tuesday 29 march 2011 card the world s greatest performing monkeys greetings welcome to week 2 of my break in order to keep myself out of all kinds of mischief i ve been crafting and here s a card i made featuring performing monkeys obviously the poster of signorita galetti and her troupe of the world s greatest performingmonkeys was simply printed from the vintage theatre and circus image cd from 3djean it s it s my day to post for the scattered scarlet design team blog today you can see another card over on their blog today too both cards were put together like so many projects recently using bits from the great bag of bits i hoard i m much more of a skip rat than a refined shopper these days all of which basically means that i m far more inspired by left overs other people s scraps and found items than i am brand new fully co ordinating single brand kits a nd that s all well and good except except the only problem with using bits and leftovers is that no matter how hard i try they never run out i can never use them up they don t go anywhere because the fact of the matter is once you ve cut into a bit foolishly thinking you re on your way to putting it to full use if you don t use every last square centimetre of it on your current project rather than get rid of it you ve actuallly just made in into two bits you ve doubled the original bit count cloned it and you re left with another bit to find a use for bits are like the japanese knotweed of the craft realm if you don t get rid of it all in one go it multiplies or else they re like the terminator unstoppable can t knock em down but even if you do you can t keep them down all you can do is make another card with them and then maybe another so i would ask you about your experiences of bits but frankly i m afraid you might get the wrong idea anywhooo if you do get chance to visit my post on the 3djean blog my post is here and for those of you who fancy joining me in a month in numbers post i m on track to post mine this thursday march 31st i ll happily include a link to your post in mine or edit mine afterwards to fit you in send me your links via a comment or an email also i ve made a button badge thingy to adorn your sidebar if you so wish s o if you re viewing this in a reader make sure to hop out for a minute so you can grab the code and that s me for today off to scavenge for lunch i m torn

overheard is the ltest to the collection and is still making me smile so i thought i d share it with you now regardless in my previous overheard post i bemoaned the fact that as i now have to sit near the front of lecture rooms usually right near the lecturer i hardly ever overhear any funny snippets of campus chatter and it was all true until a fortnight ago prior to a packed out lecture seated right in front of the podium i was well within earshot of four lecturers the scene four lecturers all male were huddled around a lectern busily connecting up a laptop to the overhead projector judging by the conversation two of the men had not seen each other in a while lecturer 1 you ve lost weight haven t you lecturer 2 yep three stone lecturer 1 wow is it that much lecturer 2 yeah but i have to lose another stone and a half yet lecturer 1 clearly bemused by the whole dieting concept why do you have to is there a particularly small hole you re wanting to fit through not only was it a great punchline to a conversation you don t very often hear men having it also made for a great alice down the rabbit hole style of surreal image in my head and again i did my best nonchalant i m in no way smiling at the conversation i m not meant to be listening into face while making a mental note to write it down the minute i got out of sight as soon as i catch any fresh real life conversational gold you know you ll be the first to hear about it see you soon julie p s the photo is the tape measure belt i made myself a couple of years ago if you click on the image it ll take you to a how to on it

march 2011 sometimes they catch you greetings as a part time freelancer and maker of things i spend a good proportion of my time seeking out opportunities trying to gain momentum hoping to promote myself my words and my wares to you to customers to editors in short to any and all other living creatures i plan out expressions of interest proposals submissions to magazines i draft out ideas for future workshops i keep my eyes peeled for guest blogging slots i m alert to the calls for work submissions etc from people magazines and journalists on twitter i scribble down ideas for new product ranges i d make for my etsy shop if only i had the time add to all of this the pressure i put on myself to achieve something and it s little wonder that all this chasing tires me out from time to time but i ought not to forget that there are times while i m running in one direction and chasing something ahead of me someone unexpected catches up runs alongside me and asks me to do something for them and i can stop running and catch my breath like when i was commissioned to personalise a special journal the request came from out of the blue from someone who i ve never met but for who i d made a journal for a while ago when it was the only thing i could offer them during a difficult time this new journal is to record the good times and i couldn t have been happier to make it even though i cried when they asked remembering this has helped me get over myself and a relatively fleeting pity party i had with myself yesterday regarding all the chasing i do when sometimes i d just like to be hunted down because as this journal proves sometimes i am hunted down sometimes i get asked to do a job such as a journal which will never appear in a book or magazine but which is ultimately so very important to the person who commissioned it and therefore to me how about you remind me of that next time i drift off into self doubt i think i ll go and write it down and pin it to my brain so that i can remember to rest awhile safe in the knowledge that someone somewhere is recording the details of a real colourful spirited life in a book i made thanks for stopping by to take a breather with me

