Hello my lovelies!! Aaacht so today has been a day of non adventures (even mini ones), a distinct lack of new tales to tell, real or imagined and so instead I shall tell you a couple of tales of trivia from the world of Gillian - I have to think of some wee thing to amuse myself don't I!
No 1 - I sing......to TV commercials.....every single one apparently. I say apparently as 90% of the time I don't even realise I am doing it. Example......
Gillian is sitting quietly sewing, the TV is on but she doesn't know what is on as she isn't actually watching it. She glances over at the love of her life who is painting model figures with a smiling smirk on his face.
G: "What's up honey?"
M: "You" (smile gets goofier)
G: "What about me, dear?"
M:"You and your singing"
G:"What singing?"
M: "You are singing again"
G: "No I am not"
M "Yes you were"
and so it goes on. This conversation happens at least a couple of times a week or so I am told. And apparently I have no taste, discretion or favourites... I sing to everything. Car ads, toilet paper, cereal....... everything. I am in denial.
No 2 - I drink liquids like I am 5 years old and I can't help 'myself. You know how most adults sip tea/juice/milkshake....like adults. I gulp.... like I am a child and I don't know why. It is probably kind of gross and completely uncivilised but Mark thinks it is hilarious. He says he has actually never seen anything like it. He thinks it is cute. I think I need to grow into a lady. I also have the equally inexplicable habit of raising my right hand whilst I am gulping as if I am taking an oath of some kind. At college my best friends and I had 'top 10 things I love about you' lists for each other. My childlike strange habit of raising my right hand whilst gulping was on most of their lists. I'll never be a proper lady................
So there you have it. That is about as exciting as my day has been. Thinking of trivial and meaningless details to tell you!!
It beats worrying about the fact that our car insurance bill has gone from £250/$490 to £450/$880. Yep it definitely beats that!!
So here are 2 new items listed in my etsy shop all ready for the valentine's showcase .
Oh and I can't remember if I have put this in my blog yet but my website is now online which is quite exciting. It is gradually being designed for me and there is still alot to be done yet, portfolio and gallery pages etc - I shall put a link up on my blog in the next couple of days.
Oh and one final thing - I am beginning to put photograph albums together in the right hand column here so that you can view previous projects I have worked on and costumes I have designed and made aswell as art work. I have been really wanting a gallery area somewhere and this will work whilst my website is still in development. I shall add another project tomorrow.
Oh dear - a bit of an uneventful post to be sure, I shall have to create an adventure for tomorrow! Stay well my dears and have a wonderful day. Oh and I shall post details of my up and coming project with the wonderful and talented stiletto heights tomorrow, now that my darlings IS exciting!!!
I love the cuffs. Love them. I'm checking out your shop.

I can't wait to hear about your project with Stiletto!
I sing too so you are not alone. The problem is I know I do it, and I know I can't sing. lol. Your items for the Showcase are superb! I especially like the armwarmers. The buttons are a great touch.

Thanks so much Aimee - the showcase didn't go that well unfortunately - no sales and not even sure if I got many views!

Project with stiletto heights???Interesting!!! I have been painting since 5:30 a.m. so I am a little blind and dislexic right now. sorry. So, first of all the gulping is hilarious. I have a habit, due to small hands, that is very 5 years old also. I always clasp both of my hands around a cup while I drink. Everyone laughs. I don't realize it either. And the singing. Well, I seem to have a problem whislting. My dad, when I am visiting home, hollers down the corridor, you are whistling.... It is funny. a funny sort of girl we are. but lovely all the more.???

Oh my goodness Vanessa - 5.30am!!!! I don't know whether to be envious or get you some help! Or maybe I should take inspiration and just get myself up earlier! My small hands are the bane of my life and cause all sorts of difficulties. It's kind of like the top section of all my fingers have been chopped off, short and stubby is not really conjusive (sp?) to all sorts of art and craft.

Hi, I swear I just heard you singing?? Out loud??? My Bolgna has a first name, its... Was that you?? You said commercials... Oh, why ask, you won't even know if you were singing!! hee hee... So, I will just say, I think I heard you! How are you???
Posted by: Vanessa | 10 February 2007 at 03:34 PM
Singing? But what singing my dear? It wasn't me....you must be mistaken!
When the moon hits the sky, like a big pizza pie......... tra la la.....tr la leeee
