one big happy tour
So! Bowling For Soup eh?
I hear you say!
YES! They were outstanding!
The Dollyrots were the band I was itching to see were slightly disappointing. They have so many good songs and didn't play many of them. Patent Pending were really good, well worth a listen.
Photos you ask? Why yes yes I did get photos, BUT! But first let me tell you a story. The gig was for Emzio's birthday, She knew Stringer and I were going. Whilst she ordered food Yvonne crept in and stood behind her. She was there for what seemed like ever before Emz noticed then cue the much needed girly screams! It was such an awesome feeling that I managed to keep an exciting secret!
So yes I cant keep you hanging on for pictures....but wait I can theres more!! In Yorkshire we chant 'YORKSHIRE' kinda to be expected right? well the bands all thought we were chanting 'your shit' which clearly we weren't. So Jared decides to create a chant. the chant went 'if your not from Yorkshire your penis is small, if your not from Yorkshire you have no penis at all' so clearly everyone roared with laughter. He then created another one which went 'If your not from Yorkshire your vaginas not tight, if your not from Yorkshire your vagina doesn't feel right' again cue fits of laughter!
ok! ok! pictures I know! Here you go!

interesting...
Well I have found an ebook about glass bottle slumping.
When Steven and I were in Lanzarote for our foreign honeymoon we found a stall in the Teguise market that sold flat glass bottle clocks. We instantly fell in love with them and bought one for Stevens older brothers birthday. It was a morgans spiced rum which is his favourite. I really wanted to work out how to make them as they make an awesome gift.
Then whilst on you guessed it pinterest I found a link to a website which is here .This ebook tells you how to prepare your bottles and how to turn them into trays or wall hangings. Ifell in love! I book the ebook for about £19 which to be fair is fairly expensive but I got free things with mine.
Now I need to find out where has a kiln that I maybe able to rent so I can make some next year as gifts or even to sell.

busy busy busy
Ive been well busy recently and none of it has been crafty or christmas related argh!
I have been working, helping my friend pack stuff ready for a house move. However I have got a list of things im going to try next year.
One of which is a sky scarf. Basically every day of the year you knit just one row in the coordinating colour of the sky that day. Where I live I can already tell you what colours its gonna be grey grey and maybe a patch of blue! I thought its an interesting concept that wont take a whole lotta time.
With halloween fast approaching my mind has been turned to fancy dress. Its also the night of one of my besties leaving do. Im thinking cosplay this year, Ive always wanted to try it and Steven is addicted to Final Fantasy. It for sure is his second love. I thought it might be a nice surprise for him to join the two together. Now I loathe final fantasy but I love him. I have found an outfit that works out at around £75 at least before p+p. Its a character off XIII - XIII-2 she is the only one that doesnt show her stomach. So a big win for me. But she is also in essence the female version of Cloud which practically every man loves including Steven so I thought BOOM! I will dress up as Lightning. Stevens best mate thinks its the best idea ever so next week I will look into buying it!
Are you dressing up for halloween if so what as?

emzio's birthday cake craziness
It was my best mate Emmas birthday last week and as I was on nights I decided to cook tea when her, Sarah and I were all free. We had meatballs and pasta for tea and I made her some special cupcakes. Surprise surprise I found this on pinterest. Basically put your batter in the cases as normal then just stick an ice cream cone on top then bake until cooked. I topped mine with fudge and sugar sparkles in oir favourite colour green! Plus a candle which until she blew it out I had forgotten I had bought re-lighting candles for Stevens older brothers cake earlier in the year.
gig gig gig
Well! I'm particularly stoked for the coming week. I've been waiting to see Bowling For Soup for like ever and next friday I get to go see them with three of my best friends! Its going to be amazing! And to make it even better The Dollyrots who I also adore are supporting! I didnt even think they were still touring! When I heard that they were supporting I screamed a little! Well as I said in an earlier post things had to start looking up and they are!
I was worried with moving back to my old job we were going to struggle with money for a month, but I recieved in the poat yesterday a tax rebate for a grand! So Steven can get his money for the bills and I can finally buy some new clothes and put some of it aside for when we go to Edinburgh. This means we can actually not worry about spending money as I get another payday before we go too.
Happy realisation of the day, postive thinking/attitude may have some credibility after all :)

my vegetables
My bean and tomato plants died :( I was devastated I think I over watered them. I never professed to be a good gardener this was my first proper attempt. Next year I will implement a schedule and tick sheet with when I have watered them and how much. Then I should have a better chance of them growing and producing an edible crop. I feel bad though because the tomato plant was given to me by my friend.
