I've been meaning to do this for too long! However, i handed my work in on Thursday and now i feel like i can finally breath. Its been an intense term!

So 2 weeks ago today, i got engaged! Other than a few fluttering thoughts it was a complete surprise, and even when he got down on one knee my mind was like 'what are you doing?' but my spirit was way ahead, and my nerves told me something immense was going to happen! 

I Love this 2 week point...

 the decrease of uni work means i can focus on a wedding! I feel like this is what i've been waiting for, guilt free time with my Pinterest account. 

So, i was thinking about how to mark this life event on hear - the actual proposal story is quite beautifully funny, and its much better told in person. I did receive some rather charming cards, so i thought i'd share with you what this means to other people. 

There are two areas of this curation - 

1) Beautifully humorous / cute / child-like

2) delicate / paper - cut / collage

Im quite into cards, so hear are my 6 favourites (of the ones in my house, warren also has some lovely ones.)....

I have an exhibition on tuesday/wednesday & thursday - so will try and post pictures of my work soon!

A mega belated round-up, its a sad thing when i can't find the time or energy to blog. But after a beautiful weekend back in Wales, i am refreshed and back to business. 

Hear is a glimpse into what i've been up to at uni for the last 4 weeks. Now, i am happy naturally dyeing my yarn for weave - and can safely say Im pleased to move on and leave the chaos of the print room behind me. 

I learnt a lot, mainly about hitting the creative wall and the pain of finding the strength to continue in the midst of my head and body saying STOP, RUN, THIS ISNT WORTH IT! (*dramatic) 

My heart was that i'd create a print containing the declaration that rain will fall on the dry floors of Kilinochchi, northern Sri Lanka. And after working for 4 weeks, with feeling that nobody really 'got' my vision and struggling to represent it myself. I found peace, massive refreshing peace in the knowledge that rain is falling in that place! (so the internet says)

THIS IS WORTH IT!
