Instagram updates

Hi,

Here are some of my recent Instagram updates. 

Music Monday

Hi guys,

A little late but Music Monday time.

I've been listening a lot to this song  a lot, it's a really good video too.

I'm away to bed for an early night, i've been working on four custom orders recently so i'm pretty tired. My weekend will be quieter. Can't wait for a little bit of free time.

Hope you are all well.

Goodnight

Love Katy

My Trip away at the weekend 14th - 16th September :)

Hi there,

I have had an incredibly busy weekend. I was down in England and it was awesome. Minus the journey home but i will tell you about that a little further on.

I'm disappointed in myself for not taking many photos this weekend, the ones in this post are literally all i took. Very disappointed.

Sadly you can't see the name of this place but it is called 'The Cow' i had an excellent cup of tea in it and a lot of strangely dressed people passed this window as well as entered this pub.

They had pretty cool menu's in there too :)

And really cool pin up wallpaper.

This place was truly beautiful, i miss it so much already.

Already been looking at tickets to go back :)

This place was awesome. When you are sitting outside you are both inside and outside, this place was amazing. I loved it a lot, it was definitely my favourite place i went for a cup of tea whilst i was away.

England seem to really get into decorating there window displays. I'm not sure what this was but it looked pretty cool so i took a photo of it :)

On the Saturday night i went to Chiqutos just outside the hotel and i ordered a burger. But for some reason my eyes were bigger than my stomach and i ordered two burgers in one bun which i will admit i struggled a lot to eat because my mouth wasn't big enough to eat it.. Silly. Also learnt my lesson.

On the Sunday on the way home it took me 13.5 hours to get home instead of 9. There were signal problems and lots of other problems with travelling and i didn't end up getting back to Aberdeen until like 2am. Stressful. I got stranded in many places as well for ages including Newcastle and Carlilse. No matter how stressed i was and how long it took me to get back, i would do it all over again for the awesome weekend i had :)

Music Monday:The head and the heart

Hi There,

It's Monday! Which means from now on it's Music Monday.

I have had a mental weekend i have been away. Far far away. The journey home back to Aberdeen was a total disaster also. I will be posting photos and stories about that trip in the next few days.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

The Intouchables 2012 Film Review

Intouchables (Untouchables in English) it's out in two weeks in the UK but i was one of the lucky people who got to see the preview last night in Aberdeen's Cineworld.

Let me say first off that this film was not what i was expecting at all. This film really did truly blow me away and it was such a pleasant surprise. Now i really should tell you a bit about it before i continue to go on about how amazing it was.

Untouchables is a French subtitled film but please do not let that put you off, the amount of time you will be laughing with this film the less time you will worry about the subtitles. Anyways back on the point. Untouchables is about two characters:

One who is a gentleman named Phillipe who was in a terrible air gliding accident and who is now paralyzed from the neck down.

The other guy Driss who goes for a carer job interview that has been advertised by Phillipe but he has no intention of getting the job all he wants is to get his benefits form signed. Phillipe really grows fond of Driss and decides to hire him. What Phillipe really likes the most about him is the fact he forgets Phillipe is paralyzed. Both Phillipe and Driss's personalities are both so infectious.

If you want to laugh so hard your stomach aches then this is the film for you. Forget the fact it's subtitled. Untouchables is such a feel good film and one you've seen it you will be so pleasantly surprised at how much you've enjoyed it.

I'm going to give it five teacups out of five (as oppossed to stars)

Here is the trailer so you can take a peek for yourselves :)

Long time no speak

Hi there,

I am not going to lie when i say i have really missed blogging. I have had a lot of stuff going on recently that i have not found the time to blog which is totally ridiculous. So firstly i would like to apologize to my readers and i will now be back to blogging regularly and i have so much to tell you about.

For starters the weather here in Aberdeen has been quite lovely for a nice change. I've had many sunny days and many days of getting sun burnt but i have loved every minute of it. September seems to be our hottest month which is fairly odd seeing as it is the end of our summer time here in the UK, but i am not going to complain, not in the slightest.



Since i've been last here i have been obsessed with going to Thainstone Market which is just outside of Aberdeen. Thainstone Market is a huge car boot sale and i have bought many bits and pieces from here. It's on every Sunday. And as it is Sunday today i was up in the sunshine buying bargains. I also had a sad moment there today because there was a gorgeous tea set from 1967 but sadly it was £50 and a little out of my budget, but i did however get this!!

It's an owl cookie jar that i picked up for £4. I fell in love with it as soon as my friend spotted it!!! One day in my new home i will have this placed and yes i will fill it with cookies :)



I have been working at my new job for a month now, i am working in Health and Safety and loving every minute of it. As well as that i have been working on Birdie Teacup. I successfully took part in a craft fair and also loved every minute of it too. I have become obsessed with instagram recently so quite a few of my photos have been done on there.

I bought this teapot at Thainstone today too, it's a sewing machine teapot i just had to buy it!!! For some reason i cannot get the position of this photo to change, so apologizes.



I also picked up this wool and circular knitting needles today, my first pair of circular knitting needles i may add!! This is for a new project i will be starting just shortly which i will keep you posted about :)



I am really excited because Winter is coming (not meant to be a Game of Thrones quote but it did come out that way) I have already started buying jumpers and stocking up on my teabags ready for the cold weather.

I will be back in the next few days telling you all about my adventure of my first ever craft fair!!

I promise not to abandon you again, but i will say my blog will be changing a lot soon hopefully and it'll be more personalized.

Thank you for reading and being patient :)

Love

The Art of getting by...

Hi everyone,

Last night i re watched The Art of Getting By and decided that the soundtrack may be my personal summer soundtrack to life. Every track on it feels like it has been written personally for me (it obviously hasn't, but that is just how it feels.)

My life seems to have flipped around recently, one of my friends from when i was fourteen up until the age of twenty two i had the pleasure of knowing passed away. This was a tough time for my friends and i, and out of this horrible experience we all came together again to be friends as adults. This brought with it a lot of emotions and feelings that i really didn't even want to re surface, but they did and i dealt with them and do you know what? They worked out really well. Something that i had been really scared of facing for years finally happened and i realized i had nothing at all to be scared of.

It's been a tough time i will admit that, and it has been reflected in my blog posts, the few that i have been able to bring myself to write. I would just like to say i have turned a corner and inside my head now i am more at peace with a lot of things, and i feel i have grown as a stronger person. I have re connected relationships with friends that i hadn't spoken to in years and they have became so dear to me. I have started putting aside so much time to spend with family and friends, we are only here once and i don't want to miss a second!

I have really exciting news! Today i received some amazing news, i have just got a new job finally :) Thanks to my sister Sarah, who is a superstar!!! I start next Friday. I handed in my notice at my work today and i really was very scared and i felt so bad, but it's done now and it's something else off my 2012 checklist :)

Next weekend i will be travelling the seven hours down to Peterborough to go visit James. I am so excited!!! In the whole time we have known each other two months has been the longest we haven't seen each other and it has been really hard. My new job involves working Mon to Fri, so i will have every weekend off which means if James and i want to see each other we can :) Which is amazing. Everything has dramatically improved. Only six or so shifts left at my work, but i bet you they are the hardest. Oh well it's all pay at the end of the day and i don't have to do such long hours anymore. And maybe my leg will finally start to heal :)

This has been a bit of a heart felt post. Sorry for the heart spilling, sometimes you really just need to get things off of your chest. Some craft fair blog posts will be posted sometime this week.

I hope everyone is well :)

Love Katy
