illo babies

crafting, 365, journal, originally uploaded by Champignons.

Rabbits. They have a lot of babies. Good at multiplying, though weak in other mathematical areas. I think we have managed to sort out the house now, we are busy cramming things in boxes in hopeful anticipation of signing something on monday.

flickr explore

So, this is the photo I said got into Flickr explore. The best I saw it at was number 4, which meant it was surrounded by some pretty awesome photos, and also I have a large volume of flickr mail and some of the best comments ever (my member is my hearts, for one. What does it mean.. who knows?). Anyway, I'm thinking of popping a print in my etsy store. I'm not sure, because I have never sold photography before.

So, thanks for the comments and faves. I've also got some pretty awesome photomanips from miss-bunny, so I will update this post after I've checked it's ok to include them

You will be relieved to hear that I have *did* receive some birthday mail yesterday (my birthday is on Monday, a postless bank holiday) - I thought there was a pretty poor show, but it transpires that there was a sufficient amount of packages to warrant at separate parcel delivery. Hurrah!

illo worry

163/365 mind divided, originally uploaded by Champignons.

This is a journal page- the top phrenology head is the one I drew, and I recommend that you don't draw a self portrait of yourself without the top of you head as that is in fact a source of worry. Anyway, I printed it up as a screen print today, it looks good (i think)

So, I've had a bit of worry this week, trying to sort out a new house to move into (it had been available for a month, you would have thoughtt the letting agents would be a bit more eager to return calls and take the deposit) and also 'I have no income' presumably because I am self employed and work for moonbeams and stardust instead of real hard cash. I'm thinking that the fact my beloved earns a good deal should be enough to satisfy thier worries- we never had a problem when we said I was a housewife, so I think its the fact that I dare to call my self employed while swanning are drawing and sunning myself that makes me morally reprehensible and untrustworthy.

On the whole, I feel similarly towards letting agents.

I've also had a couple of bits of good news this week- a feature on etsy finds AND a photo at number 5 flickr explore. WooHoo. I'll do a separate post about those later.

illo wide

A wide open mind- do you have days when you feel like that? A new perspective. A bird explosion has broadened your horizons... a breath of fresh air in a stuffy head.

Well, I am not doing very well on the blogging more than once a week front (maybe because people only seem to read the Friday posts?) but the new fangled ability for blogger to post INTO THE FUTURE leaves me feeling this might happen soon. Though sadly I still have to write the blog posts. Blogger technology does not allow me to download what I want to say instantly from my brain yet, which is slightly disappointing.

The sewing machine eventually arrived on Saturday morning, in case you are wondering (I doubt you are) and was delivered by a very strange man demanding drugs. It transpired he thought I was a medical doctor because of the address label, but not even medical doctors are allowed to give speed to random delivery guys (and judging by the rate of his speech, he really didn't need it either)

ho hum!

Illo electricity

I used to know why birds on wires didn't get elecrocuted.. I still would, but I don't really care; pondering about such things is more important than actually knowing the answers.

It's sunny today but I am waiting for my sewing machine to be delivered. I'm not sure if it will, or if I'm meant to collect it (due to ambiguous delivery notes)

And I haven't had a nice shower all week- and I really want to so I am perpetually covered in gallons of suncream I would like to wash off . Ourboiler is broken, so I went swimming- their boiler was broken too. and today the boiler at the swimming pool was fixed, but they had no water pressure, so the showers are a piffling piddle and I declare this week stinky-or-cold-piddling-shower-week.

illo friday

Eggs
they are like seeds that grow birds.

I planted some more seeds today- luffa, patty pan squash, lettuce and rocket. Yum (appart from the luffa)

Anyway, small things, that grow bigger things.

May day! May day! Bird explosions!

Happy May!
I like May. Lots of holidays (not that effects my working schedule any more) my birthday, longer days, Wickerman burning, general springtime shenanigans...

I printed 30 of these today- there's 3 colours (plus a red stamp) so that's 90 pulls- but worth it I think. I have trimmed them square now, they are spiffy.

I also planted some seeds- tomatillo and huckleberry.
