the exhibitionist's exhibition!

well thats it, ive got one day left of being a student. scary thought! cant believe its all over. :-
the exhibition went well, the private show was packed, which considering the heat, wasnt really a good thing!! its been really hot over the last few days, proper english summer (too hot and muggy! hehe) although it only lasted a few days then cooled down and started raining again! chuh. we had lots of people looking round on all the days really which kept us busy. it was quite nice people watching and hearing the comments about your work. i also had lots of friends coming to look which was nice and meant alot. so cheers to everyone that did come and see it! :-) i sold two pieces, one paper design, the other was a woven sample. id also made some ties and i had alot of interest from blokes and girls! i was really pleased with the way it looked cos it was different from the rest of the weave displays and if im happy with it, thats all that matters!
THE KTP SHOW!
ive only got one photo in this post cos blogger is being a bit rubbish at the mo but ill dust off the link to my photoblog and post them there!
there are two other websites you should check out too. one is the site for our degree show:
the other is a textile website that chose my image to go on the june newsletter about degree shows:
(just click on the june newsletter)
our next show is our london show which is from 22nd-26th june at the old truman brewery, brick lane. should be quite good fun and interesting to see who comes round cos theres usually more trade looking round in london than lufbra.
went out last night for my last time to the union as a student with the india girlies and their housemates. got a bit soppy towards the end of the night cos its all coming to the end of a chapter (sounds cheezy i know but its true!). im actually staying in lufbra till the end of the month but everyone else is going (apart from rfa and a few others) so its a bit poo saying bye to everyone at the mo. *sniff*
thats about it for now, will get the photoblog sorted asap. ttfn

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
