December so far

Untitled

I started the month making a zine from last months drawings as I have done for quite a while now. Only one more time though, then I'm done with that project ^_^ I also won some x-files magazines on ebay (I'm going to make badges out of them) and drew a lot of Scullys and Mulders in my sketchbook.

Mum and Dad came to visit and I had my first ever green tea latte, I approve, it's a good time and we went out to see the Christmas lights.

My Grandad died earlier this year and we'd lost my Nan a couple of years before so it was time for my mum and her sisters to sell the house which meant no more apples from their apple trees. I remember every year nan would sit and peel, chop and freeze bags of apples for everyone and we'd make crumbles and cakes from them. We also used to hook the hose pipe in the trees and run around under it in the summer. Mum took some apples from the garden one last time and I asked her to freeze me a slice of the cake so I could have my last apples too.

Will met a dinosaur and I got myself some pink eyeliner. A successful day.

I got these shirts finished at last but haven't been able to take any good photos of them yet so they aren't in my shop which is super annoying. Winter is difficult. (and so is photography)

Beautiful Pixel. He's doing much better now than he was and he's put on a lot of weight too ^_^

Our decorations finally went up on Monday, exactly a week before christmas. I don't like them to be up for too long before hand because they just start to blend in and I don't really see them and feel like it's fancy and special anymore but if we'd left it any later you don't feel like it's christmas yet and kind of miss the whole thing. Luckily Will found time to shimmy up into the loft before we became complete Scrooges.

When mum and dad were here they bought us a poinsettia which I love, they're so pretty and having plants around is a good thing, but I don't know how to stop it from dropping leaves and I hope it isn't bald before the end of the year.

I hope you're feeling less neglected now blog, I have 5 more vlogmas days to do and then I'm sure everything will level out again. The appeal of doing vlogmas is so weird, it's not like it gets me anything except less time...and videos to watch in a few years to remember what I was like now. Oh how I love to document my life (* ^ ω ^)

Doing vlogmas

Hello blog. I have been neglecting you because I've been having a go at vlogmas and there are only so many things I can edit and update in a day :)
I still have a weird relationship with making videos. I don't think they're very interesting and the idea of people looking at them makes me cringe and yet I keep making them and sharing them. I can't explain it but it is what it is.

Here are a few of my vlogmas videos so far. I'm managing it everyday so if you like you can go to my youtube and see the others, hopefully there will be 8 more before christmas too. That actually sounds like a lot of videos still to make, how am I managing this?!
