I need a hair cut.

I'm so sorry it has been such a long time since I blogged. Life has been busy. Veeeery busy.

Which has lead to me being very, very tired.

A few weeks ago I moved all of my creative things into my new studio, which used to be known as the garden shed. I like it out there, its nice and cosy, and everything is within reach.

I have been creating again. Lots of nice, and time consuming, map drawings, in ink, and collage, and sticky back plastic (which is the most lovely invention ever). Its nice being creative, and not having to worry that I HAVE to create. I could just not, but I actually want to right now. I mean yes, in theory I do kind of have to, because there is an exhibition in August, and one next year, but I don't have to create loads, and I'm not being graded, or marked, or judged. Its all about what I want to do. So I'm making pretty brightly coloured strange drawings. That probably only me will like, but hey, whatever.

I've also been doing more workshops, which are exciting, a little stressful sometimes, but its all experience and learning, and from the stress there will be better, less stressful times (in theory).

I feel like I'm all over the place with all the things that I do, but truthfully if I was doing the same thing everyday I think I would get bored.

The most wonderful thing I have been doing lately is watching Dawsons Creek again. Oh how I love that show!! Pacey is my hero.

Its just so filled with drama, and silly, and lovely at the same time. I'm watching series 6 right now, which will lead to the inevitable viewing of "All Good Things...Must Come to an End", which is an awesome specimen of a show finale. I think I have seen it at least 20 times, and everytime I still feel sad at the sad parts, and get tingles at the happy endings (for some people anyway). The rest of that series does annoy me a little. I mean Pacey is like a stock selling person, with a disastrous hair cut, and a stupid little beardy goatee type thing. And Audrey's drinking. And Joey with Eddie, I mean really, he was just annoying. The redeeming thing is the lovely Jensen Ackles as Jen's boyfriend, and a little happiness for Jack, at least for a while. I just watched "Castaways", which is a lovely episode. Pacey and Joey trapped in a Kmart store overnight, dealing with their past, how they are still in love, etc, and Pacey's beard is finally removed!! I love Pacey. He is wonderful. Maybe I will watch the third (I'm not sure of this) series, the one where Pacey and Joey fall in love, and the bestest Pacey series. I would definitely run away in a boat with him, or sail away rather.

I haven't actually read a book in quite a while, unless you count re-reading the happy endings of my favourites at times when I feel particularly sad, or tired. I feel this needs to remedied. I shall visit Forbidden Planet during my upcoming trip to Newcastle, and see if they have anything I might like!

I did consider the other day purchasing Jim Butcher audio books. James Marsters (aka Blondie Bear, aka Spike) reads them in the American version of his voice, and from the snippets I can preview I do believe he does a good job! I'm excited for the Harry Dresden short story anthology later this year, although apparently we in the UK don't like Mr Butcher enough for them to give us a hardcover, so I may have to wait till next year. (of course I'm much too impatient of a person to do that, I shall get an American copy).

Right then, that is enough blog for now. I will try and remember to do this more often, it was quite nice.

PS I knitted a rabbit yesterday. Knitting is quite therapeutic.
