I'm sorry to say that I have failed one of my New Years resolutions this month; I've been unable to finish the book I was reading. But January has been a very busy month, with exams and what not so I haven't had much time to myself (even this post is being written rather quickly, as I would like to start February in...

Today is a very exciting day, as it was my Unit 3 Art deadline. I am now free of that project, what a relief. But this post is not about today, it is about some amazingly talented people I know. This Saturday I was lucky enough to go with my friend to the Liverpool Hilton to set up an ice sculpture created by Glacial...

First of all, sorry about the lateness of this post, but my laptop had decided to be difficult and insist that it can't accept the charger it's been using for the last 4 months, stupid thing.  But anyway, last weekend I travelled for 4 hours with my family to visit my Auntie, Uncle and two little cousins in Milton Keynes. Proving to be...

Exactly a week ago I went for a taster session at the college I wish to attend next year to do my Art and Design Foundation Diploma. Despite arriving just the tiniest bit late I didn't give a bad first impression as I'd already met the two women doing the workshop beforehand. All the art rooms at the college completely amaze me: they...

First thing I will say is; I Love Broccoli. ♥ OK, now being a little more serious. As one of my resolutions states I will be taking better care of myself, therefore I have started eating more healthily, or at last attempting to; when chocolate isn't being extremely tempting! I have also started to exercise more, I mean, just this week I have...

About a week ago I was given back my Art exam from last year (Unit 2). Although being given work back is a normality for an art student I was still rather excited, I hadn't seen this work in months and it always gives me a little thrill to see how my skills have improved and remember using all different media. (Experimental Photographs)...

On Wednesday afternoon I was in serious of need of an excuse not to do revision, I just could not face it. So while browsing the internet (one of my distractions) I came across something fascinating on Pinterest. This amazing phenomenon; Doughnut Muffins! This idea captivated me, so I searched the internet for a recipe that wasn't using American measurements, So I gave up....

I know life is busy, everybody has something going on. But to be honest, I think half the time it's an excuse to ignore the beautiful world around us. This forest is a five minute walk from my house, but the last time I can remember going for a walk was over a year ago and I don't know why. Taking a walk...

I didn't want to title the post 'Thank God, it's Friday', because how typical and predictable would that be, but seriously, thank God it's Friday, I can sleep, something I have been seriously deprived of this week.  Fridays are now and forever (well, until we leave college) dedicated to Florence and the Machine on our way to college in the car; what a better way...

Two of my lucky younger siblings received mini tablet computer things for Christmas. So I was commanded by my Father to make them something to keep them in, we all know how messy little kids can be. I was struck by inspiration when I remembered the material my Mum had given me to make cushion covers with, (which I just never got around...

First day back at College and I already feel like Death. College was meant to be some form of escape from extra work, annoying children, and the lovely illness that is trying so hard to destroy my entire immune system. But instead I find myself facing horrible deadlines and looming exams, 3 hours in the building and my body was completely drained of...

Like many people out there I began the new year, to say the least, slightly intoxicated. However this did not stop me from making the same ridiculous resolution I make every year: to lose weight, evidently I have never kept to this one. So when the consequences of said intoxication had worn off, I could rationally think through some resolutions that could actually benefit...
