4

I always sit with my feet like that, I don't know why and I imagine it's really bad for my ankles but it's comfy.

Happy Birthday Blog!

This blog is 4 years old today. I don't have anything thoughtful or reflective to say about it. I'm just pleased it exists. I've always liked blogging and I really like looking back through old posts and hopefully every now and then I post something that someone else likes looking at too.

I just got a little distracted looking through old posts and noticed that for some reason 4 years ago I didn't use capital letters. How annoying is that? Also 4 years ago I was getting ready to finish uni. I can't believe it was 4 years ago. So weird.

Week 12

Day 79 - My new favourite mug. Will went to visit his nan and grandad and came back with this mug that he was given when he was little with an easter egg in it. There's another elephant on the other side. I love it so much.



Day 81 -  Also week 12 of 52 weeks which I have been being rubbish at but have just about managed so far. I need hair dye. Unfortunately there are more important things to spend money on at the moment *sad face*



Day 82 - Candles during Earth Hour.



Day 83 - A little bit of our kitchen. I really wish we had tiles that weren't these ones.



Day 84 - Sitting at the computer in Will's studio on photoshop and listing items in the shops. That's the top of Will's list, mine is here if you're interested.

About

I finally made an about page. Took me long enough.

I also set up a blog just for illustration if that's what you'd prefer. Have a look here. There's not much there yet but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Now I have a few more online things I've been meaning to sort out for a while to sort out and then I think I'll have a mooch about the internet checking out some stuff I've been meaning to look at forever.

Hope you're having a good weekend :)

Illustration ~ We Don't Even Have A Cat

We constantly have cats trying to get in our house. There are two main culprits one of them featured here. He so almost got smushed in the door, I had no idea he was anywhere near and as soon as I noticed something had run past me he was already sitting in the next room cleaning himself as though he'd been sitting there the whole time.

Then he attacked some balloons that were on the floor before Will grabbed him (reluctantly, Will has fallen in love with this cat, it has the most beautiful blue eyes and once got in through a window and went to hang out with Will in bed while I was out, sneaky little git).

I wish I wasn't allergic or I'd just let them hang out but once the itchy eyes start it's not so fun anymore.

Recent Makes ~ The Week Before The Market Zine

I'd had a hankering to make a new zine for a while and decided that a little zine about the week before the market would be a nice thing to have at the market. It turned out pretty good (if I do say so myself) so I've listed it on Etsy and Folksy. It comes with a free sticker. Yay, free stuff!
I should make zines more often, it's really fun. This one is made from just a single sheet of A4 folded in a clever way to make a little 8 page booklet (including front and back). One of the few skills I actually learnt at uni and it amazes me every time.

Week 11

Day 71



Day 72 - Working on a little zine about the week before the market.



Day 73 - Lots of piles of things for the market.



Day 75 - Will's brushes.



Day 76 - The day after the market, unpacked everything then couldn't be bothered to put it away...

The Makers Emporium Does Easter

Even though it didn't turn out all that great sales wise the market looked good so here are some photos.

I'm still a little fed up so I don't really have anything else to say about it but hopefully I'll get some new things listed online during this week. I have quite a bit of work to do but I might just go play Skyrim for the rest of the afternoon...

Week 9 and 10

Day 57 - I wish my hair actually looked that red.



Day 58 - More yokai. Is more than one yokai still yokai like sheep? Who knows.



Day 59 - Good old lightbulb photos.


Day 65 - We were fooled into thinking that spring had finally arrived.



Day 67 - Coasters



Day 70 - It snowed again.

Riverside Walk

Over this weekend mum and dad came to visit, on the Saturday we took a walk along the river. Finding the kids with the massive pike was amazing, I had no idea there were fish that size in the river and they were kind enough to let us take photos. (After weighing it they put it put it back. 13 pounds!) We circled back round to the cathedral and mum and dad had tea and I had extra dark hot chocolate. So good.

It was a pretty awesome weekend, just hanging out. Good to finally see them this year. Now back to work. My to do list is ever growing and on top of that, the market is all of a sudden less than 2 weeks away. eep.

Week 8

Day 50 - This is what Will actually looks like.



Day 53 - Still working on various amigurumi yokai dudes.



Day 56 - A paintbrush holder.

I am managing this 365 home project so far but I'm pretty much still always leaving it till the last minute at the end of the day and getting not very interesting poorly lit photos. Must try harder.

Week 7

Day 44 - Will painting.



Day 46 - Our poinsettia from Christmas only has a few leaves left but I just can't throw it out.



Day 49 - Some tree spirits.
