A Quickie

Just a quick outfit post of an outfit I wore the other day. Well...I didn't actually wear the shoes or necklace. It is more of a "What I would wear if I didn't work with children" sort of outfit. :P

Busy Worker Bee

Hi again! Been a long time once again. Well this time I got busy with school and I got myself a manfriend. :D I'm pretty thrilled about the latter but I won't go all mushy mushy on here.

I have come today with a TUTORIAL!! for everyone.

Ok so about two weeks ago my friend gave me a picture she found in a newspaper that she thought I might like. Guess what!? I do like it! But alas I was stumped on how I could put it up on my wall. I didn't want to just tacs it up, I thought it deserved better than that. So I thought long and hard and I finally came up with what to do with it. (All this intro makes it seem like it's gonna be something extra special, but really it's not) So here I go with my first ever tutorial.

 What you need:
1. Mod Podge (or I'm sure some sort of white glue will work too, just make sure to water it down)
2. Scissors
3. Paint brush
4. Old notebook, we'll be using the back cardboard part
5. Last but not least, the picture you want to use
(6. *Not in picture* The frame you want to use for your final art piece)


Step 1: Remove back cardboard from notebook


Step 2: Mod Podge the cardboard (or use glue)


Step 3: Place picture on top and Mod Podge over the picture. Put the picture on slowly and start  by placing one side down first and slowly smoothing the rest on as you go. (I didn't do that here and I got creases and some bubbles on my picture)
Step 4: Allow glue to fully dry before moving on to Step 5


Step 5: Cut picture to fit into the frame. Make sure you measure carefully, you don't want any side peeking through.
Step 6: Hang or place where ever you like!

There all done! That was easy, wasn't it. I'm going to hang mine on my wall, I just need to buy nails first.
I hope everyone has a lovely day and enjoyed this tutorial. :D

Labour Day

Labour Day here in the Great White North. It marks the last day of summer for me and I couldn't be more excited. I'm absolutely thrilled school is starting again. Four and a half months of time off is quite enough for me, thank you very much. I'm taking some pretty interesting courses this semester, one is History of Ireland! I've always been fascinated with history but haven't taken a course until now.

I finally took some pictures again. And again they are of Chicken (Tilly will get her own post soon). Chicken is such an adorable cat. She has really come around in the past few months. When we got her she was frightened by everything but now she just lays there all calm and cute like. Makes me go all >_<

I don't know if you can tell but my bed is covered in her hair. She sheds constantly and a lot. We really need to brush her but the brush we have really only works for Tilly's hair, she needs a long haired cat brush.
