hello mr spock

ah crazy crazy times! not long left in Nottingham, and i am going home, back to my little home town. my show is finally over, and we had to take down all the work. :( if you have not, and wanted to see my degree show website, with all of my fellow student's work, check out http://www.fineart09.com/

while i have been doing random things all week, i have watched milk. i cried in the cinema when i first watched it. i love it so much. i have also been watching yes man and forgetting Sarah Marshall.my lovely friend Grainne came to stay with me, and we went out for tea with our lovely friend Kay. it was beautiful, we had the coolest cakes. at the moment i am packing up my room...and its very sad. i am scared about taking down my photos, pictures and memories :( i really don't want to leave my cute little flat.
today i got a lovely surprise!! i got post from the beautiful Lina! my lovely friend. lots of cute bits and bobs! :) she has got me into artist trading cards

looking through boxes and boxes

lots and lots of cups of tea. tea in very old random cups. odd plates, and pretty patterns. i have always wanted to live back in the 60's and as soon as i walked through the tea room, i felt it.

also i went to the cattle market and found some wonderful items! the thing is with the cattle market, you kinda just have to look through lots and lots of random boxes full of different things, its all about the rummaging!!! :D i wanted to look for different objects to help me with my work, and i found some crackers. i found a small folder of a few birth certificates, and a couple of really old photos. i found an amazing telephone, which DOES WORK. i love it so much, and want it in my house forever! :) and other really odd bits and pieces.

as well as going to the cattle market. i went to an old bookshop that i had visited a couple of years ago. the smell is amazing. there is nothing better than the smell of piles and piles of old books. the books are stacked wall to wall, book to book. i found a few books about birds and other animals to help me with my uni work. i look forward to reading them!

hello..my name is

thank you all very much for your lovely lovely lovely comments!! they made me smile, and i need smiles at the moment. on Tuesday we had a cute bake sale to raise money for our degree show fund. decorating cakes is so much fun.

i went out with a couple of my friends to my friends photography fund raising party. and it was such a laugh! and it was held in the most random pub ever!! it was way out of town, and i felt like i had gone back in time. the pub was so cute and old. there was one room in the pub that was near the back, and it was so odd!! i had to take some photos! you can see for yourself.

also at the party, there was this amazing machine. a guy was going around taking photos of people and then they can print the photo straight away into a beer bottle label, how cool is that!?!?!? i need to stick mine on my free bottle of beer soo, but i just wanted to show you the sticker.i always seem to come back with random things in my bag from a night out...i was very surprised to see i had been given this award by two amazing bloggers; rosie posie rosie, who is the sweetest person on the world and the amazing The Snows of Kilimanjaro This did put a smile on my face. thank you, thank you, thank you so much!! :)

Today had a lecture about going into my final year at uni...eep very scared..but looking forward to it. Can't wait to get back to working and try lots of new ideas.

We have the studio party tomorrow, so we can make up some money for our degree show, and i have my normal cakes to bring in. Got to help out on the bar too. Ah its gonna be scary because 4-5 we have the new first years having a look round and we have to serve them 'juice' hehe. and then the real party starts at 5-7, with booze!! it will be sad to see the 3rd years leave...

....i also ended up making a JUNO cake...yum.
