I'm back and I made a quick movie!

Jeez I haven't posted in forever.

Mostly because my life has been an insane bunch of insane things happening one after the other.
Also because I lost my job (was made redundant) and decided to change careers.
So the last year I have been studying to become a librarian! It's been very full on as they condensed what used to be two years into one year so most of my spare time has just been studying. 

I only have two weeks left so I should be back to blogging shortly but for now I thought I would share this video.

I had a subject, Promote literature and reading. We had to make a blog and promotional activity for a certain topic. I picked graphic novels and decided to promote it with a video.

It's sort of funny so I thought I would share it here. It's a bit of a rush job as I did it all in one day but still funny. Plus I LOVE my wig.

I hope you are all going good.
Do you read comics? If so what ones?

So I have returned!

After much time off with work stress, life stress, financial stress I feel like I finally have some time and energy to put back into blogging.

I had also been spending a fair amount of time doing crafts (which I had totally neglected) and also playing some games, both computer and table top war gaming.

A welcome back post would not be complete without some pictures!

Here is my newest tattoo, it's actually very new! only a week old! It is by far my fav and was drawn from scratch and tattooed by my friend Paul Abstruse who is a published comic book artist.

(this goes from practically my crotch to my knee on my left thigh it's HUGE)

Check out his work here!

 

So I changed my diet a fair bit, I have cut out all wheat and a lot of beans, corn, limited my dairy and rice intake and I have actually lost quite a bit of weight.

Instead of an xxl shirt from ThinkGeek I am an M! My corset that used to just fit now completely closed at the back! In addition to becoming more sexy I also feel less sick, have more energy and can think better.

Here are some pics of a cute green outfit I wore the other weekend.

Hey look! I got a new tattoo!

Lord of the Rings Cross stitch - who wouldn't love one?

Non make up post for today!

In summer which was over in March it is far too hot to knit many things, and I get bored with things far too easily. So I decided to learn cross stitch.

Cross stitch is a sort of different kind of relaxing to knitting, I find the actual act or stitching much easier because you are pretty much just doing crosses. I suppose it can be likened to Gater or stocking stitch in the knitting world but I hardly ever knit something that simple.

The harder part is that you have to stare at little squares to see where you are and you have to thread a needle all the time which is annoying.

Anyway, this is my first attempt and I am pretty happy. It's a birthday present for a friend who loves Lord of the Rings (it's a Gandalf quote)

I got the pattern from super cool Etsy store Bombastitch.

There are other great patterns like these:

Kristy from Bombastitch also has completed cross stitches for sale for very reasonable prices :)
$4 for a pdf pattern and instructions is great! Check out her store!
