Just a very quick update, to share with you a few items of clothing I’ve been working on, the first two have been created using a Military Shirt, which I painstakingly unpicked and refashioned! The Chinese bodice is a work in process, and is the top part of a dress that I am working on, the material was sourced from a Chinese jacket I picked up in Ireland, of all places!
A somewhat busy week, I seemed to have been out everyday, but I’ve booked the church for our wedding, St Godric’s, and had an appointment with the wedding organiser at Durham Castle, I also managed to fit in learning to knit, and something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, I learnt to weld!
It was very enjoyable, and not as hard as I imagined it would be, once I was given my safety gear, talk, and demonstration! Thanks Dad x
Last week I picked up a book in a charity shop called “Embroidered Jewellery”, it’s quite interesting, although I haven’t made any of their projects yet, I have picked up on a few of their techniques and created some lovely Asian inspired brooches ready for the Chinese New Year! I’ve also created a denim “Cuff” embellished with pieces of a broken necklace.
I went to take a photo to post, to find that I’d let Andrew use my batterys and hadn’t gotten them back yet!
I’ve decided to enter myself in to the sports relief mile! Well, 3 Miles, that takes place at the end of March just outside of Durham. It’ll give me my first goal to strive for towards competing in a 10km (6 mile) race!

Wish me luck! 
and expect fundraising pitches in the near future!

Or in my case, at least I hope it does! I’m currently hoping that by taking things slowly and yet persistantly I will get where I need to be, life isn’t a race, it is to be enjoyed, not passed by so fast that everything seems like a fuzzy blur and you can’t really remember how you got there.
My resolutions for this year; or at least what I would like to see happen
To gain meaningful employment (a long shot in this economic climate, but a necessary goal for a happy life)
To not lose focus on a healthier lifestyle
To train for both the great north run, and the 3 peak challenge!
Happy New Year Everyone!
This year is off to a great start, I am full of cold! I suppose that’s what happens over the holiday season when you spend alot of time with family and friends!
I am however loving my little studio/office in the spare room, which I will share photos of later today!