that certain something hi hi hi how s things i m off work at the moment on an oddly placed spring break from uni it s neither a half term nor an easter holiday and as if that wasn t confusing enough i ve been feeling ridiculous each time i ve had to say the term spring break it just makes me think of all those stories you hear from america where students get drunk and girls enter into wet t shirt competitions and inadvisable relationships i on the other hand have merely and innocently been working on a papercraft inspirations magazine commission which is just as well really because i can at least blog photos my exploits without losing my job well sort of i can t actually blog the projects i ve just finished until after it s published however i ve had to take a sneaky close up of one of the items so i could show you this it s just a place called kirk ness on an old map of the shetland isles which i spotted when i d decided to incorporate a map on to the thing i can t show you however i ve been enjoying thinking of it more as a term which could be used to describe something which feels like either my work or just me for e g that collage made from old tat has a certain kirkness to it ooh there s a special kirkness to that old bird ornament her scream of terror at that passing dog had a defininte ring of kirkness to it and so on you get the picture don t you or maybe i m just a little lighthead after being so efficient and productive these past two days i mean i ve only knocked over a pot of painty water and a bottle of stamp cleaner once so really the success could easily have gone to my head for the record i splurged the stamp cleaner on my jeans the ones i tend not to wash very often as i like how soft they get and on which rather than leave a stain the spilled cleaner fluid left a clean patch oh the shame yet yet that whole scenario does have a certain air of kirkness to it wouldn t you say jx so tell me what has an air of your name to it posted by julie

hello hello i m feeling virtuous this is due to the following for the first time in years i resisted the temptation to go to the great northern papercrafts extravaganza which was held this weekend in harrogate this was decided after the 3 craft shops in 3 days trip i went on with friends a few weeks back in which i wasn t so virtuous my debit card got a lot of action that weekend i cleaned out the greenhouse today not a euphemism i swept up and discarded slugs and mouldy tomatoes from last autumn and everything i seem to have caught up with all of the prompts for the ukstampers weekly art journaling challenge here s proof of the latter at least my response to the prompt for week 10 which based around the idea of one week recording the things you did during that week with evidence my week involved returning home from the aforementioned crafting weekend going to work buying scarves and notebooks going to see count arthur strong s stage show and spending a day at the crop just in case the 3 days of crafting i d just returned form hadn t quite fulfilled my creative urges the evidence includes a bus ticket home nicely spattered with paint and ink and till receipts it was a 4 notebook week excessive even for me i had a hand in selecting the theme for week 11 as i mentioned here the other day to list 5 things that make you scared and use a scary colour on the background now then before we go on would you care to guess any of my 5 things i bet you can get at least one of them right considering that to select the theme for this week i d randomly flipped through an old dictionary until effie who sets the challenge said stop when i then read aloud what was on that page how funny is it that the definition we came across the definition of scare involved dogs after that there really was no way that i wouldn t be incorporating that exact definition on my actual page yeah no prizes for guessing that they d make it on to my list of fear the little character is a gorjuss girl who i saved from the envelope of a birthday card sent to me by the lovely andrea finally here s the rest of that list of things which leave me shuddering in fact just last night i screamed startled at the tv when an advert for some show involved a big ship tipping over in deep water combining 2 of the horrors on my list in one vile moment so those 5 are the main contenders right now but really i could have gone on i mean i haven t yet covered large aeroplanes head injuries stigmata loud noises looking down a stairwell not being able to check emails never writing a book the incorrect use of apostrophes and on it goes and after all that i feel obliged to finish like crimewatch always did so please don t have nightmares dear subconscious i hope you re listening to that too ok ok jx

about to put a special specially commissioned journal in the post i ll be listening to my new jonsi cd in the car on the way to work today which should compliment that sunshine perfectly and it s sunny out there or did i mention that already the golden rays have even sneaked into the photos i ve taken of the latest odd characters to grace the pages of my tag journal and even thought the weather is indeed finally warming up this poor lady has taken this particular fashion advice a little too far and as for this chap well he got tired of climbing up and down those mountains so he sprouted his own wings he was cut from a leaflet for a denver national park that effie was throwing away at a crop and as a longtime fan of the humble goat i guess it s a capricorn thing and the fact i like clambering i took pity on him and brought him home with me if you missed the overview of how i decorated the tag backgrounds you can catch up on that here and the other pages in this journal can be found in here as for the create soft fuzz and encourage flyaways phrase i think that came from a magazine feature on hair but can just as readily be used as a life philosophy i think oh and while we re on the topic of soft fuzziness and friends freaky or otherwise i just want to grab this chance to say thank you for the steady stream of comments that you leave here for me that you take a moment to pause and type something to let me know i m not whistling into the wind means a lot so thanks really right then i hope the sunshine s reached your corner or the globe today and if it has
