I haven’t posted in a few weeks. This is bad of me. Although
I have been busy in a productive way!
So I attended MCM expo almost two weeks ago now. It was an
insanely busy day. Really too busy at points. We queued for TWO hours to get a
ticket. The hall was completely packed out smelt pretty iffy too haha! We had a
look around and I really wanted to get a game signed for Matt. Turned out he
wasn’t around until later and all the tickets had gone. Boo. They also has GIANT MINIONS! I wanted to take one home D:
What caught my eye the most though was all the little stands
and the illustrator stands. I went to one Jess Bradley stand and I fell in love with her art. I was feeling super sad
because that’s what I really want to do. And then it dawned on me, I could do
that I've just been too damn lazy to both and that annoyed me.
So I got home and found an awesome necklace that makes
necklaces like the ones I love, it works out so cheap around £2 a necklace and I
would like to sell them for £8-£10 a necklace. I would like to do greeting
cards and prints and badge and all sorts. It’s quite exciting. So I came up
with a plan.
- Design and print business cards.
- Make 1-3 designs per week MINIMUM.
- Update blog everyday on Tumblr.
- Pick 5 designs to get printed onto necklaces.
- Design backing cards to display necklaces.
- Attend a craft fair and see how they go and get my work out there!!!
Anyway so far it has gone quite well. I have two designs I
am pleased with. They aren't quite finished yet though. It’s only minor touches
I need to do to them!
I am actually super motivated and I can’t wait to really get
this rolling.
Matt also got a new job, I’m not sure if I mentioned that in
my last post. And I FINALLY after 10months of temping got offered my job. The
downside is that I also got offered a job interview for job I really want in
Croydon. It’s on Tuesday and I really REALLY want it! It’s for a production
designer so the job sounds good its more money and cost of travel would be less
than a quarter of what I am paying now. SOO I have everything crossed.
I also started to teach matt to drive, that has been a
little scary in places, but he is doing very very well! He just needs a little
more confidence I think.
Tonight I am going to get ready in the toilet after work and
head down to Burgess Hill, his work are having a leaving dinner for him and I was
invited so I’m pretty excited about that! Downside is though I bought my
favourite dress with me but you have to wear a vest top under it and I forgot
the vest top. Boo.
I don’t have any plans to do much this weekend. I think it
will be a weekend of lying in bed watching Dexter (which I am currently re-obsessed
with) and doing some design work. I went to see the hangover last week but it
was pretty naff and tbh I was pretty pissed off too and hurt about something
else it sorta crushed my mood for the weekend. I must NOT go shopping or spend
much money as mine and Matt’s pay have gotten a little fucked due to him
changing jobs and me changing the way I get paid :/ So staying in bed seems
like a great idea. I have to get a top at lunch though as I said above and I’m
sooooo fucking tempted to get this really cute little peach dress I saw ages
ago! BUT I MUST NOT…. It’s like £20 and I need to save that!
I’ll end with so tales of my bank holiday weekend. I was
meant to see my friends on the bank holiday but they blew me out except one and
I really didn’t want to sit in a pub all day when the weather was beautiful and
I had a rare extra day off. SOOO I called my trusty sister and we went to Brighton.
It was lovely! Ate some Mexican food, looked down the laines, and then went to
the beach, I also enjoyed a ride on a carousel. It made me dizzy and I was a
little sick in my mouth. LOVELY!
Let’s hope the weather picks up as it’s been so beautiful
all week and this morning it started to thunder lightening and RAIN, lots of
rain again. Thank god for English weather. Yuk.
