Just some photos I took yesterday in the garden, when the sky wasn’t grey.. shocking I know! Anyway… i’m painting! It’s pop art inspired.. I had to do it for an exam piece, and I was in the mood to finish it. If you want a small acrylic painting on canvas of a lemon cheese cake type thing.. Let me know! It won’t be expensive, I promise I might put it on ebay.. here it is (im still painting it.. the background and plate needs working on);

Cold

I just really had to post this song. I know loads of people know it already, but I seriously can’t get enough of it.

Moving on. It’s so cold here. The clocks have gone back. I feel tired all the time. It’s pure weather depression.. I hate it! It’s bleak, boring, and i even hate the way it smells. Most people love this time of year. Of course I enjoy halloween! its a holiday! (and i secretly enjoy reading about the roots of halloween on google).. But it just feels like the year is going nowhere. Like we are just stuck. At least when its december its the end of the year, and that theres a new year around the corner.. hmm. I want to drawwww now bye xx

Feeling better.

Grumps is back! Hahaha XD Today went well.. better than I imagined. My mum came with me woop. I have two interviews in the next two weeks about doing a course in childcare, and doing a course in art. Whichever one I choose I still want to do art. I think if I did an art course they would only want people to draw realisticly. I am a strong believer that art should be feelings and how we percieve something. We have cameras to catch reality.. People should be respected for that. I went for brunch with my mum afterwards and I then met up with a friend.. It all went really well blah blah blah. Now, i have the interviews to dread. My family are dead supportive blah blah, so hopefully they’ll come with I’m going to make some videos soon for youtube of Lanzarote, and here at home.. I’m collecting all my videos up and will make one big one and probably post it at the start of next month. STILL no jobs, and figures publish today say we are still going down into the recession and that it hasn’t improved. Ugh! Oh well.. things have to get worse to get better.. Sorry about all my boring rants and no pictures. I’m sure the posts about caravans and inspiration will resurface soon

More more more ramblings!

So connexions finally called me, and i have to go in tomorrow. I know I should look forawrd to it because I might come out of there with a job/course or whatever to apply to, but i’m dreading it. I can’t stand these kinds of things, and they’re even worse when i have to go out of my way to go to one. I really really really don’t want to go. I’m so negative about it when I should be positive. I want a job so I can have some moneys Not to spend on crap and going out on saturday nights like most girls my age do.. but to spend on a home course, an alevel, or just a class for art or photography. I’m highly considering the suzi blu ‘goddess and the poet’ class, but like I said, I don’t have the funds! My dream would be to be an artist/photographer or to be able to make what I enjoy making and to be able to sell it to other people. Sounds crazy right now doesnt it? ha… I want to meet some other online artists to talk to etc. It all seems to be a bit bitchy at the moment right now. People stealing other peoples work, people copying, people giving harsh critisms they weren’t asked to give, so you can kind of see how it is from the outside view. Bugger it. My mum always says ‘don’t panic katie, you aren’t going to turn into a pumpkin overnight’. She is so right (per usual.). I should just go to this thing tomorrow, if i dont like it, dont go back.. I need to be optimistic! Dreams don’t come true by themselves, we have to work for what we want, and if thats so.. i’d better get working! xoxo

(A drawing I did at the start on september.. I have a block at the moment (ughhhhh), so I thought i’d post this one :/)

Ramblings of a Katie.

Guten tag wordpress. Its a wednesday morning.. im searching job websites on my mums webbook and there is nothing! They only want people who are teachers, nurses, blah blah blah… Everyone is saying why don’t i ust wait and go to college next year? i cant deal with the people, hence the fact i didnt want t go first time round.. i went to interviews, a ‘taster day’, and i hated it! we shouldnt waste our lives doing what we won’t enjoy.. Or maybe its just me who thinks so… Maybe i should keep on with the etsy shop, i feel like ive neglected it… poor poor shop. I should write a list of the things i can make.. choose a few and put them on etsy. Would you buy some *bats eyelashes*.. hahah joking. Sorry about the needless ramblings.. the weathers got me down and there are no jobs going (id probably hate my job even if i had one XD).. and on a nicer note i will leave you with a cute picture of rocky and ruby. Rocky is our little blenhiem (white and brown), and ruby is the ruby in the front (Shes my mums friends dog, we’re looking after her). Theyve been sleeping on my legs all morning.. theyre heavy D;

Worst blogger award.

I would like to award my self with the worst blogger award.. i never blog. I should blog more. I will have lots of videos, photos, paintings and whatever else up here soon. I promise. I’ve just got back from Lanzarote, where I have been for two weeks and I am so tanned.. I can’t even begin to tell you about the temperature difference, but England isn’t really known for good weather.

Knitting Time!

The etsy store is up with our first item! Princess mittens Take a look! These were knitted by my Mum, and we’ll be putting more items up soon! We go away to lanzarote on the first of october to the 15th so if we don’t sell before then the items will go down for two weeks, but then back up.. Expect more mittens, hats, scarfs, blankets, bags, and maybe clothes and accessories too! We hope to do commisions one day too

Etsy

strawberryk — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:02:24 +0000

So, me and my mum are opening an etsy store! We are gonna sell knitwear, baby clothes, and toys that we make and possibly other things too.. I’m supposed to be setting it up this morning.. but I can’t think of a name! All the ones we think of are already taken T_T! I’m going to try and focus and put alot of work into this shop because thanks to the recession there are NO jobs needed in my area, i’m not even exaggerating.
Anywhom, Help me think of a name! The first things to be posted in the store are two pairs of baby mittens. One knitted with multicoloured wool, one pair are white with knitted little pink roses on the bottom.. So if you know anyone who’s expecting, get on our etsy store! (That is of course after I’ve named it) ¬_¬

Au Revoir,
Kt x

I got a dianaF+ camera for my birthday, and we sent my film off last week to be processed.. And my photos have arrived today! Some of them are amazing, well I think so anyway. I’m getting quite into this reverse technology lark, but don’t get me wrong i still love my digital camera.. In the great words of willy wonka ‘you gotta go forward to go back’ Anyway, enough of my retarded rambling.. onto the pictures;
