Me loves Purikura!!!

Oooh found the best website!!!! Puricute is a gem of a site where you can kitsch up your pics Japanese stylie. Unfortunately I'm not the most picturesque/ cute-ist of subjects so just warning... www.puricute.com/

Week off-yes!

It's the first day of my week off and it's already pissing it down- oh well quite enjoy a violent thunder storm.

Off to Faversham market tmw to check out what treasures that has to offer and to see some rocking horses. I shall explain: my dad is thinking of making some and asked me to go along and offer my most valuable opinion. I'm really hoping the markets gonna be full of old bricka brac type stuff- love a good rummage through tat.xx

Street Fighter II !

Just watching T4 on the beach (?) and Fightstar were just interviewed. One of the band was dressed as Ken from Street fighterII (not sure why). But it's brought it all back. Oh how I miss the fights! MAY TRY AND DIG My Super Nin out and exercise my fighting thumbs/fingers again.

Bloomin' hell what am I doing?

Ok so tried to be clever and change layout to some rather lovely polka dot design but will it let me? So am now making the best of what I appear to be stuck with. Ugh that sounds all too familiar.

Anyhoo first blog and all that so better reveal some nuggets of info for you. Errr, I'm a Textile graduate who now works as a visual assistant (they changed the title to Visual Expert but that kinda sounds a tad wanky to moi) for Debenhams in Canterbury, Kent. It's all a bit blah so relinquish my inner crafty demons by making and (occasionally) selling kitsch brooches. Now marvel at their beauty damn you...

So gonna wrap this up now as it's pretty darn late and will really start to spout rubbish if I'm not careful. Later dudes will be back soonxx
