my holiday projects

it's good to have somehing to keep your hands moving this holidays and not to sit back and eat or tap away at the computer which evidently is what i am doing now. but not for long, because i have a couple of holiday projects! and i am simply calling them that because it has a certain je ne sais quoi about it, but really i'm not aiming to finish it this holidays, because i am slow at almost everything, but hey whatever

i am in the midst of a prety lame scarf i admit, but i'm sort of proud of it in a weird way. so if you see me wearing a black holey scarf; yeah that's right i made it.

okay so after lunch i am headed off to buy some essentials for my room, namely 3M tape and some hooks. i'm putting up some posters and rearranging my walls because i believe it is time for CHANGE. sometime i will also try and get the pretty gross yellow off my mirror which i painted last year when i was a little strange. if all goes well it should return to it's former lovely gold (why would i paint over that?!) but if things go against me, i will paint it black as some people have requested uless someone comes up with a better idea. i'm also putting up some posters which a lovely lady from camberwell market gave me to hide some of the bare white wall.

i also got given a MASSIVE bag of wool which i've decided i'm going to make into a throw/quilt of some sort because this hideous bag must go, because really all it's doing is acquiring dust from underneath my bed. mmm and i swear every cupboard i open seems to have some scrappy piece of fabric, which i can probably sew together into a quilt as well. i just need to find a backing piece of fabric and some batting (maybe flannel to remind me of marshymead :)). although i cannot get started on this because i can't find my blooming foot pedal for my sewing machine, but i WILL find it today. i've got to also change my curtains because the backing is all ripped and the front one is a bit plain. i'll get them from ikea and maybe get a mini laptop table thing, but i guess i shouldn't need it, eh?

so anyway this week is going by really slowly for me, since i don't have much to do (apart from my projects of course!). monday was almost unbearable, i felt as if i was going crazy. yesterday was better i'm not quite sure why, maybe i'm gradually getting used to solitude. but i also just sat on my balcony for a bit and closed my eyes. i wasn't sleeping cos, well, who can sleep sitting down? but i was just sort of being there. i was pretty relaxed but there was something nagging me at the back of my mind which i couldnt quite place my finger upon. but this morning i remembered. my maths homework. aggggggggggggggg

sorry that was a long blog, not that anyone would be reading but bear with me. hmm i see what is addictive about this. just rambling on to yourself. huh. maybe i AM going crazy.
