Wednesday,

There's something in the air at the moment I think.

Something really creative and motivating.

It's probably related to the Olympics somehow,

but I love it!

:)

I've found myself reading more blogs recently and listening to music I'd never heard of before.

I saw this on one blog and fell in love

Me and Lewis went for a walk last night with Hamish

and I felt even more inspired!

Do you ever find that you get so wrapped up in your little world and all of the little things in your world that are important,

that just sometimes

you really forget how lucky you are?

I've completely forgotten that I live in such a beautiful place!



*promise to self - take photos more and love my little world!*

So, is anyone else enjoying the Olympics?

I can't believe how in to it I am,

I really didn't see this coming, but now I'm itching to get myself down to London!

:)

C'mon GB!

Monday!

Hello Monday!

Where on earth did you come from?

It hasn't been a terrible day...

... if I ignore the train issues this morning.

I really do need to grow my driving confidence to do the Guildford to Reading commute!

Eap, I can't help it, I'm a bit of a scaredy cat!

:(

But all came right when I (finally) got to work!

Loooooook!

Biccy the Iced Gem Wookie from the amazing

kittypinkstars!

:)

Eeeey, I love him!

AND he came with a packet of iced gems! mmmmm

:)

Now I am happy

:)

In Pheeple news...

have you seen the newest Pheeple?

They were all having a lovely time last week, playing nicely with each other (for a change!)

and then one sneaky one found the dressing up box!

You should have seen some of the costumes!

One Pheeple found a massive wig that covered his eyes, so of course he didn't see the pair of Pheeples that decided to dress up as a horse whilst he was running over to show me!

There were horse bits and tufts of wig everywhere!

And this little lady found these cat ears, tail and a little pink nose.

She liked them so much that I haven't been able to get her to give them back yet.

She does look quite cute though!

:)

She's now up for adoption in my Etsy shop here:

kitty cat felt pheeple

But she does insist that she is allowed to take her new costume with her!

Now I have to go and make them ALL cups of tea apparently!

I think I'll treat myself to one too though.

:)

I hope you all had a lovely weekend

and are having a great day today!

Thursday!

Heyloooo!

I don't know what's wrong with me at the moment!

I'm really sorry folks, I just feel so darn sleepy all of the time at the mo,

and coffee just seems to make me worse!

Weird!

I am sorry I haven't been about

I have been busy!

Honest!

:)

I took the Pheeple's to their very first craft fair last weekend (23rd June)

and it was so much fun!

There were so many lovely stalls and the whole atmosphere was lovely!

:)

The craft fair was run by vintagepixie, and it was just a perfect gathering of crafty/vintagey people!

I met some fantastic crafters and other stall holders.

natalialovatjewellery was the stall next to mine, and within the first hour or so I'd fallen in love with one of her beautiful pieces of jewellery!

*puts on my birthday list*

:)

I've got all of the other photos on my facebook page here if you would like to take a look:

The Pheeples

Ooof, I am feel oober sleepy!

I think I might end up falling asleep on the train again tonight

:/

Eap!

Keep an eye out for me in Redhill if sleep through my stop!

:)

lol

I hope you're all well!

I will be on here more, bugging you with randomness when I'm more awake!

This Week...

Ahhh Friday,

thank goodness!

To be honest, this week has been hard work.

Somehow, coming back to work on the Wednesday for 3 days of work before the weekend is harder than doing a normal week!

Hmm, not sure how that works, but hay!

:)

So, what has everyone been up to this week?

I have found that going for a walk through massively tall grass in the rain can be quite refreshing!

Just so long as you roll your jeans up!

There's nothing worse than soggy jeans!

I've had an utterly gorgeous Lewis cook me an utterly gorgeous dinner!

Yes folks, that's STEAK!!

mmmmm

Thank you Lewis, you made my day!

:)

I received something very special in the post this morning

Isn't it beautiful!

:)

Take a little visit over to AlteredEras to see all of her wonderful jewellery pieces!

There's a stunning pair of earrings I've got my eye on, so you can browse and buy all of the loveliness... except them!

:)

And last but not least this week,

I've been introduced to 2 amazing nuggets of animation!

I am in love with both of them,

they just make me smile so much!

And what could you want from a couple of minutes out of your day? A smile and a giggle is definitely worth a watch.

:)

Thecuriousmissclay introduced me to

Simon's Cat

:)

This is how my morning started yesterday!

...thanks Cat!

And I was also enlightened into the world of the Miniscule Series:

:)

I can't tell you how happy this makes me!

and there's so much inspiration bubbling from these little animations.

I really do feel quite re-charged with ideas!

Who knows what the Pheeples will get up to now!

So that's my little week.

How was yours?

And next week's going to be even better...

I'm going to Cornwall!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

:)

lol, I may be a tad over excited.

I hope you all have a lovely week next week,

 I'll try and bring you back a pasty or some ice cream!

A Little Bit About Pheeples

The Pheeples have been around for a little while now,

but who really knows what or who they are?

Well, they've asked me very nicely to let you all know.

In fact, they somehow have it all written down! I'm not sure how, unless the Pheeples of old had hands and could write. Or maybe they trapped a poor, unsuspecting human and forced them to type it out.

(I'd like to vote for the latter personally. They are a VERY mischievous bunch!)

:)

Anyhoo, they've told me that I can have cake if I post this,

so enjoy the 1st entry of...

The Pheeples 

Part #1

Did you ever lose a thought or a memory?

Even just the smallest thought of what you had for breakfast last Tuesday? It’ll be lost and forgotten, amongst many memories just the same. Lost in the forgotten places where there’s no control over any of them.

So they build themselves together, using the forgotten fluff and dust, found only in the forgotten places.

Half fluff and the other half, the wonderful essence of “People”, the Pheeple have decided that they don’t want to be forgotten any more. They want to explore the world that’s forgotten them, and remember as much of it as possible.

Of course, not all forgotten thoughts are mundane and quiet.  Some thoughts, before they were forgotten, were so intense that they even made you laugh out loud, and jump on the spot with excitement. And some are so terrible, that as soon as they are conjured into your mind, you immediately cast them aside, down the back of the sofa with the rest of the dust.

You might need to keep your eye on the Pheeples that are born there…

Stick around for more info on these little guys!

I've had a sneaky peek at how the Pheeple Fairies came to be, but apparently I'm not allowed to tell you about them until next time!

... maybe there'll be more cake!

:)

Freedom!

Something very special happened at the weekend!

Cat was released into the wild!!

:)

Bless her little cotton white feet, she's been oogling the outside world for so long now. She's even ran at the window and didn't quite manage to stop on more than one occasion when she saw a little birdy outside.

So, on Saturday 26th June 2012

the back door was opened

and left open!

*dun dun dun*

Apparently it took her about 2 and a half hours to pluck up the courage to venture out, but once she did...

... I don't think the world was quite ready for Cat!

lol

and of course, when the mean little dog next door starts to bark like crazy, the empty paint bucket is the safest place to be!

:)

Darrw!

Bless her.

And for the whole of Sunday she slept... and slept... and slept

:)

A very exhausting day for Cat,

but she is a free cat now.

I'm so proud of her!

Even if she hasn't quite figured out what those massive pigeons are yet.

They're about the same size as her!

I don't blame her for being cautious, I had images of her trying to jump on one and then it flying off with her on its back!

But that hasn't happened yet!

Fewf!

:)

In other news...

I'm taking the Pheeples to their very first craft fair!

:)

They're very excited!

It's a vintage/craft fair in Shalford on 23rd June!

It would be lovely to see some Pheeple fans there!

:)
