I am currently sporting a new fabulous haircut, inspired by the very talented Leisha Hailey…its tre funky and very shot, but so cute and sweet…I could be mistaken for being vain at the moment…
Short hair, with the exception of the bob, has always suited me more then long hair. And yet, at any time of the year, no matter what age I am, 9 times out of 10, when you meet me, I will have long

I have just watched one of the most adorable puppet childrens programs- called the HERBS…its from 1968 and is British made…absolutely loved it. Beautifully made…and the characters…especially sage (the owl) and parsley (the lovely lion) are gorgeous!

Also just enjoying the supurbe sigur ros albums Queen Jane lent me yesterday…Hoppipolla is without a doubt one of my most favorite songs of all time…love it to distraction

Painting in my room and getting it done…its looking good. Dad occasionally wanders in to check on the progress…which is really sweet.
Our 2 year old trees at the back of the house look as if they are about to snap in the wind…very wintery outside…such a bummer…I was planning on painting outside in the sun…
Its so dark outside that I have to have my bedroom light on…
Some summer this is turning out to be…

I’m sure it will get better again…fingers crossed!
Waiting for ink to dry is as nice as painting with it…I love the stuff…can’t get enuf of it…the painting is really starting to pull together now…next to block out the spaces for the faces, and then the faces themselves. I hope sheets will like it…I’m sure he will…hes been waiting for it for ages now…

Summer

i am becoming disillusioned with the weather in that, i cant relax or unwind or feel rested when it behaving like its winter outside...its unacceptable and i am very unhappy with it...!
where was this unseasonal weather the last few weeks i was in college?
it was in the Arctic, or Australia or where ever winter is this time of year...
while i was stitching away at sally and Reilly2, what was it doing outside? it was splitting the stones in half and then some...
and now when i can be outside and enjoy myself, what greets me every morning...
rain
gale force winds
and daddy's poor trees bending over from the onslaught...

i am getting my hair all chopped off tomorro...really looking forward to that...its nearly a tradition at this stage, i almost always get my hair cut once the summer arrives, well i did in the states because it was too hot for long hair in the summer, and come winter, it will have grown back a good bit for the cold weather. so im getting it sitting on my sholders, very layered and hopefully she will stlye it for me a little
the boy goes to her, so she must be good...i hope she is and i dont come home crying, which is what happens every time i get my hair cut here...it always ends in tears.

the weather was beautiful tonight
i hope its nice tomorro, i really do think a sun dance is in order!

i am very quickly loseing my patience with this computer...

i have stupidly neglected my obligation and duty to check my mailbox for quite some time due to work and college...thinking that it would only take a matter of minutes at some time during the summer to clear out the cob webs...
how wrong was i !
i have been deleating messages for the last 2 hours...when i delete, more come through...
it has been between 690 and 700 messages for some time now, and it has just gone up to 1000! gripping stuff i know. im getting to the point where i just want to erase my email account and start a new one...but i cant bring myself to it...
it would be like getting a new mobile number...i would have to email my new address to everyone i knew and change my details on every blog/journal/website thingy i have...

so i am determined to clear it out tonight...even if i dont sleep at all.


on a better and more positive note, these are some pictures on my enchanted animals for my finished piece this year (2nd year). im going to pick them up from school on thursday, i miss them!




















luna the basket owl...she is just so squishable and green...a real character with her funny spindley feet!












and a whimsicle looking sally, without eyes or whiskers or anything really...just stuffed...!



i loved her at this stage because she was so very vulnerable, and i could imagine her looking a million different ways, and she wasnt any of them, which i loved :)












a finished sally and luna!

their sitting most likely on the floor in this one-im not one for studio shots!!!
