work work work

good morning everyone! 

I've been slacking on the old blog posts lately!  working full time makes me tired.  all i want to do when i come home is have food and sleep.  one of my new year resolutions will be to make more effort though! Promise!!

I had Christmas day off, which was lovely, and this if my first day off since then!  so I'm spending the day watching Beauty and the Beast, eating snacks and making Dino Love Cross Stitch Kits!  

It was my birthday a week before Christmas... I wont declare my age, but i feel SO SO SO old :(  I'm not happy about it.  i got some lovely things though, for both birthday and Christmas.  Here are some:

 

 New teapot!!!

 

Hanging owls!  there's actually four of them hanging on the string.  i just love how they look so angry!

 

My new cake bag!  i got most of my presents in this.  cute isn't it!?

 

Chocolate Bourbon keyring, from my brother.  even though it's little, this is one of my favourite presents!  as i cant eat most chocolate (due to the milk), finding out that cheap chocolate bourbons don't contain any diary made my year!  i eat an awful lot of them now! 

 

Cute knitted turtle that my friend Cyran made for me! 

 

Button trinket box!  

 

cute mini cake candles.  they are so sweet!  they'd look beautiful all lit up, but then they'd be ruined after. should i? shouldn't i????

 

Cath Kidston pin cushion.  

 

Roald Dahl biography, from mummy and daddy.  looking forward to reading this! 

other things i got include: new boots, pj's and CAR INSURANCE! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!  

Not having to get the bus everywhere is lovely, but petrol is so expensive!

tomorrow is the start of 2011.  this year has gone so fast.  a lot of people have been moaning about what a bad year it's been for them, but for me it's been alright!  Nothing majorly bad has happened, I got a new job, I've had a lovely time with my friends etc and had some great exhibitions and sales with Penelope Teapot! THANK YOU EVERYONE!  Next year will be even better!

I plan to move out, design new things to sell and hopefully go on a nice holiday somewhere. 

i already have another blog post lined up... so keep watching!  and just a reminder that you can find me on facebook or follow me on tumblr (and this is my personal tumblr too).

happy new year everyone!
