Waiting Waiting...

i'm now waiting to hear from college about whether or not an art tutor will take me on as their student teacher. It's nearly two weeks, that'll be Wednesday and i'm eagerly checking the post everyday. Please keep your fingers and toes crossed for me!


Today is my first day off of the week, yesterday Chris went back to uni in Bournemouth for the last stretch. I was a little sad but compared to how hard it has been it was nothing, when he returns it'll be for good. Well, we won't be apart for that amount of time again i hope! So i am happy and content, very happy. So today i've cleaned the kitchen and baked a cake, a little one to go in my new glass cake stand! Ooo I can't wait! Pictures later on. And i plan to do some drawing in my garden, it's been rather a long time since i did some drawing an enjoyed it.

My anniversary present from Chris arrived on Saturday, I got it yesterday after seeing him off on the train. It is a limited edition book that is full of postcards, a greetings card and a fold out map, its is so cute and by Vicky Lindo. You can find her here www.vickylindo.co.uk I tried to hotlink to her page but the world is against me!

i'd also like to mention Modbury in South Devon which has become the first plastic bag free town. Lets follow their very good example please!

Many posts in one!

I really should have updated this several times this week because so many things have happened.

+ I handed in my dissertation on Wednesday!!! it's finally gone and now I can do whatever I want to do! YAY!

+ I had my PGCE 'interview' on Wednesday, it can only be described as an interview in the loosest of terms as it was much more like an info giving event, I now have to wait to see if I can get placed with an art tutor, but considering I know the lady who mentors PGCE students because she used to teach me, i'm hoping i have a foot in the proverbial door, but no chicken counting please!!

+ Thursday Chris and I went to London for two days, and saw Explosions in the Sky at the Astoria. It was stunning, absolutely amazing, i'm so glad we went and Chris was in awe. Of course we did some shopping too, though it wasn't as successful as my usual London shopping trips. i guess that just means i can buy more fabric and more wool for my granny square blanket LOL! I had a great time, specially people watching and we spent some time sitting in parks and relaxing, it was great.

+ T shirt and plaited belt from American Apparel. Selvedge textiles magazine and Fruits Japanese magazine. Polka dot letter writing set from Artbox. Explosions In The Sky album from the gig and Clear photo frame and rubber stamp set from Muji.

+ Also met my friends Sarah and Flo for lunch which was great as I don't get to see them anywhere near as often as i'd like. Flo brought me a wonderful gift of a glass cake stand, i have a current love for them. This one is extra special though as it is entirely glass and also has a glass dome lid, but I shall save that picture for when there's a cake in it!!
