Just slothin' around

Just a few updates to let you know I'm not dead and I'm just having a bit of a hard time off the internet at the moment so this blog isn't the first thing on my mind. I do have a lot of posts in mind to do and hopefully I can get these up soon. 

But yes on with some updates: 

1. I've moved back home for just under 2 months.
2. I'm going on holiday with my family and boyfriend to Australia in mid December.
3. Christmas is coming!!!! (Christmas songs have already started playing in my room oops)
4. I've set up a Behance which you can find here, it's only got a few things on but shall be updated in the next few days with everything from my first two years at uni and stuff from my free time. 
5. Only two months til we get a cat!! 
6. I've started learning how to use dip pens *more on this later*
7. All the above photos are from my Tumblr which you can follow here.

Pretty ideas, bits, and bobs

There's just something so exciting about moving into a new place in that you can pick up all your old stuff and shove it into a new environment and it all looks like 10x more amazing! Of course with the addition of a whole bunch more stuff you bought beforehand cuz it would 'look good in the new house'. Now with the idea of packing boxes being a month away my heads just brimming with ideas about how I (and the boyfriend but mainly I) will make the place look fabby. I've been browsing Tumblr and Pintrest for some basic ideas at the moment and not allowing myself to get too involved in ideas until we've moved in and seen where everything we already have is going to fit. Especially as I'm probably only going to be living there for around 2 weeks before I move back home for the summer until January when the real work kicks in and I'm, as my boyfriend puts it, 'allowed to put all the girly shit everywhere'. Until then the scrolling will continue, mood boards will be created in my head and probably some minor things might be bought oops...

VCD's ruined you!

Fueled by crispy m&m's and coke I've finally reached the end of the first half semester woohoo! Unfortunately I lost my mind and broke down a few minor times during this time but hey I survived and I've handed in pretty much all my work now. I haven't really had any free time to blog or even scroll tumblr so sorry anyone following my tumblr as it hasn't been as busy as usual. But the good thing is I've actually been learning things, shock horror I've been actually learning things from the university I'm paying to teach me things! From this I hope to turn this blog into a more kind of design blog than a lifestyle blog even though it was already leaning towards design so this means a new layout and new style (just as soon as I go home and have time to sort it). I'll hopefully be able to post more artists and inspiration and also my class work. For those of you who don't know I'm studying Bachelor of Design majoring in visual communication design which pretty much is a mixture of graphic design, illustration, digital media, and advertising.

Pinning the future

A few months ago I signed up to Pintrest but having browsed that first time I didn't understand the addictions some people have (including my mum). But a couple of days ago I returned specifically to browse the home decor pins as Tumblr didn't have enough inspiration for my liking. Oh how I was a naive child turning away from Pintrest those many months ago it's now become one of my favourite website under Tumblr and others of course, it can't take over that easily. What's a lousy 64 pins compared to 19,000 reblogs.. If you want to follow me the link to my boards is below. 

I personally love interior decorating and can't wait to design my own house, I'm not sure if I want to pursue a career into it as I really didn't like the spacial classes I took this year. It's fun to browse though and get ideas for when I do finally get my own home x

Time to take a much needed break

With hand-ins happening next week the end of the semester is looming and creeping towards us so quickly it's hard to believe we're almost through half a year of University. It felt like only last week I had stocked up on energy drinks getting through the massive amounts of work for first quarter hand-ins and now we're here. The one thing I do seem to struggle with whenever due dates start looming is time management... I suck at it. I am constantly leaving everything to the last minute and stressing until the very half hour before the due time about not getting it done. I do of course, I always do but I just feel like it's never going to be my best work if I rush it all at the end but it's who I am. 

I came across this graphic while surfing Tumblr on one of my many study breaks and thought to myself that I should really do more with my breaks than just switching tabs from research websites to Tumblr. So I might not be doing everything on that list but some I might just give a go in the many breaks I have left until last hand-in. I've already started on a wee little project of my own that I've been doing in breaks and it's going pretty well if I must say but you guys will have to wait and see when I've finished hehe x
