Welcome back...

I could not be more excited about the comeback of Miss Britney Spears. I think she is incredible. And the fact that she has been able to come back from such a breakdown shows her strength and determination. She's going to be on X Factor this weekend and I know she's going to be AMAZING! Her documentary is on Sky One on Monday and will open a door into her world. I do not think it will all be pretty but it will be honest. She looks beautiful on this Rolling Stone cover. She is the pop star of this generation and I think she is simply Fabulous. Go Britney!!

Creative juices...

So I went out for dinner last night with some fellow jewellers and it got me thinking how lazy I've become. I haven't made any jewellery for so long. Of course there is always excuses...no time...no money...no tools. But seriously what am I doing! I learnt these amazing skills and now I don't use them. Yeah i need money so I do a proper job but i should have never st oped creating. I love it. I love everything about it. I love having a sketchbook brimming with ideas. I love realising I can make what I'm trying to draw in wire. I love the freedom I have that i can create whimsical pieces.

I think I got bitter when I finished university. I got a good mark but was so close to a better one and all I could think was what if? What it I wasn't ill what could I have achieved...

My work developed over such a dark period of my life. My sadness pours out of. But its a testament to that time and my strength and determination.


Now I no longer just see darkness, now I can see the world again. I see a lot of possibilities.

So its about time I started achieving...

OMG!!

...Brandon is back!

The most exciting Christmas advert yet...

OH MY GOD! Its perfection!

Once upon a time...

There was a girl who fell in love
She fell deeply
She fell hard
She fell fast

She got burnt
and it hurt

Hurt took over the love

She grew angry
She grew bitter
She grew numb

Time passed

She doesn't recognise that girl anymore
The young girl who gave away her heart

But there is a new girl now

A strong girl
A brave girl

A girl who is starting to open up again

No longer numb
She can smile
She can laugh
And she can remember the good times

She has come a long way

Lace and pearls...

So I've had such a busy time of late. My friend from Wales came to stay and then my parents where here which means I have had no free time. Today though and from now on I have loads of it as i no longer have a job. I want to use my time wisely and make things and create. I want to try and earn some money. But I know I will like today waste my time on the Internet and drinking coffee...

Things not to do in my unemployment phase

Go for coffee - I cannot afford to waste the money on yummy lattes.
Use the tube - see above without the yummy.
Buy magazines pretending they are for research - although saving money I could go to Borders and read them all for free but it would be rude not to buy a coffee.
Spend hours on Facebook - self explanatory.
Read old emails - You will find one from an ex and yes, they still cut into all the old wounds.
Make play lists to work to - this results in hours looking for songs and then downloading to create the perfect mix.
Plan my birthday - It's in April no need!

Things to actually do

Cycle everywhere
Draw and Create
Make a new range of jewellery
Make all my Christmas presents and cards
Go to free exhibitions for inspiration
and last but not least try and get a part time job

Had the..

Most fun on Halloween though i think dressing up was the best bit!!


It did make me realise how much i love my friends though and my new housemates!! Mixing groups is always tricky but it went so well! LOVE it!
