Birthday Trip to the Aquarium

For my birthday William took me to London Aquarium. It was brilliant.

The photos have loaded backwards in order to how they happened but this is the finale of the aquarium, getting to walk over the top of the shark tank. It was really cool to see everything swimming around under your feet.

There are more photos on my flickr and there will be another post for the non-aquarium related bits of my birthday.

Cinnabar

On my way home from the shop I noticed this little fellow.
According to what I found out on google he's going to become a Cinnabar moth which are also rather pretty.

In other news I have had my first sale on Etsy!!
Well done me :)

Today I...

...did a bit of drawing in my sketchbook after walking to the shop...

... and stamped my website onto 60 business cards.

Since my last (proper) post...

I have...

done a 41 and a half hour week at my supposed to be part-time job,

this has killed my knees.
but only one more shift tomorrow then I have a whole week off that includes my birthday!
refused to sign an agreement meaning work could get me to work more than 48 hours a week.

finished all the crocheting for a cushion cover I'm making for the shop.

drawn out a lot of business cards.

painted some wooden pegs.

seen 3 kids dressed as Woody, 4 kids dressed as Buzz Lightyear, 2 kids dressed as Jesse and 1 kid wearing a Rex T-shirt.

also seen one mum get mad that her child had lost his Woody toy and the child didn't seem to care at all.

I think she should have given me the Woody toy.

decided that saving money by buying cheap shampoo and no conditioner isn't worth the feeling of having dirty hair just after I've washed it and caved and bought new shampoo and some conditioner.

today my hair feels clean.


I am looking forward to...

finishing my shift tomorrow and having a week to actually do things rather than just being knackered.

getting the film from the Praktica developed. Fingers crossed it worked!

taking photos.

doing some drawing.

making things.

finishing off a load of stuff on my 'to do' list

my birthday!

actually seeing Will for a substantial amount of time.

Sale

Just a quick reminder that my Christmas In July sale ends tomorrow (25th) so be sure to go check it out while you still have the chance!

In other news I'm hoping it won't be too much longer before I get some prints in the shop so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Foxgloves and a Poppy

An illustration for your pleasure.

And for my pleasure, my very first poppy flowered!!
I didn't think they'd flower this year but I went out this morning to check on them and there it was, all pretty.
(and a little windswept and rained on)

I'm so proud :)
