The last few weeks have been quite challenging and I feel like I’ve struggled to hold things together completely – This is apparently no bad thing when it comes to arty farty stuff though! Designing and making things are both excellent ways to procrastinate and distract and I’ve just made myself some shiny new jewellery, all for me :)

I thought it’d be nice to have a constant reminder of things that make everything lovely and wonderful for me so I made this necklace, stuffed with representations of a few of those things that make me very happy.

and carrying on with the circus and performer theme, I made a couple of brooch pins with some costumed people
*heart*

Some randomness:

1. Joan Jett beats the Sex Pistols at ‘Pretty Vacant’
2. I love Edward Cullen and Bella Swan (and Stephenie Myer for making them up)
3. I’m allergic to Kiwi, never send me Kiwi
4. I can play the violin (or at least I used to, quite well)
5. I desperately want a cat/kitten and it shall be Sebastian, Edward or Vincent

. . . . .

Finally…a post all about me me me wouldn’t really be complete without a picture and I have the most PERFECT one ever…I stumbled across this one a few weeks ago, I’d forgotten all about it and I’m sure I don’t actually remember much about it being taken – there was a hanami celebration earlier in the day with some sake and then some civilised consumption of cider at another picnic in the park…and then this photo happened:

Those are not my sunglasses and that is not my jacket…kinda wish they were though.
