Outsidey

Today I walked my guinea pig, cuddled rats and a baby guinea (he was so sweet), and gave my friend a buzzcut. Ooh, and I visited the garden center. These photos I took in the garden this morning whilst watching Margot (my queen guinea) and Caramel and drinking hot chocolate. It was brilliant.

 

I also took pretty photos at the garden center (and discovered this face ˚∆˚)

So ye, today is mainly photos! I have also been instructed to mention:

-That Lily will be deeply offended if I do not write about her buzzcut. It's a great buzzcut.

-My "lovely hatypus friend" and "how cool he is". He's very cool.

-My "lovely mortal, Dyspraxic friend". His brother has a brilliant guinea pig.

I am so tired! Night y'all. -Julia

Axolotl Beginnings

It is 00:32 here and I have just realised that I completely forgot to post today, so I am reserving this spot for photos I took today/yesterday. V sorry!

This day (I'm writing from the future!) I began work on my final project for my college course. It's an axolotl duck creature thing for the theme "Snapshot"- a 3D snapshot of an alternate reality. Where axolotls are sort of anthropomorphic.

Lil guy will look much better when he's more than roughly cut foam and wire!

Open Studios 2015

Today I went out with my family and my bae to look around the studios of lots of local artists for Open Studios. I'm not sure how widespread this is, but it's basically this: for a few weeks artists open up their workplaces and you can look around and sometimes buy work.

I wore a white t-shirt and dungarees (which I actually added badges to before setting out, but I didn't get photos somehow). This hand-knitted navy blue jumper was my mum's when she was (I think?) about my age, but it was very itchy and I didn't last long wearing it.

One of the potters we visited taught workshops and was selling off unclaimed work for charity. I bought this pot and I love it so much, my camera is dying and doesn't quite capture how pretty it is but it is very. The base isn't quite intact but I was thinking I could use it for crochet hooks or something similar.

 

Other goodies: ceramic buttons (from the unclaimed work) and a badge which my grandma bought me from an exhibiting artist.

My bae and I also each got a Moomin poster from a shop unrelated to Open Studios, both were different designs but this is mine. Somehow it doesn't have a single moomin in it, but here it is brightening up my wall of amazing (and a lot of my art, too).

I've decided to give the daily songs a little break but shall be sure to share good music (+ lots of other stuff!) whenever I find it! Ooh, I also finally got a haircut today. No photos of that but it's super cute and short. I'm allowed to say my hair is cute because I like it lots today, plus I wasn't the one who cut it.

Happy vibes -Julia

Sunday, and stuff (I'm running out of post titles)

Today I spent the afternoon at my Grandma's house (which is very pretty) and took a whole bunch of nice photos. We watched "What we did on our Holiday" which was dark and really quite good. Anyway, I took pretty photos to make up for the lack of photos lately:

So pretty and full of plants. The photo uploader seems to be almost working today too, which is great news! I finished crocheting my first tiny pair of booties which turned out cute. I can't find them right now and may well have left them at my grandma's house (well done me!).

This was my first attempt at any sort of footwear and I decided to make the pattern up too, and I think they turned out at least reasonably cute. They were definitely good practice.

Today (yeah! song of the day!) you should listen tooooo this (yes another front bottoms acoustic cover) because I really want to play acoustic guitar on a rooftop or at least somewhere open air and very high up one day.

Thank you for putting up with my weirdly not-flowing typing today.

Euronoooooooooo

I did it. I watched every single song in Eurovision this year. I also stepped on a pin, swam, and ate almost a whole pot of hummus. I do not regret any of this very productive behavior. I do mildly regret not taking photos for today's post. Just mildly.

So tragically I have no pretty photos to post today! I've had a really great evening talking to friends and bae and I feel inspired to do things and go out and spend time with some of the lovely people I know.

So I'm really sorry for the lack of photos! I'm just very busy.

Outfit: Actual Plant Vibes

So my image files are still coming up as being broken for some reason, but apparently most people can see them which is good! These I resized and uploaded to photobucket which might maybe help.

Anyway! My t-shirt arrived! It is lovely.

 

I swear photobucket slightly mutes the colours on my photos too. The photo issues are never ending!

I did put on shorts when I went out, rather than just a t-shirt and tights (my legs look super weird in that photo). Other than that I have worked today and that's about it; I am a doll artist (kind of) and I finished one super fast which is rad.

My typing is hella unenthusiastic today ha. I watched about half of this but found it very eerie. The animation is adorable but the voices and music throw me a bit.

That's the ~video for the day~! 

Promise tomorrow's post will be nicer to read and hopefully more colourful if these photos start working. Promise.

Imminent Sobbing: ?????

I don't know if you guys have noticed or not but about 90% of the photos on my blog have out of the blue decided to be "broken files". I'm so upset and have no idea how to fix this. My blog looks all sad and empty. Will use a different image host till I find out what on earth has gone wrong.
