....receiving my university results. One distinction, and two high distinctions. I am very happy with that. I am changing my course slightly for 2014 onwards, to a double major in Sustainable Development and Community Development. I am slowly hatching ideas and plans for my future 'career' (or not) direction and am very excited about what the next few years may bring.
.... the lead up to Christmas is so exciting! What have you and yours been up to?
We've got the heatwave to come - warm today, hot tomorrow and scorching on Thursday but tomorrow we are off to the beach for Allegra's birthday (was on 11th Dec). The crafting has been going well with hanging candle holders from upcycled baby food jars (given to me by a friend) and upcycled plastic container turtles to be made this afternoon, a tray we redecorated, placemats to be decorated and varnished and terracotta pot bells that just need their hangers and the bit that makes them ring (dongers?) inside them. It's been fun. :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to see pics of your craft, Jess! It all sounds wonderful!
