Since I left Uni I have done this!!......
My mum is launching her new 'wedding coach' business. Pretty awesome idea actually, I really need to get around to telling all the frazzled people I know who are heading for the sea of matrimony! lol
Her website is under construction atm but i think her twitter is up and running @FeelGdWeddings. (Don't quote me on that though!)
I have also been working on my sisters birthday presents.
Like most graduates. (S*** I'm a graduate...... just hit me finally wow) I am skint. But my beloved sister's birthday is looming! What to do??
I went down the hippy 'make everything bar the lady gaga album' route. First I made her, her v own stuffed owl. Have you noticed owls are all the rage? Especially stuffed ones or ones dangling off ears and they seem to be adored by the teeny bopper in particular. My sister is no exception. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture and it's wrapped so.... sorry. But yeah I did that. I reckon she'll like it.
I also made my own wrapping paper from brown parcel paper (V cheap if you know where to look) aaand potato stampers! Remember those happy nursery days making pretty pictures with the good old potato? Yeah well go back and try it now, it's weirdly therapeutic and you feel all smug and amazing thinking how much money you saved on wrapping paper, You'll like it so much you'll get hooked and spend the next 3 days making wrapping paper whenever possible! Honestly you will. It's the lazy persons answer to penny pinching/creativity/stress busting. DO ITT!
I then went on to make a gift bag out of the Lush times courtesy of some clever blog found on stumble upon. Looks pretty pretty pretty good. (...Curb has become a tad addictive since graduating.)
(had to edited out all the turquoise coz you just could not see for all the weird turquoisy light for whatever reason. That cushion is bright aqua marine.... kinda prefer the grey though now!)
Other than that not much has been going down in the art department. I've been job hunting. Had an interview on Friday but alas didn't get any where. Did get a volunteer opportunity though.
Soooo I'll move onto Ajax.
Ajax is as abrasive as the cleaning product and crazy fearless as the Warriors character.
He is also......
JAFFA CAKE ORANGE!!!
(well the middle bit of the jaffa... yeah whatever you get it.)
He is a very handsome boy from a rather impressive parentage. His mum is second generation sandfire ranch and his daddy (who he takes most after physically) is fire and ice super tangerine x blood red.
He is the sweetest little dragon ever but he WILL attempt spider man acrobatic feats at the expense of your eyes, skin.... cat.
He was my Valentines day present after Ernie, my partner and I's first beardie, sadly died. (Don't think I'll ever stop missing old Ern) and so AJ is spoiled rotten!!....
He even sometimes sleeps on the chair next to us at night! (this was taken night before last and he's in shed atm so he's not his usual gingery self! lol)
Everyone adores AJ. Even my nan with a reptile phobia has been partially cured by the handsome charming good natured little guy! There is just something about him, maybe it's hand reared hatchling beardies everywhere, Ernie was equally as charming, but AJ... everyone falls in his presence.
He is also my art coach. He LOVES using my art folders as slides and my pens as hurdles! At first it was distracting but now it's oddly inspiring. It's like his energy rubs off! lol
Ajax is AWESOME!
