Where Better To Wait For It All To Blow Over

Today was possibly the most windy day of the year. It was so quiet at the cafe I got sent home early. And since I was expected ho early I took the opportunity to take shelter in Hobby Craft. If spent money whilst I was there it was only to be expected...I was in a store Geez! lol!

I bought threading wire to make wrap bracelets with. I made one last night with regular thread, but it didn't hold up, so hopefully threading wire will do the trick.

I also pick up some fabric paints and looked at the Batik supplies (which I'll pick up on my next visit).

Why the sudden craftiness? I hear you cry. I want certain piece for my wardrobe which either aren't available to me or simply don't exist. So I figure why not make it myself?


The wind was seriously crazy, I wish I had my camera to document the mess on my way home. Trees were brutalised folks! The earth swirled in the air. I know this because my face was speckled with it by the time I got home. Hooray for the shower, now I am clean again. But my street is still strewn with crap and topple over wheelie bins (which were full btw, just to emphasise the might of wind).


Hopefully tomorrow will be less windy, maybe even a bit warm or sunny.

No let's not get our hopes up.

Shopping and Other Stories

Hello my Lovelies.
Sorry for my brief hiatus. I was a tad busy.
Firstly, one of my cats (Dr Pepper) has been ill of late. It was just before New Year he started throwing up. Then he threw up a ball of mangled plastic, which turned out to be tinsel from the Christmas tree. We thought he'd be fine after that, but he kept being randomly sick. Anything he ate he couldn't keep down, then he just wouldn't eat or drink. We watched him for a day and tried to persuade him to eat and drink but DP was having none of it. The worrying thing was that he was visible getting thinner.
We took him the vet this morning, they told us he was on the cusp of dehydration, but his sickness wasn't viral or due to any underlying problems. He had also lost 2kg. DP was given a shot of medicine to settle his stomach, and we were given tablets to give him to night and in the morning. He's perking up slowly, but he still has to go back to the vet tomorrow for a check up.
Other than that I have been enjoying my holidays. I went shopping on Monday and was held hostage by the girl at the Benefit counter ( I say that like it's a bad thing), it was fun. She introduced me to bunch of products I would have never considered before and taught me a few tricks. I ended up only buying Posetint and some Boi-ing consealer, but I have a list of things I want to get next time. I'm in love with the Pore-fessional, it let my skin looking amazing.
I ordered a bunch of things from Mac's new collections and from ACW. I'm trying to get shopping out of my system before I start my new project.
More of that in another post.
Love and Bugs
