fruitful

I need to stop biting my nails, it's getting painful and ridiculous. This is why schools should allow nail polish - aside from the fact it in no way distracts from education, it helps people like me stop biting their nails, simultaneously helping them look awesome.

Now, this is totally separate from that random snippet of annoyance above ^

Yesterday I had to travel to school just for a 5 minute meeting with my tutor. I don't even think I have to mention that this was a completely pointless enterprise.

Buuut, a plus is that I bought some random things, yaaay.

Flower-crown-making things, i.e. many fake flowers and a glue gun.

Family Knits

These AMAZINGly 80s knitting patterns were in a charity shop. The Family Knits one was a pound and it has looooads of patterns in it, and the other one is just for the jumper shown in the picture and it was 20p.

I'm planning to make most - if not all - of my christmas presents this year. Flower crowns and other sort-of-impractical-but-pretty things are top of my to-do list.

So, bye. I'll post a couple of crafty tutorials soon.

so you're ill, huh?

I'm ill. This, for me, means my Hello Kitty dressing gown, woollen socks and blankets in abundance.

It also means I'll be able to do lots of blogging, yay ~ *cough* yay ~

First of all, here is a list of things that are good to do when you're ill.

1. Eat/drink soup: It's a classic for ill or wintery times. A good and easy recipe for soup is Bouillon stock with boiling water in a mug. Takes like 3 minutes to make, it's genius.
2. Surround yourself with duvets, pillows, tissues (and cats, whenever possible): Soft things are always good. And cats are extra good because they're company too.
3. Sleep in the daytime: BECOME CAT. Some people find it hard to sleep in the daytime, but I find it really helps sometimes. If sleeping is not an option, just arrange yourself in mounds of blankets and fluffy things and relaaax(I personally love hibernating and being nocturnal, its so fun).
4. Have a nice bath: the nicest baths are to be had at night time. Wait til it's completely dark outside, then light lots of pretty candles and DON'T FALL ASLEEP IN THE BATH TUB. DANGEROUS.
5. Paint or draw: sometimes using a creative outlet can distract from being ill. Try and stick to painting happy things (e.g. unicorns, rainbows) to encourage your illness to go away.
6. Sew/knit/crochet: If you can't go to school, then you may as well be productive in some way. And this way you can make more warm things to help you get better (une example; making crochet squares and then joining them into a biiiig cosy quilt).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and do a few of these. 

Bye kittens
