New addictions

Like some of you already know, i got a tendency to get addicted to things quite easily. The newest addiction:

Millinery

Art-thingies

Thursday 13 November 2008 at 12:52 am For those who wonder what I'm doing on wednesday, I 'm doing a  design course... at the local art academy. Different from what I thought it would be, but real relaxing to do. Most of the times, I do not have a 'product' which I can show you. But today I've got something which can be photographed. The theme was 'recycle' so I used some industrial waste products and we were asked to make some jewellery. Don't know if I'll ever wear them but I do like the idea's behind them. The experiments:

Second lesson

Dream

Friday 31 October 2008 at 09:07 am As promised, I placed some home made truffels on the table. After the first bite he said: 'Wow, delicious. And you make your own clothes too. You're the dream of every man.' Glad to know...

Calling

Monday 29 September 2008 at 02:26 am

Okay, in August i wrote about a puncture. But today i really had a puncture. What does one do? Well i've decided to repair it myself. With some help, i managed to take off the rear wheel, only to find out that the inside tire of the rear wheel is different from the one in the front (it's a French one instead of a normal one). So still couldn't repair it. Tomorrow, the first thing i'll do will be going down to the bike shop and then i'll be able to ride again!!! (hopefully) I'll keep you posted - might have finally found my calling *grin*

*edit* Once i got the right tire the problem was fixed in 10 mins.

When you need one

Where's a Mic when you need one?

Coincidentally, just standing in front of the door.

Thnx Mic!

Feeling stupid...

I've just finished a beautiful green skirt. Comfortable. Sporty. Black stitching. Asymmetric seam. Tunnels and black stoppers. Typical 'queck' skirt. Except for one thing... it's a European size 38 and I'm a 36.

Whoops. Anyone interested?

Stupid, stupid, stupid

Friday 08 February 2008 at 10:49 am There are some things you shouldn't do when you've almost finished sowing a skirt... one of those things is to (accidentally) cut a hole in the front. Grmpfh.

Everyone's a writer

Monday 24 December 2007 at 06:37 am

From the recently finished 'Bad Heir Day' by Wendy Holden, a very enjoyable read:

"You write, of course?"

"In theory, how did you know?"

"Well, everyone's a writer," came the rather less flattering reply. "I tell everyone at the start of my course that a book is just like an arsehole. Everyone's got one in them. And most of what comes out is, of course, usually..." He cleared his throat delicately.

"Oh" [...]

"But the point is, [...] it's better out then in. Most people feel a lot better afterwards, anyway. It helps them work out their frustrations. I'm a great believer in the therapeutic value of writing things down. If everyone did it, the world would be a better, calmer, less hysterical place. And if that means there are a few more bad novels about, so what?"

She's absolutely right. And still, I just can't. Maybe I should just get on with it...
