work.

I've had a more productive day! I went swimming, and I posted the stuff that I needed to, for the most part. And I also managed to go to the art gallery which I needed to do, now I just need to colour in that thing for art and stick in my artist research... not to bad for a day when I feel ill! 

Now just to have a bath, so as to get rid of the smell of chlorine, which is sadly the only thing I can smell, not even my dinner ): 

Got lots of work to do tonight, so least I'll be kept nice and busy, which is what we like! Going to walk my new shoes in too after my bath, and then stuff them with some news paper to stretch them a little. I also need to make this stupid hat, that I've still not managed to make. I also forgot to go to the fabric store, to get some lace and red,blue and white pieces of fabric. Which is an awful pain.

They were showing some of Shirley Craven's work at the Fermoy art centre, since she's a hull based artist. She does some really cool patterns on materials, a little bit aboriginal/aztec sort of thing, but it's really cool. Quite glad I went in the end, and it's quite nice since it was free, which you often don't get any more which is a shame. But here's some of her work anyway. That's some of her work, I couldn't really find any others which was a shame, but I really like how some of them just seem to be colourful doodles, I thought it made a present change to pictures that are all painted and neat. xoxo
