this book which is fab and has details of people's studios and their inspirations and is just like condensing all the best bits of all my favourite craft blogs into one book!
My brother pretty much finished moving out yesterday and I am soooo happy to have the flat back to myself. He wasn't a bad flat mate to be honest and the extra money came in very handy (for buying plane tickets to thailand, hee!) but it just feels so much nicer with just me and the cats. I honestly don't think I'll ever be able to live with someone ever again after realising how nice it is to live alone! So now that the living room is vacant I have plans to move in my desk/table and set up a little studio corner where i can keep all my art materials. and I'm finally going to get round to getting all the prints I own framed and hung up - I'm terrible for buying them and then leaving them rolled up in a tube! Can't wait to get started...
I've been trying to get back into the rythym of my japanese study and I've found a new way to learn kanji which is making it so much easier! I always hated learning kanji but now I'm having competitions with myself to see how many new ones I can learn each day. And it's so nice recognising them in sentences and actually knowing the meaning rather than staring at them and thinking "I *should* know that but...". I just totally don't want to go to my classes anymore but that's just laziness!
had some tasty sushi and plum wine and conversations about moomins last night. I'm still coveting the moomin mugs i saw in copenhagen. oh why do the nice things all have to be so expensive?
i'm nosy and love looking round other people's houses. well here is mine! and i think these photos are overdue as i've been living here about 3 months and most people i know haven't seen it yet...
my living room. it's very big and empty at the moment - i tend not to go in there. but i will! i want to bring my desk over from my mum's and set it up as a drawing/craft space
yes i still need a stand for my tv. and those frames are waiting to be put up, i was just testing out the pictures in them. i need some backing paper (and another frame as i cracked one in the testing process. oops)
just a view from another angle. i just come in here to watch dvds and knit, though there is enough space to do my workout dvds when i start doing them again :p
this is the back room where i do most of my living at the moment. it has a tv that actually has an aerial, my dining table and computer. plus most of my crap is on those shelves
another view. that doorway leads to my bedroom
my tiny bedroom. i was determined to get a double bed in here and i only just managed it. the door doesn't open all the way and right at the bottom is a fitted wardrobe - no space for anything else!
my titchy kitchen. well it does for me. only downside is it has no drawers! i manage....
basil on my kitchen windowsill with a view to my backyard, which is private - hurray. such a luxury in these type of flats. i've already had a barbecue out there. i want to pretty it up and get lots of pots with purple plants but i'll probably not get round to it before i move again :pbathroom. tada! that concludes our tour for today
